│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With a name like Eagleheart you could probably ║ │
│║ take a pretty confident stab in the dark as to ║ │
│║ what sort of music this Czech outfit play, and ║ │
│║ youÆd be right; sort of. While there are no ║ │
│║ prizes for guessing this is a melodic power ║ │
│║ metal CD, Eagleheart arenÆt the Stratovarius ║ │
│║ clone you might expect. While they no doubt take ║ │
│║ some influence from the Finns û particularly in ║ │
│║ their noodling neoclassical solos û their ║ │
│║ overall sound is much more o-f a melting pot of ║ │
│║ various ideas, drawing inspiration from a ║ │
│║ variety of sources but in the end not sounding ║ │
│║ like a direct copy of anyone. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In this respect they share some ground with ║ │
│║ mid-tier German outfits like Custard, producing ║ │
│║ a sound that is immediately familiar but at the ║ │
│║ same time quite difficult to put your finger on. ║ │
│║ æMoment of lifeÆ isnÆt really the sort of CD to ║ │
│║ name standout tracks from, as it works more as a ║ │
│║ singular body of work, a very professional and ║ │
│║ solid power metal experience with some mild ║ │
│║ progressive touches along the way. That said, ║ │
│║ there are a few songs that do raise their head ║ │
│║ above the battlements a little û the chorus to ║ │
│║ ôInto the skyö is the pick of the bunch, ║ │
│║ boasting a particularly captivating melody that ║ │
│║ sadly isnÆt matched by most of the other songs. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The closing ôLife goes fastö is another ║ │
│║ impressive effort, probably the most progressive ║ │
│║ of the lot as it changes tempo at the drop of a ║ │
│║ hat a couple of times and fits a few different ║ │
│║ moods into its 7 1/2 minutes. And for anyone ║ │
│║ disappointed that the bandÆs name isnÆt a more ║ │
│║ telling indication of their sound, the ║ │
│║ instrumental ôOut of the timeö may as well have ║ │
│║ the prefix ôStrato-ö as it sounds very much like ║ │
│║ one of Timo TolkkiÆs shred voyages and the ║ │
│║ guitarists give a great account of themselves. ║ │
│║ ôDonÆt turn your headö may be the best song ║ │
│║ overall though, sounding quite similar to ║ │
│║ EdguyÆs ôVain glory operaö (minus the ║ │
│║ keyboards), and thus featuring a suitably ║ │
│║ anthemic chorus and a simple, highly effective ║ │
│║ driving rhythm. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Part of the reason the songs sometimes donÆt ║ │
│║ full distinguish themselves may be the vocals of ║ │
│║ Vojta Simonik û technically he is more than ║ │
│║ capable, but he doesnÆt really imbue as much ║ │
│║ bombast as you would hope for into some of the ║ │
│║ choruses and doesnÆt have the sort of voice you ║ │
│║ could immediately pick out from the rank and ║ │
│║ file of European power metal singers. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Not all the blame can be laid at SimonikÆs door ║ │
│║ though, as the band are ultimately dealing in a ║ │
│║ style of music that has been thoroughly explored ║ │
│║ a thousand times over and has a veritable army ║ │
│║ of bands competing for the attention of the ║ │
│║ bombarded listeners, so a few songs that have ║ │
│║ difficulty making a name for themselves is a ║ │
│║ forgivable offence. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Disregarding these quibbles though, the CD is ║ │
│║ one that is very easy to like as it has a great ║ │
│║ deal going in its favour. ItÆs not exactly ║ │
│║ specialist stuff, but people who arenÆt deep ║ │
│║ into their power metal may find themselves ║ │
│║ skimming over this one û for enthusiasts on the ║ │
│║ other hand, it should prove to be a hidden gem. ║ │
