Crógacht is the ninth studio album by the German melodic death metal band Suidakra.
[4] In particular, it builds on the sound formed in the previous album, Caledonia, notably through the additional introduction of a sixteen-member choir as well as traditional instruments, such as the tin whistle, banjo, in addition to the bagpipe featured in both albums.
[4] Contrasting these new influences, Crógacht maintains the well-grounded melodic death sound that SuidAkrA began with in earlier albums.
It tells the story of the hero Cuchulainn’s journey to the Hebridean island of Skye, where he seeks to learn the arts of war from the Scythian warrior woman Scáthach.
The decisions he then has to make set the events in motion that will lead up to his son Conlaoch’s tragic fate.
