SuidAkrA is a Melodic Death Metal band with folk influences from Germany. There is a very prominent Gothenburg metal sound to their music.
Gloryfication / SuidAkrA 1994-1997
SuidAkrA’s very beginnings lie back in the year of 1994 when vocalist / guitarist Arkadius Antonik and drummer Stefan Möller founded the band. In those years they called themselves ‘Gloryfication’. After two demos and the addition of Marcel Schoenen to the band, their name was subsequently changed. Their musical basis and background was a stylistic mixture of black metal and traditional heavy metal, enriched by some folk elements. The self-produced record ‘Lupine Essence’ was the first considerable result published in 1997 before the band was signed by the record label Last Episode. 2000 copies of ‘Lupine Essence” were sold and SuidAkrA had become well known in the underground.
Auld Lang Syne 1998
After gathering enough material for a second album, ‘Auld Lang Syne’ was recorded in 1998. This album was a lyrical concept aroused from the ideas of Celtic mythology. SuidAkrA played their first gig at the Wacken Open Air Festival 1998 and supported Haggard & Tristania on tour both in and outside Germany.
Lays From Afar 1999
SuidAkrA was not wholly satisfied with the sound of ‘Auld Lang Syne’, so Stage One Studio and producer Andy Classen were chosen for the recording sessions of the new album. ‘Lays From Afar’ tells a coherent story based on mythological facts and pure fantasy. The album was an enormous leap forwards in the band’s musical development, which is evident in the ease with which they merge a broad variety of styles.

I really wish they had their Crogacht album listed. I'm listening to all the albums in order, and it's the best so far and by far! Looking forward to Book of Dowth, the band has seemingly dropped a lot of their folk touch and pushed more into a melodic death style. Love it!
