Acclaimed Irish band Lankum are reissuing their classic album Cold Old Fire to mark the project's 10th anniversary.

The band posted on Instagram yesterday, saying: "It's been a long journey since we went into the Irish Traditional Music Archive to record this album, and our music has progressed a huge amount, but we are still immensely proud of the tracks we put together for this one."

They've released vinyl and CD bundle options through their website, which include badges and stickers.

Cold Old Fire, released in 2014, features beloved tracks such as 'The Old Man From Over the Sea', as well as the classic title track, which has garnered over one million Spotify streams.

Hailing from Dublin, the group initially consisted of the two Lynch brothers, Ian and Daragh. They were later joined by current band members Cormac MacDiarmada and Radie Peat.

Cold Old Fire was released when the band were still known as Lynched. They changed their name to Lankum – taken from the ballad 'False Lankum' – in 2016.

The four-piece are two-time winners of Irish Album of the Year at the Choice Music Prize – for 2023's False Lankum and 2019's The Livelong Day. They have also scored nominations for the Mercury Prize and the Ivor Novello Awards.

You can find Cold Old Fire bundles through Lankum's online shop here.
