Two years later, the talented Scot is back with his sophomore opus, Traverse The Bealach, which he describes as follows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'When I started the Sgàile project in 2018, and through the writing and recording of Ideals \u0026amp; Morality, I wasn't sure that anyone would take to the style, or even care. This time around I knew I had a small audience that enjoyed what I was doing so I felt free to create from pure instinct.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith that freedom came focus and direction, which led me to create a concept album, a venture that I had never previously attempted. What this did was create a driven narrative that brought a maturity to the Sgàile sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough the recording process, there was a feeling of refinement, taking the lessons I learned from Ideals \u0026amp; Morality and carefully honing them to improve the overall production. Working with Mike Lamb (Sojourner, Remina) for a second time really helped to pin down the sonic quality that I was looking for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story of Traverse The Bealach is that of a nomadic traveller in post-apocalyptic Scotland, trying to figure out his fate and facing the elements while travelling north, battling inner demons along the way. Thematically, the inspiration came from the events of the pandemic, our ongoing battle with climate change, and my fascination with long distance trekking.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSgàile's new studio album will be out on CD on January 19th, 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsalms To Shout At The Void\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLamentations By The Lochan\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Ptarmigans Cry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntrospect\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSilence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Brocken Spectre\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEntangled In The Light\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e AVANTGARDE MUSIC\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\/31\/24\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 301660563486\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"AVANTGARDE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44208390799609,"sku":"AV490CD","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/products\/AV490CD.jpg?v=1709042436","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/sgaile-traverse-the-bealach-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
