SUIDAKRA: 'Dowth 2059' Video Released
February 3, 2011"Dowth 2059", the new video from German melodic folk/death metallers SUIDAKRA, can be viewed below (courtesy of Metal Injection). The clip marks the band's first collaboration with director/producer David Thelen.
"Dowth 2059" comes off SUIDAKRA's tenth album, "Book Of Dowth", whcih will be released on March 25 via AFM Records. The CD was recorded at Gernhart Studio in Siegburg, Germany with producer Martin Buchwalter. Famous Belgian graphic artist Kris Verwimp once again created the cover artwork and lyrical concept.
Inspired by the darker side of Celtic lore, the concept of "Book Of Dowth" chronicles the mythology of a mysterious race of demonic beings known as the "Fomor." Starting with the discovery of an ancient book at the excavation of Dowth (a Neolithic passage tomb in the Boyne Valley, Ireland),it unveils the yet untold story of the rise and fall of the Fomorian horde throughout history and far, far beyond…
Commented the band: "The recordings for 'Book Of Dowth' went even better than expected. We shit you not! Never before have recordings gone as smooth as this time, because all people involved were well prepared and very focused."
A four-minute video clip featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the studio can be viewed below.
