Rún – Strike It

As previously announced, Irish trio Rún's are releasing their self-titled debut album on Rocket on 22 August.
Rún is the collaboration of Tara Baoth Mooney, Diarmuid MacDiarmada, and Rian Trench – a trio of acclaimed musicians known across Ireland and beyond.
Rún follow the release of thunderous first single, 'Terror Moon' with the strident and primal crie de coeur of ‘Strike It’ – watch the band made video for the track here:
The Irish word Rún can mean secret, mystery, or love, or perhaps some elusive combination of the three, reflecting the many aspects of life that defy easy explanation. In wrestling with these, it can become necessary to commit oneself entirely, to jump in at the psychic deep end in search of the vibrations and feelings at hand. This is where the band Rún come in.
The debut album of Rún – the result of three powerful artists locking horns and bringing equally passionate and uncompromising approaches to bear – is no less than an extraordinary collective catharsis. Yet more evidence that true heaviness is about much more than a cranked amp. It’s an emotionally driven and richly atmospheric journey into the darkest recesses of states earthly and unearthly, from a spiritually intrepid outfit who alchemise experimental methods and improvisatory states to reach intimidating heights of sonic and psychic intensity.
