Acclaimed Irish trio Chasing Abbey have announced details of their new album CYBER CELT and released lead single “Seachain.” CYBER CELT will be released on September 18 and is available to pre-order on limited edition coloured vinyl, black vinyl and on CD from www.chasingabbey.ie.

From Tullamore in central Ireland, Chasing Abbey have spent a decade building a strong following both in Ireland and internationally, earning awards and multiple platinum records at home while selling-out world tours and reaching a million followers online. Meaning 'watch out' in their native Irish language, “Seachain” is inspired by this generations exposure to war crimes and genocide. “Never before have so many people consumed so much trauma and this song is a reminder to watch out and never allow evil to be normalized,” comment Chasing Abbey.

Speaking about the album the band state: “CYBER CELT represents both a subtle description of the music and a philosophy we hold. The coming together of ancient and modern. A soulful respect for the tradition with a burning desire for innovation.”

Reflecting their ground breaking fusion of electronic production and Celtic influences, in particular Irish traditional music, this release positions the band at the forefront of the Irish cultural revival amongst peers such as Kneecap, Lankum and Madra Salach, and sees them using this beautiful ancient language to deliver their lyrics with maximum weight. Working entirely in-house, they write, record, produce, and mix their own music, as well as create the visuals that accompany each release.

Their live show is just as much a spiritual awakening as it is a concert performance - soaring energy mixed with a message of unity and social justice drives home the feeling that this is not just a show, this is a movement which Chasing Abbey are leading internationally.
