This evening I'm very excited to be able to premiere the newest single from Newcastle heavy metallers Culloden. 'Lords Of A Lawless Land' has been officially released today and I'd like to thank Andrew, and the band for allowing me to share it.
The song is based on stories about a group of raiders called the Border Reivers, who roamed around the Anglo-Scottish borders in medieval times. To help tell this tale, Culloden have drawn inspiration from traditional heavy metal bands like Saxon, as well as heavier bands from the same era including Bathory and Venom.
The premiere is live to stream via my YouTube channel below:-
My first impression of the song is very positive. It's got both melody and genuine bite, as you'd expect from a heavy metal band. The North East is a bit of a hot bed for the traditional end of the metal spectrum and Culloden pull it off really well. It's also refreshing to hear a band taking lyrical inspiration from historic events that took place closer to their home.
I hope you'll join me in championing another fine band from the UK.
