Free Music Notes for Eidolon
Free Music Review: Not quite what I expected
Hit: 3 Stars
Unfortunately bland songwriting mars this well-produced effort. Most of the songs flow one into the next without any real standouts. The listener keeps waiting for a melody or structure to grab and pull them into the experience emotionally, but it rarely comes. This is a bit frustrating as the promise of amazing things is evident, but not delivered on this recording. Best track would have to be Baphomet. It has attention-grabbing riff work and melodic structure, particularly in the later half. Kudos to Morean for bringing a more thoughtful lyricism to the entire proceedings, however.
Eidolon Poster
2008 album from the German Black Metal outfit. Formed in 1994, Dark Fortress have established themselves in the top ranks of the Black Metal genre with intense live shows and fascinating, pitch black full-length masterpieces that meet the standard created mostly in northern Europe's prolific scenes with ease. Things were just picking up speed with the recording of this album when the band had to announce the departure of vocalist Azathoth due to personal reasons in May 2007. Three months later the band decided to go with an old acquaintance of theirs Morean, a freelance composer and guitarist of the progressive Death/Thrashers Noneuclid. The multi-talented Morean was also responsible for the lyrical concept of Eidolon. The concept describes a magic mirror ritual as while a person is in a trance, the surface of the mirror is used as a gate to enter a new dimension. Three songs each form the album's three chapters. Nine tracks. Century Media.International Music CDs
