Killing songs: <i>Every song on Reverse KILLS !!!</i>
Traitor, Traitor, Traitor !!!
I can already hear Eldritch's fans out there screaming "Traitor
!" to their favorite band. Yes, Eldritch is dead, long
live Eldritch.
The prog' music has totally disappear (thanks God !!!) and has
been replaced by a wonderful power/thrash music that will grab your
balls from the first note. Always melodic, excellent song-writting,
bombastic production and what a "slap" in the face.
This is what I call courage, because Eldritch was compared
to Dream Theater and was well placed in Italy to become the big
prog' band. After the intro (which must be the only thing that will
remind you old Eldritch), Reverse (the song) will hit you
face like Metallica did on the black album and this will be the
case for all the other songs on Reverse. Let's
not forget to mention the singer, Terence Holler : what an unbelievable
performance by the vocalist on the whole record who reminds me Heavens
Gate's singer, Thomas Rettke. Two thumbs up Mr. Holler !!!!
It is no doubt the new lineup explains this reversal and it is
no doubt Eldritch will lose some fans with Reverse
(if not all their early fans). However, I am sure they will
win the heart of all power/thrash fans out there. If you are fan
of Metallica, Testament, Fear Factory, Pantera or even Annihilator,
do not miss this bombastic Italian surprise. Considering this band
was playing like Dream Theater and is now giving a Metallica lesson,
trust me, this is the MEGA surprise of the year so far.
Buy or die !!!!!!!
