Suidakra follows up their
successful 2002 Century Media debut "Emprise To Avalon" with their sixth
full-length album so far. "Signs For The Fallen" is just as melodic as its
predecessor and the early In Flames period influences are obvious. The
melodies and guitar sound is quite similar to "The Jester Race" but the
production is a lot more powerful and modern. Suidakra sounds more modern
overall on this release since they have taken on a more aggressive and intense
edge, moving slightly away from their folk / viking metal past and closer
towards the new wave of death / thrash metal á la Soilwork. I don't think
this was a wise choice though. "Signs For The Fallen" is still a good album
but it feels as if Suidakra have lost some of what made them Suidakra. Their
previous release was more original and they really had something of their own.
Perhaps they have been listening too much to the label or producers telling
them what is popular in the metal world at the moment. Wonderful musicianship
and quite a lot of nice melodies but too much of a modern history lesson to be
one of a kind. Recommended to fans of In Flames, Soilwork, Thyrfing or melodic
extreme metal in general. Stand-out tracks:
"Revenant".
