Suidakra - Crogacht (2009)

About ten years ago, I got Suidakra's Auld Lang Syne in an eBay lot. I thought it was okay, but it never really got much play in my CD player, and I promptly forgot about the band. So this weekend, when a friend of mine offered to let me borrow his copy of their latest offering, I was curious to hear how they'd progressed. Sadly, I didn't hear much on this offering to interest me either. Really, this is pretty standard folk-influenced melodic death metal. There are a lot of bands doing this style, and Suidakra are certainly compentent at it (after 10+ years, I'd hope so!). But to be honest, I've never understood how happy folk melodies fit into death metal, so perhaps I'm not the right audience for this.

Their MySpace page has some songs from their previous albums, which sound a lot like their latest.
