From Bandcamp, "Following the debut album "an Gorta Mór" which focused on the great famine in Ireland, OLDE THRONE return with their sophomore release which steps away from Ireland and takes place in the land of ghosts... Scotland. "In the Land of Ghosts" is a collection of ghost stories and dark tales from a land bountiful of ghosts and ghouls. From the headless horseman of the House of Dun to the ghost soldiers still fighting in the wooded gorge of Killiecrankie." The album has eight songs.

"House of Dun" is the first. Winds howl and an ominous bell rings. The riff and vocals come in, and it's pretty standard Black Metal, with overly treble production, harsh vocal screams, and a wall of sound. "Skara Brae" is more aggressive out of the gate. It settles into a slower groove of hopelessness and desperation. The clean passage brings an addition of melody with it. "Isobel" begins with folk instruments in a jovial jaunt. Isobel is the Scottish form of the female given name Isabel. It's has carefully crafted moves, taking a step away from the thick Black Metal sound of previous tracks.

"Cliffs of Culzean" begins with traditional bagpipes and the soft sounds of water coming to shore. I wish that they would let this sound ride out longer, but it was replaced by traditional Black Metal sounds pretty quickly. "Duntulm" is a more depressing and slower song, with a bit more solid rhythm section. When the band allows these passages to develop, they are quite pleasing. Duntulm Castle stands ruined on the north coast of Trotternish, on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, near the hamlet of Duntulm. During the 17th century it was the seat of the chiefs of Clan MacDonald of Sleat. "Greyfriars Kirkyard" is a more traditional Black Metal song. The guitar work is fairly intricate, and the clean passage reminds me of the constant struggle of the Scots.

"Killiecrankie" closes the album. The mix of folk elements with Black Metal makes for a memorable closer. As the song continues, you get a sense of the sad but prideful living that the Scots had to make as people. It's quite inspiring. Overall, this album had some real promise outside of the typical Black Metal sound with the addition of Scottish themes and instruments, like bagpipes and recorder. I personally feel that the band could have used more of them however, in order to separate themselves from many other bands in the genre.
