│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The historic tribulations of ELDRITCH are ║ │
│║ complicated and over-stretched for a more than ║ │
│║ 20 years period, I still clearly remember having ║ │
│║ seen them playing, opening brilliantly for ANGRA ║ │
│║ on their glorious ôHoly Land Tourö in 1995, ║ │
│║ their first album literally blowing me away, and ║ │
│║ their originality was tangible back then, in ║ │
│║ showing a very untraditional mix of Thrashy ║ │
│║ guitar with many layers of keyboards, asymmetric ║ │
│║ patterns and load of harmonies the whole ║ │
│║ enhanced by a powerful, organic and genuine ║ │
│║ vocals of the great Terence Holler. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The time is running fast, the path wasnÆt always ║ │
│║ easy for Holler and his musical partner Eugene ║ │
│║ Simone, many turmoils and a lot of change in the ║ │
│║ lineup, also in the management team / Records ║ │
│║ company, some ups and some letdown. ôTasting The ║ │
│║ Tearsö is their ninth studio album and IÆm happy ║ │
│║ to say that is a great return to shape, a ║ │
│║ restoration of the more classic ELDRITCH sound ║ │
│║ signature with a lot of dark mood and a ║ │
│║ particular depth in the atmospheres but with a ║ │
│║ constant melodic target enhanced by this ║ │
│║ omnipresent bubbling keys, overwhelmed by the ║ │
│║ heaviness of the guitar duet superbly ║ │
│║ incorporated in homogeneity by the new guru of ║ │
│║ the sound in Italy Mr. Simone Mularoni (also an ║ │
│║ amazing lead guitar player with DGM / EMPYRIOS) ║ │
│║ at Domination Studios in San Marino. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The more harsh shades & the Techno-Thrash ║ │
│║ influences, once displayed in the very ║ │
│║ underrated Metal Blade RecordÆs "Reverse" (2001) ║ │
│║ are barely seen now (except in the harmonic ║ │
│║ weirdness of "Love From a Stone"), as I said ║ │
│║ before, the style is more Prog Metal focused on ║ │
│║ the melodic side with a clear keyboards driven ║ │
│║ prominence, and maybe a little more experimental ║ │
│║ flavor (ôDonÆt Listenö), HollerÆs vocals are as ║ │
│║ unique as ever. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The track listing is clever in its construction, ║ │
│║ flowing perfectly with mastery from ultra-heavy ║ │
│║ chromatic riffage (ôInside Youö / ôCloudsö / ║ │
│║ öSomething Strongö) to a more controlled pace ║ │
│║ (ôThe Tradeö / öIrisö) with some more commercial ║ │
│║ stints and delicate touch, like the fine ôAlone ║ │
│║ Againö or the majestic ôWaiting For Somethingö ║ │
│║ and also enhanced in the tangled fills in the ║ │
│║ six minutes long title track or the catchy ║ │
│║ ôSeeds Of Loveö with some additional elements, ║ │
│║ more melancholic and an introspective feeling ║ │
│║ demonstration with a few splendid piano parts . ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ But before the CD draws to the end, another ║ │
│║ piece of choice is waiting with an unexpected ║ │
│║ cover of the ôRage For Orderö classic tune ôI ║ │
│║ Will Rememberö originally created by ║ │
│║ QUEENSRYCHE, this rendition is courageous and ║ │
│║ refer more to the version once heard in the MTV ║ │
│║ unplugged session than the regular album ║ │
│║ version, not an easy task and finally itÆs a ║ │
│║ smart move and the best way to close this ║ │
│║ terrific records. ║ │
