You probably won't hear Eternal Voyager on the radio as not just are they still relatively unknown with this being their first release, but their playing is a bit too straight forward with stock metal riffs to pull the music away from its peers. Albeit, these riffs do get spiced up with some good, though modestly played, solos. What makes Eternal Voyager worth a review here, a blog that focuses on things that are anything but stock, are the lyrics. 'Voyager Revelation', 'Holy Warrior', 'Army Of Our Lord', 'New
Jerusalem', 'This Is War' & even the name of the band itself belay
the underlying message of this album. Nothing is hidden behind ear-straining growing so when you hear "we are the soldiers of the army of our lord" or "the new Jerusalem will come" & other such inspirational phrases its hard not to take notice. Their strongest point is the lyrics, but I think that's the point in many ways. This band has a message about the state of the world. & they've got a girl bassist, for those who say girls can't rock, not that gender makes any different. This troupe does rock & are off to a good start & I look forward to hear where they take their sound, & how they might bring the music to the level the lyrics are.
