Cruachan was the capital of the Middle Ages Irish kingdom of Connacht. It is also an important site in Irish mythology.
Cruachan formed as a result of the disbandment of a previous band called Minas Tirith. They disbanded in mid-1997 but reformed in January 1999.
Cruachan's earlier works were more influenced by black metal. Since reforming they became more melodic, with Karen Gilligan joining as the lead vocalist for the recording of The Middle Kingdom in 2000. She was originally hired as a guest vocalist for a few songs, but joined full time when founding member Keith Fay decided he was unhappy with his own clean singing ability.
Keith Fay became the lead vocalist again following the departure of Karen Gilligan in 2008 and the band returned to a more extreme style of music. A session female vocalist joins the band on tour to sing Gilligan's parts.
John Ryan Will was originally hired as a replacement for John Fay, but has stayed with Cruachan despite the latter returning again in 2008.
Shane MacGowan, from the famous Irish folk rock band The Pogues, appeared on Cruachan's single "Ride On" from 2001.
Mauro Frison and John O'Fathaigh have appeared as extras in the historical television series Vikings.
