One Leg One Eye is the project of Ian Lynch (founding member of Irish group Lankum) and George Brennan (BB84, Melodica Deathship, Cholera House, Deep Burial). Musically they explore submerged leylines of music and song, drawing on the raw aesthetics of black metal, noise and drone, while also being deeply embued with a sense of history and myth.

Debut album …And Take The Black Worm With Me (released on Nyahh Records in 2022) is a slow burning suite of five expansive songscapes that has found its audience largely by word of mouth. Partly recorded in an abandoned Dublin factory where his father worked when he was a child, Lynch’s harrowing vocals are underpinned by vast pillars of uileann pipe drones, overlaid with effects and field recordings to conjure up a sound that is at once dark, mysterious and ultimately transcendental.

Press:

“Pulsing atmospheres of melancholy and menace… the mood often feels immersive and monumental, but there is powerful intimacy too.”
The Guardian, *****

“Evolves from the dreadful, overwhelmingly bleak drone of its opener, ‘Glistening, She Emerges’, to a closer called ‘Only The Diceys’ that, though hardly uplifting with its warped arpeggios and twisted country twang, bestows at a firm sense of stillness, resolution, and perhaps even hope.”
The Quietus

“While …And Take The Black Worm With Me is not for the faint of heart, it is certainly worth taking the plunge: its immense depths are as emotional as they are musical and conceal a haunting beauty.”
KLOF Mag

“It sends shivers through the packed-out crowd, who stay completely absorbed in the otherworldly worship.”
