EIDOLON - THE PARALLEL OTHERWORLD (JUNE 2006)
Good Lord almighty! Finally got my promo copy, and let me say I am totally floored!
Its no surprise that Im a Pagans Mind whore, so I was pumped and ready for this release since Nils the PM Vocalist has takin over on vox duty.
After several listens Ive come to the conclusion that this sounds like a good mix of Zero Hour, Hallowed Apparition, and Apostles Of Defiance, all blended in with the great melodic vocals of Nils K Rue.
Anyone who thought Nils sounded amazing on the King Diamond cover "At The Graves" which was on the Infinity Divine reissue, will be absolutely floored at his rendition of Mercyful Fate "The Oath". I swear he sounds like KING DIAMOND himself! Absolutely amazing, you will be stunned for sure!
Very cool considering Nils, and Glen are big King Diamond fans (With Glen playing on "House Of God"). Nils is actually away seeing a King Diamond show right now haha.
Artwork was handled by the previous Eidolon albums artist, and the CD features some guest solos....including one by Michael Romeo!
Ive been a HUGE Eidolon fan from way back, and always loved talking to the Drovers when they'd show up at Prog Power. Im very glad that they added Nils, as he brings something special to this band.
Release date is roughly somewhere in June from Escapi Records. Put it on your want lists! Metal with a Vengeance!
