Eldritch

Does anyone here like this Italian metal band? They are power metal, with nods towards thrash. At times they remind me a bit of Nevermore.

I've only heard Portrait From The Abyss Within.
Very good album. I need to get more of them.

I only have one album as well (Blackenday), but I'd like to get more.

I've got their NEIGHBOURHELL album from a few years back. Pretty cool power/thrash stuff. Kinda reminds me of Annihilator at times.

I've got a few of their discs that I picked up dirt cheap when Tower Records was closing shop. They were a blind purchase based soley on the cool covers and little promo sticker (For fans of...The newest from Italian Power/Thrash...etc).

Pretty cool stuff. I'd say the Nevermore comparison is sorta accurate. I should break 'em out again and see if anything in particular sticks.

I have Seeds Of Rage but like kmorg it just never really clicked with me. I didn't think it was bad or anything, just wasn't something that got return listens. I'll admit I had high hopes for it so I may have been letdown. Maybe I should break it out again and see if a fresh listen changes anything.

Yeah, give it a fresh spin. It didn't click with me either at first ... it proved to be a grower though.

I have all the discography. Needless to say that "El Nino" is one of the best European power/prog albums of the '90's. Amazing! With their 2 previous albums to follow. The "Reverse" album was a little bit modern for me but still decent I've lost traces after the "portrait.." album don't know why...

If the Japanese Eldritch and the Italian Eldritch got in a fight - Who would win?

All-out true thrash. They put out one essential album in '93 calle "Blood Breed Calls My Name".

I have seen a few of their discs for sale pretty cheap (like $6 and under) and read some reviews, but I have never hear a note from them. I have to hear some of their stuff soon. Peace.

It's power metal not thrash...

I don't think anyone here was saying that the Italian Eldritch was thrash. Uncle Saxon was just saying there is a Japanese band of the same name that is thrash.

Not the band for whom this thread was started. No one was calling them thrash. I just said they had some 'thrashy' moments in their music. They're not a flower metal band. They play an aggressive form of power metal, much like Nevermore.

Sorry somehow I didn't see sentinel's post my answer goes to saxon the japanese full-length is power metal not thrash...

I have 3 of their releases and I just randomly grabbed one (Seeds of Rage) into work with me this week to give it a fresh spin.

I'm thinking I don't like them as much as I thought I did. Eldritch Icon_lol

I was listening to Seeds of Rage yesterday and I was just thinking "meh". I'll keep it in rotation this week and give it some more spins though. In all fairness, I did have to keep the volume fairly low. Lotsa folks walking in and out of my work area. Maybe I'm missing something.
