Newfoundland, Canada’s black metal duo Artach announces the release of their latest album Morrigan…Goddess Of War due out on March 21, 2025 via Depressive Illusions Records. This third full length represents the band’s strongest material yet. It’s a relentless assault of blackened thrash metal that captures the intensity and fury the duo have always strived for. From crushing riffs to searing melodies, every track on this release is forged with raw passion.
“We’ve poured everything into this record, and we can’t wait for fans to experience the full force of Morrigan…Goddess Of War,” adds Sruthán (Guitar/Bass).
Today, Artach unveils the lead single “Macha”, one of the three songs that are part of the Morrigan trilogy on the album with the songs that also includes “Badb”, and “Nemain”.
Sruthán (Guitar/Bass). explains further:
“Macha, one of the Morrígan, was known for her prophetic visions and her role as a fierce protector of warriors. She is sometimes considered one aspect of the Morrígan, a trio of war goddesses.
The three goddesses, and what elements they represent, that make up the Morrígan in Irish mythology are:
Macha – War, sovereignty, horses.
Badb – Battle, death, chaos.
Nemain – Frenzy, panic, terror.
Together, they represent different aspects of war, fate, and destruction in Celtic mythology.”
Due out March 21, 2025, CD and Cassette for Morrigan…Goddess Of War will be available from Depressive Illusions.
Artach is a two-man black metal band (Sruthán: Guitar/Bass, Fíochmhar: Battery/Vokills/Keys)based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. Being from the foggiest, snowiest, wettest, windiest, and gloomiest capital city in Canada, one should not be surprised that this fuels the creation of black metal. Their inspiration comes from the land, nature, the bleak weather of the Canadian North, and influential black metal bands.

“Macha”
