“Serundal The Sisters of Caer tripping cool,a mysterious and with an interesting mythical storyline. works off that underpinning of a one tone quality with a beautiful melody. vocals and harmonies very captivating added to station 8/8/2012 5:00:24 PM”

“Once again the talented and historically knowledgeable Serundal have come up trumps with this expressive and descriptive album of nu-celtic folk music. Staying as true to legend as is possible, Serundal tell tales of exactly what it says on the cover, 'Dark Days White Knights'! Serundal have a knack of being able to capture 'time' within their stunning theatrical music; 'Dark Days White Knights' is 'traditional' folk music delivered through modern means and with complete understanding of both the ancient 'form' and current requirements.”

“Take me down to where the gypsies sing Alicia H ... Someone on Last.fm pointed me towards Serundal, a folk-rock husband and wife duo. considering that my library is full of people like Richard and Mimi Farina and Linda Thompson and Blackmore's Night (Richie Blackmore and Candic Night), It was a very wise recommendation. My first impression of the pair was that they were a bit of a calmer Blackmore's Night. However, listening to them a bit more has shown me that, while Blackmore and his wife are firmly on the renaissance side of folk-rock divide, Serundal are more New Age Celtic and folky. Of the songs I've listened to the one I like the most is Lament. This song reminds me of Barbara Simple's Song of the Unborn, which has entranced me over the past few months.”

“ 'Serundal' Lady of the Isles- I will begin by saying up front and out loud - this is one of the most beautiful songs and melodies that one could possibly find to end the day with, which is what I am doing here in the midnight hour gathering rosebuds of music for one or two or more of my stations here at IAC. Thank you Serundal for pointing me in the direction of your Artists Page where I found your beautiful crusading lover's ballad ... lilting, cantillating and monastic-like vocals calling back and forth gives this a mediaeval and romantic feeling that whisks one away on a magical, mystical journey, back to a place in legendary times where a grieving damsel awaits the return of her lover from a distant campaign. A celtic gem ... poignant songwriting, arrangement and production ... welcome to Legendary Music.”

“ Serundal Lady of the Isles One of those great songs about a lost love... added to station ”

“ Serundal have done a bloody good job with 'Leylines' - their story telling prequel to the trilogy is magnificent and as a stand-alone work it's equally as compelling and works just as it is. I don't know how long Serundal have taken to get this far but 'Leylines' feels as though an awful lot of heart and soul has been put into it; it's beautifully polished, it's maturely composed and performed, it's thoroughly entertaining and extremely enjoyable. Serundal should be very proud of what they've achieved here. I really hope 'Leylines' does its job and Serundal can get their trilogy out there and accepted - it thoroughly deserves to be successful. 'Leylines' is a splendid piece of work and bodes well for the second and third release in their epic aural adventure. Great work, beautiful to behold, remarkably assured and relaxingly tantalising”

— Pete Brown, toxic pete reviews

“'Ab Initi' is a pleasure to behold; just let it wrap itself around your person, breath in its intoxicating soundscapes, access the magical world of Serundal, sit back and enjoy this for exactly what it is - a beautifully composed and performed piece of lightly Celtic nu-folk - quality through and through - hypnotic, heady and just great entertainment. Impressive stuff from an equally impressive duo - Serundal and 'Ab Initi' could just take over where Clannad left off! ”
