"Sell out warning! Trad-drone-metal mesmerism from the Lankum fold! One Leg One Eye are to the uilleann pipes what Sunn O))) are to guitars - rewriting the history of the instrument in expansive, infinite landscapes of heaviness. Nightmares await FFO: Hilary Woods, Swans, Quade, Keeley Forsyth, Phurpa."

ONE LEG ONE EYE
One Leg One Eye is the project of Ian Lynch (founding member of Irish group Lankum) and George Brennan (BB84, Melodica Deathship, Cholera House, Deep Burial). Musically they explore submerged leylines of music and song, drawing on the raw aesthetics of black metal, noise and drone, while also being deeply embued with a sense of history and myth.
CRONE (released via AD 93) is the second album from Lynch and Brennan, following on from 2022’s slowburn slab of ambient grit, …And Take The Black Worm With Me. Bewildering, psychedelic and ultimately transcendental, the four tracks of One Leg One Eye’s CRONE shapeshift and morph endlessly in a coarse miasma. Traditional song structures and vocal melody are eschewed, instead the trio directly channel energies from the rich seams of mythological significance submerged below the Irish psyche. The anger, rage and beauty of the sovereignty goddess burn a consistent and deliberate line through the album in the form of obscure incantations and dire pronouncements, the gnarled sinews that bind it all together.
