Suidakra tour dates
German melodic folk/death metallers SUIDAKRA have added three headlining shows in California to their North American itinerary. The group's schedule is now as follows:
March 08 - New York, NY - B.B. King Blues Club & Grill *
March 10 - Montreal, QC - Les Foufounes Electriques *
March 13 - Toronto, ON - Wreck Room *
March 14 - Chicago, IL - Bottom Lounge *
March 15 - San Fransisco, CA - Thee Parkside (headlining)
March 17 - Austin, TX - Red 7 / SXSW *
March 19 - Los Angeles, CA - Ultra Violet (headlining)
March 20 - Ramona, CA - Ramona Mainstage (headlining)
* Supporting ORPHANED LAND
SUIDAKRA's ninth album, "Crógacht", was released in the U.S. in March 2009 through Wacken Records/SPV.
Over its 16-year history, SUIDAKRA has stayed true to its roots and the sound that it has become known for. Combining fast melodic death metal, Irish folk music, and a torrent of harmonies, SUIDAKRA proves yet again that it possesses the ability to blend several different influences into its unique sound. To put a spin on things, new elements have been introduced, like traditional instruments (bagpipes, banjo, tin whistles), a sixteen member choir and epic orchestral arrangements.
Recorded at Gernart Studios with producer Martin Muchwalter, "Crógacht" delivers an aural assault. In addition to that, the eyes and mind of the listener will also be pleased, as famous Belgian graphic artists Kris Verwimp is responsible not only for the magnificent artwork in the digipack and 16-page booklet, but also for the lyrics of this fascinating concept album. "Crógacht", meaning bravery, is based on one of the most dramatic tales in Irish mythology. It tells the story of the hero Cuchulainn's epic journey to the Isle of Skye, where he seeks to learn the arts of war from the Scythian warrior woman Scathach. The decisions he then has to make set the events in motion that will lead up to his son Conlaoch's tragic fate…
