Suidakra have been busy working on a new studio album since May. The band has now checked in with the following news:

"The recording sessions for Book Of Dowth are just a few weeks away! Before locking ourselves in at Gernhart Studio in Siegburg on November 30 to nail down the new record with producer Martin Buchwalter, we just want to take the opportunity to quickly deliver the latest news. Let's start with the track listing of Book Of Dowth:

Book Of Dowth cover art] tracklist:

01. Over Nine Waves
02. Dowth 2059
03. Battle-Cairns
04. Biróg's Oath
05. Mag Mell
06. The Dark Mound
07. Balor
08. Stone Of The Seven Suns
09. Fury Fomoraigh
10. Otherworlds Collide

Besides preparing for the recordings, we spent the last few weeks shooting a brand new video clip for the track "Dowth 2059". It's our first collaboration with director/producer David Thelen and even though the post-production has just started, one thing is for sure: It will kick some serious ass! Keep your eyes peeled...

We have to announce a line-up change: Due to work-related circumstances, guitarist Sebastian Hintz cannot spend his time with Suidakra any longer. His final concert with the band will take place on December 4, 2010 in Belgium! We wish him all the best for his future career and want to express our gratitude for his commitment and friendship during the last 2 years. Thanks for the great time, Sebakki! Well, it's no new situation for the rest of us and we'll continue without hesitation: We have already recruited a new live guitar player for our shows in 2011: His name is Jussi and maybe some of you have heard of his main band Kingdom Of Salvation.

We're busy working on tours, single shows and festival appearances for the next year, so there will be plenty opportunities to invite all of us for a beer... Well, that's it from us. We'll keep you updated from the studio with more info about the new album, pics, videos etc. etc."

German metallers Suidakra have issued the following update on their official website:

"Quite some time has passed since the last update. We have been in North America, which was great as always! Check out some pics here. Thanks to all of you who came out to the shows! We had a good time and hope to come back soon...

Right now we're on the next tour already, riding through France and Switzerland. Check out the tour dates and come to the gigs if you can make it! Unfortunately the London show in June will go on without our participation due to organisational problems beyond our control. Sorry for that!

Our Emprise To Avalon album was re-released recently. Originally out on Century Media in the year 2002, Emprise To Avalon has surely become a Suidakra classic over the years. It was out of print for some time, but now you may purchase it here. Brandnew "15 Years anniversary" T-shirts are available as well...

The best at the end: We started to write new music for the next album and have about 4 songs finished so far! Recording is supposed to start in December; we'll keep you updated..."

Suidakra have issued the following update on their MySpace:

"Suidara is going to China! It will be a mini tour in June with three shows in Shenyang, Beijing and Shanghai, which will no doubt prove quite an experience for Chinese fans and the band alike! The trip will hopefully be filmed and documented in a tour diary like that of the US tour.

Suidakra are also pleased to welcome new guitar player Sebastian Hintz as a full band member. He's a hell of a nice guy and knows to rip his guitar and vocal cords on stage, plus he's already contributed some backing vocals on the latest record "Crógacht". Click here to find more info about the band members.

Suidakra will be featured on the forthcoming Running Wild sampler "ReUnation - A Tribute To Running Wild" (more info here and here). The track "Marooned" will be put through the Suidakra meat grinder and it will rip your wooden legs off, aye!"
