Info:

Germany’s Eternal Reign come back to the scene, a lengthy 5 year wait between albums as we last heard from them with 2005‘s “Forbidden Path”. It’s understandable though in today’s economy - fewer and fewer acts on the independent label level are able to make a living solely from recording and touring, so you have to expect that bands can’t devote as much time to their craft as they would desire. At least when it comes to this melodic, traditional oriented group, every album gives us plenty to enjoy and savor in the moment and beyond.

Formerly known as PERFECT CRIME, the German based band is back under the new name ETERNAL REIGN. With the addition of vocalist Dirk Stuhmer and keyboardist BjornMeyer, the bands’ debut “Forbidden Path” is a good first effort with the new line-up.
At first listen, ETERNAL REIGN reminds me of the early QUEENSRYCHE EP with more than just a touch of MAIDEN. This is a heavy, heavy CD and I can see where the band was trying to go as far as an “artistic” direction but it seems to just fall a little short. Songs like “Light the Light,” “Set The Sails,” “Les Reves En Plastique” and the title track “Forbidden Path” are energetic, high-powered tracks that go straight for the throat. You can hear the QUEENSRYCHE-ish guitar harmonies and solos as well as the DICKINSON/ TATE style of vocals but Stuhmer, although a very good vocalist, just doesn’t have the “chops” to match up and push it to that next level.
