Eidolon - Nightmare World
Melodic Power Metal from Canada with some Thrash-stylings thrown in for good measure. While there are a number of bands that fit this description, Nightmare World’s song-content is what helps Eidolon stand apart from the rest. Instead of writing songs about swords, dragons, and rescuing maidens from their virginity, these guys focus on the workings of the inner-mind and the darkness within one’s soul. In fact, I would say that they strongly resemble Nevermore in this respect. Although there isn’t much in the way of technical wizardry going on here, there is plenty of creativity to be found, and Eidolon’s music is anything but predictable. Check out the acoustic work on “Fortress of Red.” And “Eye of Illusion” has almost a “Pull the Plug” feel to it. Indeed, the production favors the guitar-sound which imbues the music with a more powerful presence that is sometimes lacking in many releases in this genre. A definite force to be reckoned with.
