ETERNITY’S END – “TITANBLOOD” (2026, SCARLET)

MythofRock — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 11:06:42 +0000

Power metal has become a rather worn-out genre. Its heyday was years ago, and today it rarely gets much attention, except through a handful of bands whose talent and skills manage to bring power metal back into the spotlight. One of these bands is Eternity’s End, the musical brainchild of virtuoso guitarist Christian Muenzner, who have now reached their fourth album with their latest release. “Titanblood” is an excellent record that could take the German band to the next level. Why? For many reasons! First, the songs are highly inspired, built around a wealth of fantastic ideas, and reveal something new with every listen to the attentive, demanding listener. They draw influences from bands across both the European and American power metal scenes. Second, the vocals are amazing! How could they be anything else when the group’s new singer is the well-known Mike Livas (Silent Winter, Bloodorn), whose beautiful voice takes Eternity’s End to another level?! The third reason is the incredible technical ability of the band’s musicians. Special mention must go to the group’s leader, Christian Muenzner, who performs absolute wonders on guitar! We’re talking about a guitarist who brings the glory days of Shrapnel Records into the present! As a result, the album also takes on a strong progressive metal edge. Beyond that, the production is excellent, pushing every instrument to the forefront with just the right degree of clarity and crispness. The only thing I’m not particularly fond of is the artwork, which feels somewhat amateurish – “Titanblood” definitely deserved a more suitable cover. Taking all these factors into account, we can appreciate the true value of this album and realize that the time has come for Eternity’s End to gain wider recognition. Support this highly deserving band, which deserves to be among the top acts in today’s metal scene!

(Eternity’s End)

Having mainly been known for playing technical death metal for more than a decade (most notably with Necrophagist and Obscura), in 2014 Christian Muenzner decided to start a new band to play the style of music that was his first love, which is neoclassical, progressive power/speed metal, and thus Eternity’s End was born, influenced by Symphony X, Yngwie Malmsteen, Stratovarius, Angra, early Helloween, early Blind Guardian, Running Wild, Judas Priest as well as Helstar and Crimson Glory. The band released their first album “The Fire Within” in 2016. In 2019 the second album “Unyielding” was released, followed by “Embers Of War” in 2021.

MYSTFALL – “EMBERS OF A DYING WORLD” (2026, SCARLET)

MythofRock — Fri, 29 May 2026 08:39:03 +0000

Three years after their debut “Celestial Vision”, the Greek symphonic metal band Mystfall returns with “Embers of a Dying World”. An ambitious sophomore effort that leans heavily into cinematic and ethereal territories. Led by the versatile soprano Marialena Trikoglou, the album functions less as a traditional guitar driven metal record and more as a comprehensive compositional package, blending Celtic folk, classical arrangements and even an occasional “pirate jig” energy into a dark, metal, atmospheric soundscape. The vocalist remains the focal point, navigating effortless shifts from operatic heights to gritty, aggressive growls. This vocal variety is the cornerstone of the record, especially when the juxtaposition of choral chanting and harsh vocals creates a compelling narrative flow. While the instrumental side offers steady rhythmic almost “percussive like” grooves, the lead guitar work often feels like a missed opportunity. The solos are present but lack the technical flair and bite needed to truly stand out against the grand orchestral backdrop, often feeling functional rather than inspired. The production leans toward a warm, bass-oriented profile. While this enhances the dreamy atmosphere the band strives for, a touch more of high-end clarity would have allowed the intricate vocal melodies to truly shimmer. Despite the density of the symphonic elements, the mix remains breathable and never feels too cluttered, allowing the listener to track the various orchestral layers with ease. Though the album is a cohesive listening experience, a bit more out of the box experimentation could have elevated the songwriting further. Mystfall clearly excels within their chosen niche, but some passages tread familiar ground. Nevertheless, “Embers of a Dying World” is a strong display of musicianship and a testament to the band’s ability to craft evocative, widescreen metal. It is a solid step forward for the Greek scene, proving that Mystfall has a distinct, albeit dark, vision for the future of symphonic metal.

DEATHLESS LEGACY – “DAMNATIO AETERNA” (2025, SCARLET)

MythofRock — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 11:26:49 +0000

Italian heavy/doom (horror themed) metal band Deathless Legacy release their seventh full length album, titled “Damnatio Aeterna”. Deathless Legacy (having started as a Death SS tribute band back in 2006) have influences from a lot of styles, which I am familiar with, thus that gave me an idea of what I was about to hear. I must note that although the influences are clear, Deathless Legacy have managed to carve their own personal style and touches, which is a very pleasant surpise. Delving deeper into the themes of the album, I discovered that it revolves around a demon, named Malchrum, who the devil provokes to ensnare a priest , who in turn will be eternally damned. Very well structured story in my opinion. Moving onto the tracks, eleven ones are included, with the title track taking the lead. A noteworthy touch is singer Steva’s dark yet sultry delivery and mesmerizing voice. Piano is evident all through the record, but in the first track, I feel it shines, with the dramatic, chanted vocals, making it feel epic, yet haunting. A personal favourite of mine is track three, “Communion”. The organ included in the beginning is otherworldly and makes you feel as if you’re on the said journey the album describes. Overall, all tracks are unique, each one taking its own macabre shape. This creation was unique and commanding, Deathless Legacy for sure has a lot to offer.
