These Germans cannot convince me in total so far. But with their conceptual album Mirror Of Creation TOMORROW’S EVE are definitive heading towards the right direction – that’s for sure. Prog-Power-Metal on a highly skilful and ambitious level is being presented, although in my point of view the prog-parts are being used in a too excessive way. I am not talking about the technical side, however, but what I dislike about TOMORROW’S EVE’s style is their way of composing songs that are all between 7 and 11 mins. of length. This is making Mirror Of Creation a very hard-to-listen and straining CD where I am missing catchy tunes from time to time. It’s a pity, ‘cause basically the material is very strong and versatile and presents a lot of cool riffing. Especially the occasional double-bass-industrial-attacks are being weaved properly into the song and ensuring the band’s own touch. Furthermore I’d like to point out the playing time of more than 70 mins. where a lot of other acts can take a leaf out of. Should TOMORROW’S EVE be able to become a bit more compact and throw some of their pathos overboard the next album could become a real strong one! Everyone listening to acts like Dream Theater should definitely give this band a try.
