This is the first full length ║ │ │║ offering from the five piece, with keyboard ║ │ │║ player Pontus Lekaregard contributing the lionÆs ║ │ │║ share of the writing but also û thankfully - not ║ │ │║ allowing his instrument to overshadow the rest. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ To be honest, the quality here is what I would ║ │ │║ expect from the likes of Frontiers Records, and ║ │ │║ I hope that High Gear can spread the word of ║ │ │║ Eternal (IÆll skip the æOf SwedenÆ from here ║ │ │║ on), because this is a band that deserves an ║ │ │║ audience. ThereÆs been talk of vocalist Christer ║ │ │║ Gards having a touch of the Graham Bonnets about ║ │ │║ him, and whilst thatÆs occasionally true (mainly ║ │ │║ on opener æYou CanÆt Break UsÆ) he certainly has ║ │ │║ his own sound, as do the band. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Eternal have a similar energy to the likes of ║ │ │║ Eclipse or W.E.T, with the album full of upbeat ║ │ │║ rockers with an incredibly solid guitar base ║ │ │║ layered with melodies and some very artfully ║ │ │║ placed keyboards. This is one of those lovely ║ │ │║ things, a melodic rock album with real power to ║ │ │║ it - witness the driving force of æVirusÆ for ║ │ │║ example, a track that would have sounded perfect ║ │ │║ on an album like AlcatrazÆs æDisturbing The ║ │ │║ PeaceÆ. Lyrically, I did chuckle a bit at æStart ║ │ │║ Of A New EraÆ, which is basically a song about ║ │ │║ the band itself and their ægreat new soundÆ. ║ │ │║ Catchy track, but a bit cheesy for it. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Regardless of the odd bit of cheese, Eternal ║ │ │║ have released one of the best albums this year ║ │ │║ with æChapter 1Æ. ItÆs got such a clear passion, ║ │ │║ and is full of powerful melodic rock, that I ║ │ │║ canÆt seem to stop playing it. Certainly one to ║ │ │║ buy if you liked the new Eclipse album, or if ║ │ │║ you used to love Alcatraz back in the day. ║ │ │║ Imagine a cool hybrid of the two and you have ║ │ │║ Eternal, who are, apparently, from Sweden! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - You Can't Break Us [05:33] │ │ 02 - Human [04:16] │ │ 03 - Virus [04:44] │ │ 04 - Start Of A New Era [04:54] │ │ 05 - Scream Higher [03:58] │ │ 06 - Heroes [05:17] │ │ 07 - Dead Or Alive [04:32] │ │ 08 - Ray Of Light [04:03] │ │ 09 - Stay The Night [04:34] │ │ 10 - Cross The Line [04:25] │ │ 11 - The Thing [05:06] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [51:22 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
