(New York, NY) -- March 7, 2005 -- NY's Most Insane Celtic Rock Band FATHOM has announced the March 17, 2005 release date of their upcoming third album entitled "Celtic Rocks" in an internet press conference earlier today.
"Celtic Rocks" is a fourteen-song collection of both original and traditional Irish instrumentals with Fathom's signature and technically intricate, hard rock Celtic sound. The fourteen track album was self-produced entirely by the band and recorded over a one year period. Uilleann Piper Danny McLaughlin also makes a return guest appearance to Fathom, lending his talents to several tracks.
Gracing the cover of the album is fantasy artwork by famed artist Ken Kelly, who is known for his world-renowned album covers of "Destroyer" and "Love Gun" for Kiss, "Rainbow Rising" for Rainbow, and album covers for Manowar. The cover depicts a Celtic Warrior on horseback striking down upon his adversaries with a giant mandolin: an appropriate visual to compliment the warlike, frenzied sound of this new record.
The release of "Celtic Rocks" coincides with an aggressive tour schedule and marketing campaign involving a multitude of concert, radio and parade appearances. Fathom will also host and perform an intimate CD release party on Saturday, March 19, 2005 in their hometown at O'Reilly's Pub located in Oakdale, NY. Complete details of this event and other scheduled concerts are listed on The Official Website of Fathom at http://www.fathom.tv
