May the Blood of Many a Valiant Knight be Avenged

Limited re-issue of the band’s third album, thematically based on the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
THE SOIL BLEEDS BLACKs third album explores the early experimentation with authentic instruments, incorporating percussion, guitar and various woodwinds and whistles.
Immaturely conceived, the album maintains a farcical and theatrical approach projecting its own entertaining and enchanting character. Includes four bonus tracks including a rendering of the celebrated Irish folk song, The March of Brian Boru.
