Eyefear, progressive metal from Australia
October 2, 2007
If you like Iron Maiden, I implore you to check out Australian rockers Eyefear. I think you’ll be pleased with the music this band puts out. The vocals of Danny Cecati immediately remind me of Bruce Dickinson’s aggressive melodic tone. Keep in mind I am a bit biased here due to the fact that Iron Maiden has always been one of my favorite bands. But Eyefear has their own approach to the progressive metal genre. Since forming in 1994, the band has had quite a few changes in their band member lineup, but have maintained a strong sound through it all. Their effort A World of Full Grey is awesome, released worldwide on the Dockyard 1 label earlier this year. Go to their myspace page and listen to tracks from their latest..
Dawn of Tears – download album for free
September 26, 2007
More free music for metal heads. There’s a band from Spain called “Dawn of Tears” that is offering a free download of their album “Descent”. All you have to do is visit their website for the link. I don’t have too much info on the band yet, but I gave a listen to the album and I think it sounds awesome. Their full bodied sound has a good melodic edge to it. Some might find their music similar to Children of Bodom or maybe even Cradle of Filth. I’m not going to make a complete comparison, so listen for yourself. Definitely worth the download if you like this sort of music.

..a bit of Eeriness for you
September 11, 2007
Fans of gloom Gothic metal might want to take notice of the band Eeriness if you haven’t already. Eeriness, who hail from Switzerland, have been around for a little over ten years. During that time they have focused on accenting their music more and more. The band has both lost and gained members over the years, but their core elements of sound remain strong. This can be found on their latest release “Paths”. I love the blend of edgy metal riffs along with the operatic vocals of Sirkka Skald. They have the ability to create a gloomy but beautiful sound. If this type of music interests you, I suggest you learn more about the band at their official sites I have listed below.
