Suidakra
was formed back in 1994 but at that time they called themselves Gloryfication,
but after two demos they changed their name to Suidakra.
I
must admit that I’m not a huge fan of their music… actually I
find them quite boring, however this brand new release called “
Caledonia
” is the best music I have ever heard from them.
But
they are still not above average in my opinion. Somehow their
thrashy Melodic Death Metal with Pagan/Folk influences doesn’t
seem to hit me just where it should. Every time I listen to this
album I find myself drifting away… away to a distant planet,
light-years away from this album. Not that I totally dislike it, but
I find it a tad confusing.
They
alternate between many different styles… from Folk, Thrash to
Melodic Death Metal and they are quite good when it comes to the
Pagan/Folk influences but when they put the pedal to the metal and
Thrash like there is no tomorrow I lose interest in their music.
-
Maybe they should skip the Metal in their music and become a
Folk-band? :)
The
rough vocals also seem to get at tad on my nerves… but the
delivery of all the instruments is solid enough but still I find
myself wishing for more. I just don’t find most of the tracks
memorable enough.
Most
people seem to like Suidakra
so maybe I’m the only one on this planet who finds them a tad
boring? I really don’t know… but do check them out and I’m
sure that fans of Suidakra will
dig this one.
Sadly
it does not much for me.
