The northern Portuguese Sangre Cavallum with outstanding folk album. "Veleno de Teixo" (Yew Poison) is a collection of tributes to women and to the cult of mother-goddess in pre-Christian era. "Veleno de Teixo" contains 16 powerful songs between pagan folk and power-psych atmospheres. Inspired by the music and ethnography of their homeland Callaecia / northern Portugal. It is laboriously produced, capturing the revolutionary minds of these musicians. Among many traditional instruments they play the hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, flutes, folkloric guitars, war-drums and many times these acoustic instruments are transformed with heavy distortions and meet the psychedelic bass and vintage guitars. "Veleno de Teixo" is a pleasing example of how tradition is a living thing when folklore meets folk rock or dark industrial music.
