Cadacross
Cadacross was formed in 1997, initially as a
Carcass-influenced
death metal band, though by the time of their first album
in 2000 they had injected more melodic sections to their style.
Apparently enough musical differences arose between leader
Georg Laakso and the rest of the band (Laakso wanting to continue
to move away from death metal) that, by the time of 2001's followup
Corona Borealis, Laakso was the only remaining
member from the first album lineup.
Their style mixes
melodic speed/power metal with death vocals
a style of metal particularly popular in Finland, which
is Cadacross' home.
Invariably
Children Of Bodom
is named as the prime similarly styled band for any Finnish band
in this field,
though
in the case of Cadacross, COB serves more as a minor reference
rather than a major soundalike.
Corona actually shows more depth in the music department, with
a grandiose style that suits them well
(
Finntroll
is often mentioned as another influence, though
it's a fleeting reference at best),
though the vocals are
rather one-dimensional roars, also typical for this style.
With Laakso and several others moving on to
Turisas,
and with Laakso himself quitting the music scene due to physical
injuries, Cadacross is probably done.
