EDEN'S FALL - Harmony of Lies - CD - Nothingheart Records - 2006
review by: Rick Luna
Harmony of Lies maintains some bright areas, but the light flickers and dissipates after a few listens. Edens Fall has some great ideas here and there, including the combination of straight-up, traditional metal (the entire musical package) and aggressive growls almost death metal in nature.
The musicianship isnt as sharp as a sword, but the technical moments spread throughout speed up the pace of the music and really make for a nice treat. Even the slower, calming breaks tend to bring things down in a good way. Variety is always recommended, but the music doesnt really capture the mood or the moment.
One other thing that bothers me the most when dealing with this traditional vocal metal styling is how its sung. Pitch seems to be everything. Not to rag on the singer, but much better could have been done in that department. If only there was more passion put into making the music. (5/10)
