History


Mael Mórdha was formed in January 1998 by Roibéard Ó Bogail. On the strength of the band’s last two E.P.s, Caoineadh na nGael and Cluain Tarbh E.P. the band was signed to Dutch label Karmageddon Media who released the band’s debut album, Cluain Tarbh on the September 12, 2005. An alternative recording of the album title track was released on a limited edition 7 inch vinyl split with their fellow Irishmen Primordial, through Sentinel Records in the winter of 2005.
Due to severe internal problems within Karmageddon and a lack of availability of the album, the band left the label and signed to Grau Records in Germany in Februaury 2006. Gealtacht Mael Mórdha is the band's first album to be released through Grau Records. It was released on March 19, 2007.
Well known in the Irish Metal scene, the band have played the Abbeyleix Metalfest, The Day Of Darkness (twice), as well as Bloodstock metal festival (England).
Controversially, the band entered the Irish leg of the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 in late 2004 with the aim of entering the finals held in Kiev, Ukraine in 2005. On January 20, 2006 they played at the Heathen Crusade II festival in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, and the well known "Doom Shall Rise" festival in Göppingen, Germany in 2007.
