The Well of Despair

The Well of Despair is the debut album from Irish doom/death-doom band Nuadhán, released in 1993 via Candlebra Records. The album features the original drummer and keyboardist/violinist Páegh O'Cáoeth and Abigáil Gáth. The title and artwork was elaborated on by Brian O'Coughney: "The name of this album means you are so despairing and destroyed that you seek solace, but never find it. The art shows utter desolation, and that is what it feels to be in a well of despair". The artwork is done by Brian's wife Julia.
