    Recorded between 2011 -2012 in the bands own studio in Dublin, it has been self released by the band on November 2012.

    The concept for the album deals with the Landing of the Gael and the main heroes and characters as part of that saga. The artwork was painted by the band's drummer Anais Chareyre. It depicts the Battle of Tailtin, the armies of the Men of Dea against the Men of the Gael being over watched by the goddess Danu rising from the hills and mountains of Eire.The band have been working hard since 2010 melding the influences of black, doom, folk metal into one unified force. Inspired by Irish Mythology and its sagas, Celtachor hope to cover new ground in 2013 and spread their message to Europe and beyond reciting the ancient tales of Ireland in their own voice and way.

The Landing Of Amergin

Winds rising, Waves Crashing,
Amergins eyes fixed on the shore!
Sons of The Gael At Inver Slane,
Return to Revenge the death of Ith
Sent forth by Mileds Sons
If you can not claim the land!
Then your kin will follow
And take it as their own!

The Ships came the Tuatha
Ran to the shore!
Casting ancient spells
To subdue them!
The Gael hindered
By their enchantments
Finally they landed at Inver Sceine!
They Marched to Slieve Mis, Eibhline And to Uisneach,
They were met by Three Queens,
Amergin spoke to them Fodhla,
Banba and Eriu!

To the realm of Teamhair
The Gael did journey,
A great quarrel was among
Cermaits Sons!
Even with a house so full of riches,
Food and wealth as far
As the eye could see!
The Gaels were puzzled
And confused at their rage,
And Among the sons
Amergin rose proclaiming:
GIVE UP THE KINGSHIP
OR FACE BATTLE!

The Sons refused to battle then but
Said make us an offer fair!
Amergin told his men to go
Nine waves from the shore!

Rising waves crash at the ships
The wind blasting at the fray
Hail to Amergin Hail to him
Hail to Amergin The Druid Of the Gael.
Dark clouds gathering above
A wind unnatural amassing
Hail to Amergin Hail to him
Hail to Amergin The Druid Of the Gael.

The Gael had left in their ships.
The Men of Dea arrived,
Casting a Great Wind
It scathered them all.
Against the waves under
A blackened sky!

Amergin knew something was afoot.
Arranan knew this aswell!
He died with his ship
Against the rocks!
This wind unnatural
Untamed and wild...

Donn and Twenty-four
Did drown in the sea,
Ir's body was thrown
And cast to the shore,
His enemies were in dread
Of his name.
Heremon at Inver Colpa of the Sword
Five of Mileds Sons!
Tossed by the wind!
And Devoured by the Great Sea!

Heber Heremon and Amergin,
Were left to lay claim of Eire!
Donn who was swept into the sea!
He called out to treachery
"There is none here!" Amergin said
And he called to the great wind,
That whom is tossing
In the sea may he reach land,
That in its mountains, valleys,
Forests and rivers,
And great waters
That he may find a place.
A king of our own
And a place for our kin.
The wind grew silent and law calm.

I am the force in the wind
I am the strong waves of the sea
I am the horns of the bull
I am the eagle wings spread
I am the blazing sun
I am a oak in the wood
I am a boar from the hunt
I am a salmon in the water
I am a lake deep and endless
I am the word of knowledge
I am the sword and spear in battle
I am the one who puts fire in its head

Who spreads light
In the gathering on the hills?
Who can tell the ages of the moon?
Who can tell the place
Where the sun rests?
