Eternal Silence’s album, Timegate Anathema is at its best when it frees itself from its influences and finds its own footing. It’s biggest problem is that it sounds too much like its influences and therefore dated in a genre that is constantly innovating. Timegate Anathema sounds bold and creative, breaking traditions and carving new paths when it lands what it wants. Ultimately, Eternal Silence is a band with all the right chemistry to make something truly incredibly. They just have to break free of their own comfort and dare to be big. Tracks like Glide in the Air prove that they have the passion and the drive to do so and My Soul Sad Until Death almost reaches that big theater sound they could promote on touring. I don’t think this band is bad by any means, in fact I think they’re rather good and I feel that they are passionate, so I encourage them to keep on going and keep on exploring that next level. It’s hard not to be motivated by this band as songs like Heart of Lead and Lonely both sound excellent. If you’re into symphonic metal, and you have an extra hour to spare this band is worth a listen. I think if anything else to enjoy a band that is more creative than most but sticking to its roots at the same time. This is a blessing and a curse for them, and I firmly believe that they will eventually reach that level they desire. Be brave guys, I believe in ya.
