Hi folks,
It's me, Arkadius. Music is one of the most important things in my life! I started playing guitar when I was 15 after beeing a great Angus Young fan! In 1994 one of my dreams came true when I had the chance to play in my first own band called “Gloryfication”. One year later we changed the name into “SuidAkrA” and released since that time a couple of albums and played a lot of shows/tours. Check out the discography:
- "Dawn” DEMO CD (self-realesed ‘95) - “Lupine Essnece” CD (self-realesed ‘97)
- “Auld Lang Syne” CD (Last Episode ‘98) - “Lays From Afar" CD (Last Episode ‘99)
- “The Arcanum” CD (Last Episode ‘00) - “Emprise To Avalon” CD (Century Media ‘02)
- “Signs For The Fallen” CD (Century Media ‘03) - “Command To Charge” CD (Armageddon Music ‘05)
- “Caledonia” CD (Armageddon Music ‘06) - “13 Years Of Celtic Wartunes” DVD/CD (Wacken Records/SPV 25.apr.2008)
From time to time I worked on some smaller projects as guest vocalist/guitarist.
As guest musician (guitar solo on War Of Wars) on:
- LEGEN BELTZA "Dimension Of Pain " (Mausoleum Records)
Till now I have played nearly 200 shows in Europe (Germany, France, Russia, UK, Spain, Slovenia, Poland, Hungary, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Swizerland, Italy, Czech Repubik).
After 13 years beeing SuidAkrA's singer, guitarist and songwriter the time has come to release a "best of" album and our first DVD ever. I'm really looking forward to play the first US Shows on the Chicago Powerfest and the Pagan Fest in may this year! If you look for more infos check out: www.myspace.com/suidakra
I’m interested in all kind of music (rock, blues, metal, classic, irish folk).
I use the following equipment:
- ESP (LTD) AX-350
- Ibanez EX 570
- Ibanez Joe Satriani JS100
- Yamaha APX A4
- Hughes & Kettner Amp ATS 120
- Hughes & Kettner Warp 7 Box
- Boss GT-5
- In Tune Guitar Picks - Custom
My hobbies beside the music are collecting DVD’s (I’m a real film freak), reading a lot of history books, tattos, collecting insects (especially bugs), phoning with Marcus ;-) and have a lot of fun with the rest of the band, witch are my best friends.
Alright that all for now, enjoy my page and keep on rockin’
