Already Eternal Storm‘s debut album Come The Tide generated some giant waves over here. A moon-driven show of force that waltzed straight onto the lofty heights of the RMR 2019 Top 10. A relatively rare occurrence, but not completely unheard of.

And that’s all great but – at the same time – kind of scary for a first-ever record of a band. Because this posed an immediate challenge to Eternal Storm. An invite from hell to – at least – produce an equal record for their sophomore run. The infamous second piece that often shipwrecks on overwrought … [...] Click to raid more!

Thus, more decisions need to be made and some select few records will … [...] Click to raid more!

Well, the saga continues. Here’s yet another candidate to reach the lofty peaks of our lamestream n00b list. Insanely popular metal bands that exist (more or less) since the Dawn of The Metal Beast. But for some reason, they didn’t quite make it onto our swampy review pipe, despite their notoriety and undeniable success. The reasons range from no need for mainstream bands to too dumb to tango.

So, yet again, we’ll be exploring how this here metal survivor would fare with a contemporary look at today’s offering without any regard to their past actions. In other words, the very … [...] Click to raid more!
