    Metal Temple.com 10/10 – Masterpiece! - Having special guests that are known as Martin Walkyier (the founder of SKYCLAD and the godfather of Folk/Pagan Metal) on the vocals on “Your Wall Shall Fall” (an aggressive song, with excellent Folk elements in the middle of the guitar riffs), NERVOSA’s singer Fernanda Lira on the vocals of “Tan Pinga Ra Tan” (a classic song of their first album that here is in an introspective and orchestral version), the EP is amazing. Along with these two above, the other best ones: “The Tribes of Witching Souls” (that is a song in the traditional way of the band, bearing a fine mix between Heavy/Power Metal melodies with Folk/Celtic elements), the modern energy of “Turn”, and the introspective and charming “Warrior Queen”. And as bonus tracks, the Demo versions for “Rhymes Against Humanity” (that is from 2004) and the instrumental form of “The Tribes of Witching Souls”.

Once I thought of faeries Singing to their praise Hunting traces and signs Mad about the chase Why are you still denying Magic all around!? As if by only numbers Mankindsort this out We need a little bit of magic now We do, there's more beyond this draft Once I sang of gnomes And dwarves, it last for years I also sang of Mother Nature and her tears Some said I should have sang about the world disordes As others cursed my songs as silly and bother Oh, I know we need a huge amount of magic now There's more beyond this draft Turn off this phone and mind Relax and float downstream Leave all these veils behind Wake up, you still have time To live this glimpse of love You come with me! We danced the jigs and reels We loved over the fields Suspiciously you once said Yes, we let you in Beyond the mist we live And sometimes underground We keep in love resisting Such opressive shroud I know we need a little bake of magic now There's more beyond this draft You, you come close And believe cos through this song We reach the truth Let it go, bring your seeds, we still have time To make it bloom! It's time for us to do You do join and Live and let live It's time to sing the tune Your last chance to join The tribes of witching souls I told you about a giant And a faerie dream And yet I told you about the Gallant lover of the queen Look out there's walls and foes There's morals upside down They draw a line and Try to set you all around Come, give this ride a chance, I guarantee you joy And then I'll show you more You, you come close And believe cos through this song We reach the truth Bring your voice and your dreams, we still have time To make it bloom! It's time for us to do Come along and Live and let live It's time to sing the tune Your last chance to join The tribes of witching souls You, you come close And believe cos through this song We reach the truth Bring your voice and your dreams, we still have time To make it bloom! You, you come close And believe cos through this song We reach the truth Bring your voice and your dreams, we still have time To make it bloom! It's time for us to do Come on along Live and let live It's time to sing the tune Your last chance to join The tribes of witching souls We leave at dawn Then, nevermore We'll lock the door Bye!

This life's been a canvas, blank and white It's up to you to Fill and paint it whith colours you like No one but you Should I tryit harder, shoundn't I? It's quite annoying Bringing things out of nowhere, you lie We have the tools, We'll fix it now Turn this dammed world upside down We have the stones, the bricks and rocks, build new bridges off the walls Have you ever looked back? Have you tried? I bet you haven't Greedy, eager, blind you kept the ride Ignore the cost Mournful cries the womb of old mother earth She is weeping so, she is burning cold She whoonce puked gold withers fast and hard What is it you fight for!? You tell me I wonder what is happening to all mankind Dive into your mind - find out what its like Why it walks towards selfishness and lies Can't you see - the whole picture? Cant' you wake up from this insane behaviour You, wake up open your eyes

Brave she rides amongst men Leading troops with Rage and Pride Facing Sufering, Death and Blood She is the fearlees Queen, almighty. Fierce and wise she moves throughout the fields... the horde she inspires. She Brings out the best the men have Yet she embodies lust, desire. She makes all men shiver, at the whisper of her name, Even Cesars would think twice to face her powerful bright flame. It's been told by folks from here and there the gods protect her flesh. Let the Queen return from battle, bringing out our victory.

Break your shackles – take a side. Raise your voices far and wide. “Damned are ye who would divide. Free peoples should stand unified!” Hey you my fellow humans, Two things we know for sure; We cohabit this frail planet, Where for death there's yet no cure. Still we fight like rabid vermin in our cage. Race and creed they matter not. Red we all bleed – our earthly lot. How do billionaires dare sleep, When children hunger – scared to weep? Betrayed by paranoia, greed and rage. Temples praising tyranny, Built on the backs of slaves. Bloodshed, tears and misery; A vast expanse of unmarked graves. Towers of the powerful, Now crumble unto sand. Great dictators humbled; The meek reclaim their land. A distant thunder rumbles, The roar of freedom's call. Let love be a wrecking-ball. YOUR WALL SHALL FALL! We've overstayed our welcome, Seems our shelf-life has expired. In our bunkers we shall hunker, When the planet screams “You're fired!” Still we fight like rabid vermin in our cage. Everest-sized asteroids, Come tumbling through space. Dumping 50 trillion gigatonnes, Of judgement in our face. Only then maybe we'll realise, That we're just one mother-loving race? Future teachers speak, Of all the follies we're commanding. Our descendants war for water, Huddled underneath the last tree standing. Towers of the powerful, Now crumble unto sand. Great dictators humbled; The meek reclaim their land. A distant thunder rumbles, The roar of freedom's call. Let love be a wrecking-ball. YOUR WALL SHALL FALL! Break your shackles – take a side. Raise your voices far and wide. “Damned are ye who would divide. Free peoples should stand unified!” Jesus Christ came back today. They banned Him from the U.S.A. Nailed Him high lest He proclaim, “Make Pachamama Great Again!” Towers of the powerful, Now crumble unto sand. Great dictators humbled; The meek reclaim their land. A distant thunder rumbles, The roar of freedom's call. Let love be a wrecking-ball. YOUR WALL SHALL FALL! Impotent erections wither, Flaccid to the ground. Face your own reflection, When the Seven Trumpets sound? May corruption meet destruction; Washed-away by truth profound. Love is the key to free us all. YOUR WALL SHALL FALL!

Conjura 04:43
In this village breeds conspiracy, There are strange movements in the streets. In the church, in brothels, on the bridges, They are cursing the oversea Queen. Mouth by Mouth and ear by ear it spreads, Uprising, sedition... The dream - to bring this realm down, and break the chains, crack the shakles- our liberty They are farmers, priests, and militarians.... Some are poets, all man of pride. They´re aware of the risks and the punishments They should pay with life, for their crimes. Opulence no more, the mines were dry No more gold, neither diamonds or wealth. What was left behind was Queens appetite, T'was insatiable, rude and selfish. Broken bones was a penalty for some, The gallows the fate of others. But despite of it all grew the movement, The liberty´s project rising! Set this land free from Portugal- Spread the rumours, there will be fight! Riots, rebellion- Empire´s Fall - the dream of one Bravest amongst all, the daring knight who enticed the crowd Freedom albeit Late! For us for all! Unexpected visit on the palace, A traitor reports all the scheme. A suspicious governor and his tricks Pretends to be shocked, but relieved. Persecution, torture & exile. Forgiveness to all, but one... Who´s sentenced to be hanged, then dismembered Even so, faced his fate with pride. Set this land free from Portugal- Spread the rumours, there will be fight! Riots, rebellion- Empire´s Fall - the dream of one Bravest amongst all, the daring knight who enticed the crowd Freedom albeit Late! For us for all!

Outcry 04:25
Born among the green leaves This forest was our home For countless generations It's where we've learned and grown Our elders taught us how to live As theirs have done before To never take more than we give It's the heart of nature's law Creatures of the jungle were our guide We walk with the old gods side by side The spirits of our ancestors defamed Trees cut down, our village set aflame Upon that fateful day The hateful gringos came To desecrate this land Brought slavery and shame Our arrows were no match For fire-sticks & sword They smelt our gold to crucifixes proclaim Jesus lord! 500 Years have passed and now I ask you what has changed? 2 Owns the wealth the rest still starve estranged Chainsaws replace the axes And the dollars treasures old We're still watching all this holy ground Been raped, stolen & sold Pride and territory were deprived It feels sometimes like our gods have died The time has come to stand up for your rights Children of this holy land now raise your spears and fight Upon that hateful day The gringo bankers came They crucified you all Pure profit was their aim To them this sacred land Has just financial worth They gain their strangle-hold on the pure lungs of Mother earth! All around the planet There's still tribes who realize That these lands are their domain Do you think these guys are right? From gold to wood they raped us No trust nor dignity it's our turn to roll the dice We, the children of the green

Give me your hands- please leave here your fears Let's fly away cause the past await us Forget your name and open your eyes The magic is done Here in the woods the elves dance and sing Sing to the birds from the moon and the trees They were your friends- great friends you've forgotten They dwell in your dreams Try to believe the magic is real- Look around you So run in the fields- Dance with the fairies And forget your rules- Welcome to our land Tan Pinga Rá tan- Tan Pinga Rá tan Tan Pinga Rá Tan -Pinga rá Tan Wonderful pleasures awaiting you here in our gorgeous land The dwarves hand by hand fairies calling for you Come with us- Let's drink the magic poison our treasure Your mind will open- you'll never be the same Come here, dear friend, come to pinga ra tan... (10x) This magical land we hide will be your sweet paradise Come to Tan pinga ra tan unite with the charmed ones

about

Tuatha de Danann is a remarkable band that play for the sake of fun and to create a nice, enjoyable and accessible sound which very interest elements like the inclusion of that many guitar solos and folky instruments. (metal-archives.com)

The purpose of the band was to mix styles, to create music which wasn’t be done before. Heavy metal, Celtic and Medieval music… Overall, Tribe of Witching Souls is a great album. (folkmetal.nl)

Tuatha De Danann have thrived (even played Wacken), borrowing the Celtic folk ethos (and sound). Banjo, tin/penny whistles, bouzouki, bodhrán and lilting jigs, backed by electrified rock instrumentation is an infectious mix. Think a full album of Blind Guardian's “Bard Song”, sung by The Chieftains… (bravewords.com)

MASTERPIECE! Yes, TUATHA DE DANAAN shows on “Tribes of the Witching Souls” that they still have place in Metal world, that their work is unique, and that Metalheads can trust on their name. (metal-temple.com)
