After overcoming some line-up changes, the band 's sophomore album, "The Light, the Dark and the Endless Knot" was released in 2001. In 2008, Waylander signed to Listenable Records and released their acclaimed third album, "Honour Amongst Chaos", which received a fantastic reaction worldwide. This set the tone for their fourth studio release, "Kindred Spirits". "Kindred Spirits" is claimed to be the bands strongest work to date and helped push the band's sound to a much heavier and more distinctive place. The band once again entered Stone Circle studios, recording their 5th full-length album entitled "Ériú's Wheel". This is Waylander's first concept album which will bring the listener on a journey through the wheel of the Pagan year, beginning at Samhain and ending at the Autumn Equinox. The 9 compositions will encapsulate the atmosphere of the changing seasons as well as the celebrationary, yet solemn, vibe of the four fire festivals, solstices and equinox. With a new album under their belt, the band are set to make 2019 their biggest to date.
