Fails notability guidelines - sources currently on the article don't show notability, and I was unable to find any reliable sources to incorporate. RTÉ.ie ref just shows one of their tracks was played on the radio in 2015, 'irishmetalarchive' just shows track listing for one of their albums, and 'DGrecords' is their label's website. Two music videos on Youtube aren't reliable sources. Sole coverage is an album review from 'Metalireland' here, which appears to be reliable, but one source doesn't show notability, and it's about the album, not the band itself.

Delete. I might be overlooking something, but in terms of WP:NBAND, the group doesn't appear to have charted anywhere (certainly not in the Irish charts), has not received any awards to speak of, and doesn't appear to have released "[,ultiple] albums on a major record label". In terms of WP:SIGCOV/WP:GNG, all I can find are passing mentions in main stream national news sources (like the Irish Times) and no coverage in music sources (like Hotpress Magazine - which ordinarily covers every album launch, single release or republished piece of PR that even less-notable bands might throw out into the world). I might be overlooking something, but I do not see where or how any of the relevant criteria are met. Guliolopez (talk) 15:41, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - They have a cool name but after four albums they simply haven't attracted any significant and reliable coverage. They are only visible in the typical industry directories and retail/streaming sites. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:56, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
