www.suidAkra.com was updated with lots of information about the new record 'Caledonia' (release date: 17.11.2006): The new artwork by Kris Verwimp, a complete track list, some new band pictures and last but not least a link to a studio video clip of the new song 'Forth-Clyde' at the bands official mySpace page www.mySpace.com/suidakra.
Here's a promotional info about the new record:
SuidAkrA are starting fresh in 2006 with the 'Emprise To Avalon' and 'Signs for the Fallen' line-up (Marcel rejoined the band in Sept. 2005) and their 8th upcoming studio album, 'Caledonia'. While 'Command To Charge' was a new adventure for SuidAkrA, 'Caledonia' once again returns to the roots of an inspired, well-balanced mixture of raw death metal, bombastic catchy riffs, plenty of harmonies and a mesmerizing pagan/folk atmosphere. SuidAkrA's ability to blend these various sounds into a hard, fast-paced yet intricate song structure is what really sets them apart from the rest.
Imagine 'Caledonia' as a sonic guide through the fierce ancient Scottish highlands. A purely enchanted tragedy is quite effective when combined with an aggressive soundtrack, intermezzo acoustic pieces, highly varied vocals, literate, narrative anthems and bagpipe tunes. The lyrical concept of 'Caledonia' is to fathom the mystical side of the tribe of the Picts (the natives of ancient Scotland) and their war against the attacking Roman Empire. The story's main focus is the spiritual and cultural aspects when these two worlds collide.
Well-known Belgian artist Kris Verwimp once again managed to suitably capture the essence of the storyline with an amazing artwork design.
cold wind is foreboding war!
