The west coast of
Sweden has been the home of many well known melodic death metal bands such as
In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Eucharist and Arch Enemy but there are still
more to come. Eternal Lies may not be that well known to the metal crowds of
the world quite yet but they are a band on the rise. The band was formed in
1998 and features the former Fatal Embrace member Tommy Grönberg on
vocals. To me most melodic death metal has become rather standardized the last
couple of years or so and it seems like there isn't much more to explore in
this field. However, there are still some bands who manage to do it well even
though they don't really turn out to be pioneers and Eternal Lies is one of
them. This is their debut album but surprisingly it shows a mature band with
skilled musicians behind the instruments. The songs are well crafted, very
melodic and also enhanced by the presence of Tommy Grönberg's black /
death metal roars. The drums don't always sound that good but apart from that
this is a most welcome addition to the Swedish melodic death metal scene. If
melody and aggression combined is what you crave for then you should not be
disappointed with this release. The production is beyond satisfying as
well.
