WAYLANDER’s video for ‘Hy Brasil (Isle of Mists)’ offers a look at Mac Tíre – Son of the Land, the Northern Irish band’s forthcoming album. The nine-track release arrives November 6, 2026, through Rockshots Records. The announcement also includes a music video for the single ‘Macha’.
The album draws on Ireland’s landscapes, mythology and cultural heritage. Those connections run through its songs, although Mac Tíre – Son of the Land does not follow the concept-album approach of its predecessor, Ériú’s Wheel.
Its title expresses that relationship with the land: ‘Mac Tíre’ literally means ‘son of the land’ and is the Irish term for the wolf. The announcement connects the animal with Ireland’s natural past, placing the title within the record’s broader interest in the land and its stories.
Musically, WAYLANDER retain their combination of extreme metal, traditional Irish instrumentation and Pagan themes. The new material continues that balance between metal aggression and traditional elements, developing the sound the band has pursued since the early 1990s.
More than three decades after forming in Northern Ireland, WAYLANDER carry those musical and thematic connections into the new nine-song record, with ‘Hy Brasil (Isle of Mists)’ and ‘Macha’ presented as its video singles.
