Cadacross was a melodic death metal group originating from Hämeenlinna, Finland, established in 1997. Following the release of their initial album, So Pale Is the Light, the band experienced major personnel shifts, resulting in guitarist and vocalist Georg Laakso remaining as the only founding member. Their sophomore album, Corona Borealis, introduced a sound more closely associated with Finnish viking and folk metal styles, resembling acts such as Turisas.
End of band
On October 27, 2005, Georg Laakso endured a spinal cord injury due to a vehicular accident, which brought an end to both Cadacross and his role as guitarist for Turisas. Since that time, Laakso has dedicated himself to music production within his personal studio.
