Hailing from Brazil, Tuatha De Danann play music that is best described as Irish, and they do it rather well. They are similar to Mago De Oz but not quite so polished, which is a good thing really. They have their own unique style to bring to proceedings. Kicking of with a tuneful wail of pipes "The Dance of the Little Ones" sets the tone for the whole album, a rocking toe tapper. I defy anybody to sit still or refrain from singing along with the songs on offer. The next couple of songs continue in the same vein until midway through the next track "Tan Pinga Ra Tan" when things get a little bizarre with some weird chanting, before settling down again. Next up is "Finganfor" which deserves a mention as being the only song I've ever heard that made me laugh out loud when listening to it! In the middle there is the line "Let's go to the magic palace of Finganfor" sung in a crazy high pitched voice which is totally incongruous. Some of the lyrics are almost like children's nursery rhymes whilst others are very well done, it all adds to the overall fun feel of the album. Normality returns with the tale of "Vercingetorix", and the acoustic "Celtia" wouldn't be out of place on Led Zeppelin III. It's back to the nursery for the title track, which is very enjoyable nonetheless and another acoustic piece closes the album. Overall this is definitely a "feel good" album and fans of Celtic folk metal should definitely check it out.

Lyrics
The son of Centill now falls like the rain He tried to defend our precious land His name is Vercingetorix - The hero of all the Gaulish The king of higher truth Joining the tribe men, the force is gathered The ancient ones against Rome Beholding our wine Their chief was Caesar, the great man of the Empire We've invoked our ancient gods to lead the fight We are the warriors who followed the great man in the battle of Gergovia What will we do now? Our boss have been captured Please Taran help us to lead the battle From where we've passed we've burned the villages To finish their food and all their store But when we fought in Alesia The sky turn's to black - Oh Gods! They took our prince to the ugly empire What can we do? Oh Gods help us! The sky must fall down over our heads The sky must fall down over our heads Praised was our prince - the bravest man We are the warriors who followed the great man in the battle of Gergovia What are we going to do now? Our boss have been captured Please Taran help us to lead (win) the battle So he was taken to the empire Treated like a slave He had to give our swords to Caesar OH! Gods our dreams now turn to ashes What can we do? Our symbol of force is no longer But his memory is still in our hearts Let us unite the tribes again
