Most underrated folk band ever

Albums great, but a little short when considering the folky acoustic/female vocal songs.

Same as with the last one... but again, these songs fit well in the middle of the album.

Another awesome album by Suidakra...but not as good as Crogacht still. At least after the first listen.

Excelente disco !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic stuff...and song "Biróg's Oath" mmmhhhmmmm perfect... 9/10

The song "Mag Mell" gives me a Blind Guardian-feeling, in a good way.

Wow... so many positive comments. perhaps I should check this one out

My expectations on this was quite low but after listening to the album several times it turned out to be the opposite. This album is great with everything (except that the album is only 40 min.) Also the album cover was little misleading. When i got the album i thought it was black metal. This is as good as Moonsorrow's recent release.

This album is really nice

High praise indeed! I'll have to check this out at some point. I did like the couple of Suidakra songs I heard on last.fm....

This may be the most beautiful album they have released.

Does anyone know who the incredible female guest vocalist is? I can't find it online anywhere but she is AMAZING with this music.

Didn't find this to be anything out of the ordinary. Its solid, but I had no intention of spinning it again after I finished it.

What a weird album. I'm relistening to it a lot lately, and I can't seem to shake the conclusion that this album is structurally flawed. This is a very loose concept album. However, Birog's Oath and Mag Mell serve as a rather long, awkward abstraction from the central core of the album. While the female singer was talented in Birog's Oath, the fact that she was given an entire track and placed in that position within the album is poor, in my opinion. From The Dark Mound onward, the tracks are solid but not spectacular, mindblowing stuff. Good effort, though.

My thoughts exactly!

Tina Stabel on tracks 4,5,9 =)

Definitely a very solid disc in all their songs, the only downside I see is that it is a little short, you keep wanting more, because really you want more!. The inclusion of the two guest singers has been a success, really they make a very good work in this album. By the way, if you want classical music, look for the digipak edition =)

Japanese bonus tracks:

13. Fall Of Tara
14. Marooned (Running Wild Cover)

Listening to that Running Wild cover reminds me how good the original song is, killer riffs galore Not a bad cover, but the original guitars/sound seems just invincible.

Pretty good album, though I think "Crógacht" remains my favorite by Suidakra, and this would be 2nd favorite. Variety in vocals, acoustic guitars, bagpipes and "Balor" being probably the most impressive song by the band. About half of the album is forgotten pretty easily, but the other 4 or even 5 songs stand multiple listens.

Some folk tunes mix whit melodic dm....good artwork, solid album.
