'Crogacht' (meaning 'Bravery' in Irish Gaelic), was inspired by one of the most dramatic tales in Irish mythology, known as "Aided Oenfhir Aoife", or "The Death of Aoife's only son".It tells the story of the legendary hero Cuchulainn's epic journey to the Isle Of Skye where he seeks to learn the arts of war from the Scythian warrior woman Scathach. The decisions he then has to make set the events in motion that will lead up to his son Conlaoch's tragic fate..
Continuing their winning formula of Melodic Death heavily bathed in folk atmosphere and with broad use of bagpipe and such, SuidAkrA latest opus should be on a lot of listeners? shortlist. While Cr?gacht does not reinvent their music much, the "catchiness" and ever present power of the songs make this album a great listen. I would go as far as to say that the band increased the folk inclusions. But they did so without sacrificing their trademark juggernaut Melodeath sound...They might not be Gaelic, but these Germans could fool you. The atmosphere is very well crafted and genuine. If you enjoyed any of their previous albums, you should get this blindfolded as it is at least equal to Caledonia. And for those poor folks who have no idea what a SuidAkrA album sounds like, you better give those guys a listen. I personally do not think there is a better band in the particular genre. Cr?gacht kills.
