Swedish metallurgists
Eternal Fear presents their fifth release, this time mixed by Blaze Bailey
guitarist Steve Ray, and I do think this is the band’s best product when it
comes to the production. The band mixes influences from classic heavy metal
with touches of both Manowar, Metallica, Maiden and even some Falconer. It’s
heavy and crushing, but Ove Johnsson’s vocals are neither your traditional high
pitch power metal style, nor the Metallica style grunting. He’s somewhere in-between,
melodic enough to attract the power metal fans and rough enough to attract the
metal fans. Musically it’s sort of the same thing. Heavy enough, yet melodic
enough. Songs like Black Country even verges on thrash but the vocals keep it
on the metal side of the border. Killing Time takes it to Trouble territory,
almost a bit doomy, while Halls Of Odin screams folk metal, a bit like Falconer
meets Sabaton but with good vocals. A good piece of Swedish steel that should
attract fans of… well… metal!
