      @Original50 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @@silverkitty2503 According to Last.fm - '"Dearg Doom" translates roughly as "Red Destroyer". It is in reference to Irish mythical warrior Cúchulainn - meaning "Hound of Ulster". A name he inherited as a reparation for killing a wolfhound. The song is a take on the Irish folk tune written for battle: O'neills cavalry/march. The track is from the album "The Tain" referencing Táin Bó Cúailnge (The Cattle Raid of Cooley) which tells the story of a cattle raid in the middle of a War between Ulster and Connaught. The hero of this story was Cúchulainn.

    The whole album The Tain was brilliant. It was a rock version of the Tain Bo Cuiailnge, better known as the Cattle Raid of Cooley. My favourite track on this LP was always Ferdia’s song where the great Irish hero Cuchulainn kills his best friend Ferdia.

If you're lucky enough to get a vinyl (yep, VINYL) copy, disengage the record-player clutch/speed control at the very, very end of 'Time to Kill' (final track, side 2) and run it backwards (using light pressure via your finger) - great!
