On their current masterpiece Come The Tide ETERNAL STORM celebrate first-class melodic Death Metal with devotion and passion.  But not only that, the mostly excessive, opulent compositions are also inhabited by a progressive spirit, which breaks all genre boundaries and announces deepest soulfulness. Long instrumental passages let the sun rise several times because of their fascinating melody, unusual timbres like those of the saxophone increase the variability. The hardness is not neglected either - everything finally results in an opulent, exciting and always rousing or emotionally touching unity.
The musicians feel comfortable in every tempo region, whereby the ideas simply flow stress-free and artistically valuable. The deeply relaxed piece Through The Wall Of Light Pt.II (Immersion) glides elegantly and harmoniously along and increases with growl singing and wonderful lead guitars to a true guarantee of goose bumps, which inevitably forces an aesthete to his knees. The post-rock end reminds of the famous Klimt 1918 and shows another damn interesting nuance in the work of the band.
Detachment is a bit more violent and direct, but fine leads melt the heart of the music gourmet, while the double bass provides a lot of thrust. In this case, ETERNAL STORM also play the dynamic trump card in a fascinating way and vary the tempo in a perfectly coordinated manner.
You won't find simply knitted catchy tunes with a catchiness factor of 10 on this album, but it is teeming with harmonies to kneel down and artistically appealing, progressive moments that create a wonderfully diverse overall picture.
In the epic Of Winter And Treason a light doomy note resonates and the extremely cool, relaxed atmospheric arc stretches to a moderately aggressive outburst, before the calm interlude of Drifters is subtly modern and wafts spherically along.
The sweeping closing chapter Embracing Waves turns out to be particularly successful, captivating with outstanding vocals, rhythmically stirring riffs, violent growl singing, sensitive tremolo sequences as well as voluptuous prog passages to conclude this deeply moving piece of music (or is it already art?) with a broad-walled finale.
Suggestion: Close your eyes with pleasure and drift away into distant parallel worlds...
