2013, Suidakra's pioneering work in the metal scene is without equal. Even before terms like ´Pagan` became well known in musical circles, Suidakra had played and evolved that sound, their unique blend of melodic death metal, traditional heavy metal influences and Celtic folk elements a source of inspiration for a whole load of young bands... Suidakra themselves now soldier on determined to keep fresh, but they should now understand just how determined and huge their loyal fan base is: after the release of their latest album BOOK OF DOWTH (2011), tours in Europe, USA, India and China led the band, centered on front man Arkadius, nearly once around the world. That Suidakra are still true to their roots but also developing, will be unmistakably clear once you listen to the new album, ETERNAL DEFIANCE. After all their many, many releases, Suidakra again still reveal new aspects to themselves, even reinventing themselves. The new album is full of songs full of intense heaviness - as we know it would be.
