The second album by the leading Celtic rock band in North America, Seven Nations, Old Ground finds the band beginning to develop its identity with a combination of pumped-up traditional Scottish tunes and bagpipe-laden rock written by frontman Kirk McLeod. The rock songs, especially Scream and God, are still part of their concert repetoire.
By this time (1995) 7N had acquired a drummer, Nick Watson, who would later depart for the band Celtic Soul.
