Eternal Storm – Come the Tide (Review)
Eternal Storm are a melodic death metal band from Spain and this is their debut album.
The band’s first release in 2013 – From the Ashes – showed a lot of promise, and they then followed this up in 2014 with a split that contributed a single track, showing even more promise.

Eternal Storm – Elemental Nightmares V – Split with Kaos Vortex, Will of the Ancients and Stortregn (Review)
Eternal Storm are from Spain and this is their latest release. They play Melodic Death Metal.
I enjoyed their début EP, so was looking forward to hearing this new track.
The song starts out fast with a slight Blackened feel to the riffs. Melodic leads soon break out before the track has a mellow moment. I’m reminded of bands like Dark Tranquillity, Insomnium, In Flames, At the Gates, Opeth, etc.
The song is well recorded and the band can clearly play well. The main solo is played like liquid and the musicianship in general is of a high standard.
Vocally we get a mix of deep growls and higher screams, sometimes at the same time. There’s also a guest spot from the singer of Valtari to spice things up.
The song has a good feel to it and does pretty much everything you would want a Melodic Death Metal song to do. The band mix aggression and lighter parts well, and I particularly enjoy the slower end section after the guitar solo, where it initially relaxes before building up in intensity with a mournful lead just under the surface.
This bodes well for a future début album. Bring it on!
