Cailleach 11:53
When vernal sun reveals his face Battle is brewed by the wintry one To this land she lays waste Our vengeful mother summons the Winds... Cailleach! (winds) Whistle! Gobag! Sweeper! Leanness! What have you done? She will return! Hiya! Cailleach! Hiya! Cailleach!
2.
Mountain 09:01
Climb! Climb! As she walked she carried on her back A great basket filled with earth And as she leaped the rocks fell They formed the mountains They formed the islands Many have inhabited Spillings from the basket Of the big, old woman Yet one remains hers Ben Cruachan, Ben Cruachan She rouses the mountains of old Then drowses them under the snow She locked her sons inside mountains With crusted mineral Her kinsmen did battle Boulders merely play things

The Watcher 10:37
Ive been watching you from within the trees I am your gray skies I wait for you in your dreams Watching through dark eyes I see everything I wait for you in your dreams Watching through dark eyes Your soul is what I seek The object of my desire It will rise up in the smoke As your body burns in the fire Piercing through the dark What lies lurking in the trees Blood dripping from the leaves In the realms behind, below, and within you Piercing through the dark What lies lurking in the trees Ropes dangle in the breeze In the realms behind, below, and within you Piercing through the dark What lies lurking in the trees Dead linger in deep freeze In the realms behind, below, and within you I have called you from a dream From shadows dancing in between I have seen you as a child When your mind was wide and wild You grew strong and reached for things And you grew shamed from deserved sting I've been hearing you growing weary As life and love go rushing by I am the watcher I'm the nearest one to you Yet I'm the one you never knew I'm the thing you can not say Yet I am spoken anyway I am looking through your eyes And I am speaking when you lie I am with you when you hide And I will grip you when you die I am the watcher I see everything

Nessa 10:00
Goddess Beira once had a maid Her name was Nessa She was beautiful and young Goddess Beira once had a well And it happened every night That the water would overflow It was Nessa's one task Every night to cover the well But tonight she is late When she drew near she beheld Water raging down the mountain So she turned and ran for her life Run, oh Nessa! Run for your life oh Nessa! Run, oh Nessa! Run for your life oh Nessa! Run! But goddess Beira was watching From her mountain throne and cried "You have not covered the well! The sun has fallen from the sky and Daylight has turned to darkness And the water is overflowing! Now you must run forever From water that does not cease You are the river! You are the loch!" Now every year on this night Nessa rises from the water You can hear her sing a sad song Arise oh Nessa! Sing us your song oh Nessa! Arise oh Nessa! Sing us your song oh Nessa! Arise! Arise!

"After giving us a very promising demo, BEIRA have made good on their promise of a proper debut. Four savage tracks, each averaging more than 10 minutes (does this make it an LP or and EP? I always forget), the San Diego trio deliver big time, with Ruby Haynes laying down some seriously emotive doom riffs and epic vocals. There is some intriguing material here, like the second track "Mountain" that opens to a crackling fire and medieval sounding instrumentation, followed by a chant-line bass riff that really gives your the feeling that you're about to hear an epic tale of some kind. When Ruby tears into the song with her wild, untamed vocals, underscored by some heavy riffing that will remind you of High on Fire, we're introduced to the story, by this time fully invested. Doom at it's finest. Definitely one of the ‪#‎BestSoFar‬."

"Like Chrch, San Diego trio Beira also deal in doom metal. However, Beira’s sound harks back further in time to a more majestic era of doom. The band’s vocalist, guitarist and flautist, Ruby Haynes, takes her time building the tension with thick and muscular riffs and on the four tracks that comprise Beira’s Vol 1 release. And, while the rest of the band stomps along with abundant capability and energy, it’s Haynes voice––savagely tearing into passages here, or whispering more ethereally there––that’s going to keep you hooked."

"There are only four tracks on Beira's Vol. I, but it still runs well past the 40-minute mark. Indeed, these are pretty massive compositions, each one a slow-moving doom metal monolith with psychedelic overtones. They require a little patience on the part of the listener; "Cailleach" and "Mountain" each takes around 90 seconds or longer before finally wrapping up the intro. Yet once the band lets those riffs fly, Beira becomes a roaring beast, chugging with power and majesty. This gives me hope for the future of doom in San Diego."

"Twisted heavy beautiful sounds from San Diego's doom metal band Beira.
Volume 1
Empowering vocals with dark bass lines and haunting guitars. Stepping away from the hardcore yet still keeping it in the root of the family, the 3-piece band Beira is a band that has brought metal a new taste. Caught this band play a killer show at the Tower Bar and the trio sounded like they were playing at Carnegie Hall in 1891. Had the chance of sharing a beer and a great conversation about classic hardcore/metal and other thrashed influenced artist with bassist Kris Reynolds. Giving insight and a little backstory of Beira I was glad I stayed and watched this band perform. Reynolds is backed by drummer A.J Belluto and vocalist Ruby Haynes and together they bring a fucked up puzzle of a church. True enjoyment! Beira have an album out Volume 1 and it is jam packed with 40 minutes of pure dark heavy music. If you ever get a chance to watch the band please headbang with them. Beira is playing a show tonight 7.24.16 at Tower Bar and is highly recommenced to go. If not you can listen, purchase, and enjoy Volume 1 below via bandcamp ... have a seance with BEIRA MUSIC."
