Six years ago Eric Clayton and his friends in
Saviour Machine set out to create one of the most ambitious musical projects
ever seen: a comprehensive study of apocalyptic theory in four parts. The two
first albums were released in 1997 and 1998 and three years have now passed
before the third opus is revealed to the masses. This time around Carljohan
Grimmark from the Swedish power metal band Narnia helped out to make the new
album more guitar oriented than the two previous ones. Narnia is one of the
most boring bands I've ever heard but this is luckily not the case with
Saviour Machine since they are one of the most unique Christian metal bands of
today. The music itself is a very melodic mix of orchestral doom metal, heavy
epic music and the almost operatic vocals from Eric Clayton who sometimes
reminds me of Matthew Barlow from Iced Earth. The production is almost perfect
but there is nothing else to expect when Michael Wagener (Accept, Metallica,
Scorpions) has been involved. One of the most beautiful songs ever made can be
found on this album ("The Ancient Serpent") but unfortunately the slow heavy
rhythm pattern gets slightly boring after an hour. Still, this is one of the
best metal releases of the
month.
