The third album, Fiannaìocht, concept album about the youth of Irish Mythology hero Finn of the Fianna. A few things have changed musically since the last albums. First of all, a violinist was added to the band, and the new bassist also plays Irish harp and bouzouki, the result is more folk and melodic. Second point, clear vocals have been implemented: vocalist Stephen who used to specialise in black metal vocals only, brought some powerful clear vocals to the new album.
