Germany's Suidakra have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a melodic mixture of black, death and Celtic folk metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Darkanakrad" which was released by MDD Records.
Dark soundscapes and acoustic guitars start off the album while also bringing in elements of folk music which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Spoken word parts can also be heard on a few tracks along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with some back up shouts also being utilized at times and clear pagan vocals are also added into certain sections of the album.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, female vocals can also be heard briefly and tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the faster riffing, one song is an instrumental also adds in a small amount of folk instruments and they close the album with an At The Gates medley. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Celtic Mythology and Fantasy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Suidakra and if you are a fan of melodic black, death and folk metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "As Heroes Abide" "A Tainted Dominion" and "The Last Guardian". 8 out of 10.
