Back to the roots?! Exactly 30 years to the month after the band was founded, German melodic/Celtic death metallers SUIDAKRA present their 15th studio album! Musically, the band seem to be returning to their early years with these 11 tracks, as DarkanakraD is undoubtedly dominated by melodic death metal parts, but at the same time also undergoes further development. The album, whose title translates as Armageddon, sounds as fresh and powerful as if the band had sprung from a fountain of youth and concludes the Realms Of Odoric trilogy, which began in 2016 with the album of the same name. The 11 songs, recorded, mixed and mastered for the first time by mastermind Arkadius himself at his own GHA Studio in Würzburg, were mastered by death metal legend Dan Swanö. This was something of a dream come true for Arkadius, as Edge Of Sanity played a formative role in the musical and melodic direction of the band in Suidakra's early days. With an At The Gates medley at the end of the record, Suidakra also pay tribute to another influence of their founding years. The content concept, as well as the corresponding artwork, was once again created by Kris Verwimp and so Darkankrad contains everything that has shaped the band over the last 30 years and is an album that could not have been a better present for the band's anniversary, both for themselves and their die-hard fans!
