Suidakra are a band from Germany that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording shows their early mixture of folk, black and melodic death emtal and this is a review of their 1997 album "Lupine Essence" which will be re-issued in November by MDD Records.
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the album while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. Clean pagan vocals are also a very huge part of the recording along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody.
Grim black metal screams are also used on a regular basis while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. When synths are utilized they also give the songs more of an epic atmosphere along with some clean playing also being added into certain sections of the recording.
One track also introduces female vocals in the music along with some death metal growls also being utilized at times. When acoustic guitar's are utilized they also add in some folk elements into the music as well as some tremolo picking also being added in some of the faster riffing, throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and they also bring in some more modern versions of the songs as bonus tracks. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Celtic Mythology and Fantasy themes.
In my opinion this was a very great sounding recording from Suidakra and if you are a fan of folk, black and melodic death metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Banshee" "Sheltering Dreams" and "Internal Epidemic". 8 out of 10.
