Brazil is perhaps
mostly known for it´s flourishing death metal scene and of course Angra but
there are also a couple of power metal bands hailing from that huge country.
Eterna is one of them and this is the first album from the band but still it
shows a band with a very mature sound. Even though there are some traces of
classic Rainbow and modern progressive influences the band oozes power metal
more than everything else, most notably due to the two vocalists. Eterna
sounds a little more like the Italian power-epic metal bands than those on the
German / Swedish scene which means a wider use of keyboards. Therefore
keyboards is an essential ingredience in the Eterna sound and songs like
"Mary's Son" and "Da Pacem Domine" show that they also know how to use
them without excessing. This is really a great new band in possession of a
vast amount of talent and two great power metal vocalists. Due to having two
vocalists Eterna has a wide vocal range, from the traditional high-pitched
power metal to the rock'n'roll-ish vocals on "Da Pacem Domine" and almost
a Geoff Tate sound on "The War Is Over". They might not have what it takes
to reach the top of the mountain yet but if you´re into power or melodic metal
this is a band worth checking out.
