│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I'm not surprised that I've never heard of ║ │
│║ vocalist, guitarist, composer, and producer ║ │
│║ Michael Schinkel or his band, Eternal Flame. ║ │
│║ Mostly known in Germany and the larger European ║ │
│║ continent, the band has not released an album ║ │
│║ since 2002's King Of The King. Encouraged by ║ │
│║ fans, Schinkel began working on a new album in ║ │
│║ 2012. The result is Smoke On The Mountain, which ║ │
│║ features on vocals, besides Schinkel himself, ║ │
│║ Mark Boals (ex Yngwie Malmsteen and Ring of ║ │
│║ Fire) and Goran Edman (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen and ║ │
│║ John Norum). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Essentially, Schinkel's style is melodic heavy ║ │
│║ metal, wrapped in some proper rock groove, with ║ │
│║ a focus on his voice and skillful neo-classical ║ │
│║ guitar work. As a vocalist, Schinkel is a solid ║ │
│║ singer, with a timbre that blends both melodic ║ │
│║ hard rock and heavy metal voices. Sometimes he ║ │
│║ can sound passionate and soulful as within the ║ │
│║ fine ballad, You Can Save Me, one of the best ║ │
│║ songs here. As a guitarist, Schinkel works from ║ │
│║ the Yngwie Malmsteen neo-classical textbook, ║ │
│║ ripping off soaring solos throughout. His guitar ║ │
│║ style may be the reason he choose both Boals and ║ │
│║ Edman as guest vocalists, as they both sang for ║ │
│║ Malmsteen. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ For some song highlights, first, the title cut ║ │
│║ is not a cover of the Deep Purple classic. ║ │
│║ Rather, it's full tilt charging power metal with ║ │
│║ Mark Boals on vocals. Boals returns on I Believe ║ │
│║ In This Miracle, something of melodic metal ║ │
│║ anthem with quick pacing, good groove, and ║ │
│║ catchy refrain. Goran Edman appears on Got A ║ │
│║ Rock & Roll Fever, essentially a heavy metal ║ │
│║ rocker with a big beat and sharp riffs. Later, ║ │
│║ Edman is heard on Tease My Love, simply more ║ │
│║ melodic metal. For my money the best metal ║ │
│║ rocker here is Whatcha Gonna Do, thanks to the ║ │
│║ catchy riffs, rock groove, memorable refrain, ║ │
│║ and Schinkel's fine vocal performance. For ║ │
│║ something a bit lighter in parts look to ║ │
│║ Dreaming, yet bristling with Schinkel's fret ║ │
│║ board magic. More guitar magic closes the album ║ │
│║ with the instrumental Close To The End. In the ║ │
│║ end, Smoke On The Mountain marks a fine return ║ │
│║ to form for Michael Schinkel and Eternal Flame. ║ │
│║ If you are fan of the band, or simply love neo- ║ │
│║ classical melodic heavy metal, you should get ║ │
│║ this album. Recommended. ║ │
