ETERNAL LEGACY - THE COMING OF TEMPEST
AUBURN RECORDS
METAL TO INFINITY
May i have your attention now for these Parma, Cleveland based youngsters Eternal Legacy. Five piece Epic / Power / Progressive Metal that has a loaded package of talent to border. Formed in the summer of 2003 by the brothers Jason (vocals / rhythm guitars) / Shaun Vanek (lead guitar). The brothers Vanek were ex-Mercinary members who got company from drummer Steve Dukoslow shortly after. Three guys were ready to rock, the rest of the band was found a bit later on. Bassist Ian Savage teamed up but left the ranks briefly aftwerwards. Josk Gatka took over his duties and one of the youngest keyboard players i've ever know joined also forces with Eternal Legace. Name of this very young musician is Spencer Phillips and was only thirteen year old when he entered the band in 2005. With an average age of 20, these young Americans delivering something really awesome!!
Sharing many stages with several greats, appeared on different compilation albums...Eternal Legacy were offered a record deal with Auburn Records, the US company under the watchful eye of CEO Bill Peters! Meanwhile, Eternal Leagacy's debut album "The Coming Of The Tempest" has been released and i'm strongly impressed of what this CD has to offer. Playing Metal music this way out AND at such a young age, they definitely gonna make it...these guys will step into the gates of fame quite soon! That's my opinion about the band!
Musical wise, it's almost perfect... driven by the magic of Metal music, Eternal Legacy plays it all in a well-considered manner. Technical all the way, you should listen to the awesome combination of both guitar players and the keyboards parts which brings me straight into the world of Progressive Metal ala: Symphorce, Kamelot or Avantasia to name a few. Melodic and catchy to the extreme, what mainly kicks me in the head while listening are the shreddings. The WOW effect is at hand for sure! Also throbbing bass works, roaring guitars and great vocals, etc... i'm totally in guys!
Epic minded as they are, some dark elements to give an extra feel to it all as well. "The Coming Of The Tempest" sounds not very renewing, mostly played in a Euro - styled manner, still with Eternal Legacy it's now and then 'Pedal To The Medal' time too! Sometimes, the band's taking the fast lane instead...headbangers, make a stand! There are enough elements or skills presently on this output to say already that Eternal Legacy is a very promising band, more than probably THE revalation concerning Prog / Power Metal nowadays. No doubt about it, they'll find their way to the top without any form of doubt. Charged with so much talent on a youtful age like this, i'll bow my Metal head and praise them to heaven!!
