SuidAkrA can look back in their 13-year-old history and see 8 published albums, more than 200 gigs and various touring activities. The band has had a steadily growing following for many years in the German Metal scene. Following the worldwide release of their albums 'Emprise To Avalon' (2002), 'Signs For The Fallen' (2003), 'Command To Charge' (2005) and 'Caledonia' (2006), they gained many new fans in Europe and drew more attention in the USA, South America, Japan and Australia.While in 2005 'Command To Charge' was a new adventure for SuidAkrA, 'Caledonia' (2006) once again returned to the roots of an inspired, well-balanced mixture of raw death metal, plenty of harmonies, a mesmerizing pagan/folk atmosphere and bombastic catchy heavy metal. 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. Their variations prove that melody and brutality can be worked together to provide a unique experience for the listener.The most recent album 'Caledonia' has been well-received and much praised by fans and journalists alike:“If you liked SuidAkrA in the past, you will absolutely love Caledonia … this is one highlight of 2006!” - The Metal ObserverVisions Underground (10/10)Treehouse Of Death (8,5/10)The Metal Observer (9,5/10)Mystic Arts Media (9,5/10)Bleeding 4 Metal (9,5/10)Music-Discovery (9/10)Feindesland.de (15/15)Tinitus-Mag (8,5/10)Metal Heart (9,5/10)Metal District (9/10)Metal Hammer (6/7)Music Scan (8,5/10)Neckbreaker (9/10)Metal-Mirror (9/10)Bright Eyes (11/13)Rock Hard (8,5/10)Metalearth (9/10)Metalglory (9/10)Rockezine (8/10)The Pit (9/10)Highlights for the band in 2007 include several shows spanning over 12 countries, the participation at Wacken Open Air, and both the European tour with Ensiferum as well as their own headlining Russian-Ukrainian tour.SuidAkrA continues to move forward in 2008 with their highly anticipated, first ever shows in the United States!
