          Notes:


          Cruachan is a heavy metal band from Dublin, Ireland
          that has been active since the 1990s. They have been
          acclaimed as having "gone the greatest lengths of
          anyone in their attempts to expand" the genre of
          folk metal. They are recognised as one of the
          founders of the genre of folk metal. With a specific
          focus on Celtic music and the use of Celtic
          mythology in their lyrics, Cruachan's style of folk
          metal is known as Celtic metal. The band named
          themselves after the archaeological site of
          Rathcroghan in Ireland also known as Cruachan.
