Beithíoch (Bay-EE-yuckh; Irish word meaning "beast") personifies pure action. The animal symbolises freedom from humanistic moral boundaries and the contemplative quandaries of the human psyche when removed from the necessity of struggle for life. Beithíoch is an idea, a resolve and a way of working.

New album "Aisling Dhorcha" released now.

Díolaim is made up of pieces written between 2002 and 2005. Whilst it is certainly intended as a document of an untold creative period, it is arranged to function as a communicative whole. Most of the familiar trappings of black metal are here (granular production, romantically-informed melodic and harmonic ideas...) absent however are the more hedonistic tendencies which black metal has identified itself with in latter years. Instead there is a sincere, if naiive, emulation of the brevity and poignancy of greats like Ildjarn & Burzum. These pieces yield their content in increasingly esoteric fashion, starting off with The Seafarer, a fairly consonant and easily intelligible piece and peaking with the near-impenetrable The Great Beast. Though concieved long after the heyday of black metal, the pieces that make up Díolaim were nevertheless deeply impressed upon by the spirit of that brief musical epoch and reflect this in both aesthetic and purpose.
