Belfast

BelfastBelfast is fantastic.  With eight musicians up on the stage, including a flutist and an electric violin, Belfast makes an impression.  I’ve seen them perform with both one and two lead singers.  While the two lead singers, trying to weave their participation together sometimes by alternative phrases, needed more practice to jell, but the music behind them, including the prominent flute and electric violin are a pleasure to listen to.  Celtic metal, a fusion of death metal and Celtic folk music, is naturally softer and more lyrical and melodic than other sub-genres of metal.  That said, Belfast is notably more “death” and less lyrical than, for example, Celtic metal pioneers Cruachan.  The band plays lots of covers of Mägo de Oz, definitely a crowd pleaser.
