Bio:

Eternity's End was founded in 2014 by guitarist and songwriter Christian Muenzner. Although it is a completely new band, each member has a long history in the metal scene, all having worked with successful, well respected bands and having appeared on a variety of world wide well acknowledged albums.The band recorded their upcoming debut album "The Fire Within" in 2015, the album was mixed, mastered and co-produced by Per Nilsson (Scar Symmetry) and will be released in March 2016.The music on "The Fire Within" is a blend of 90's European power metal, 80's neoclassical guitar&keyboard wizardry, powerful classic metal vocals, thrashy riffing, progressive elements and a combination of Dio-esque dark, fantasy inspired lyrics and philosophic themes. Speed, aggression, virtuoso musicianship, epic melodies and memorable songwriting with catchy hooks are the cornerstones of the band's sound.

Album:

ETERNITY'S END is the realization of a vision that Christian Muenzner, well known in his capacity as guitarist extraordinaire, solo artist, special guest on many albums and as member of bands like Alkaloid, Necrophagist, Obscura and Paradox, had since many years of forming his very own band in order to return to the style of music that was his first love and, to this day, is his biggest passion ... Aggressive, neoclassical power metal with a progressive twist and with a powerful and classic metal vocalist! And at end of 2013, he set out to make this vision into reality and started to write on matching song material. With bass player Linus Klausenitzer (Obscura, Alkaloid) and drummer Hannes Grossmann (Alkaloid, Blotted Science, solo, ex Necrophagist, ex Obscura), the rhythm section was quickly found and with virtuoso Jimmy Pitts (The Fractured Dimension, Spastic Ink), a blessed with talent keyboardist has been obliged. After checking out several different singers, the right man for this sophisticated act of defiance was found at the beginning of 2015 in Ian Parry, who is best known for his stunning work with Elegy, Ayeron, Consortium Project and who also has released a couple of solo albums. A high-profile band was complete and ready to strike!"The Fire Within" was recorded between January and April 2015, co-produced, mixed and mastered by award winning producer Per Nilsson (also known in the whole metal scene as guitar player and producer of Swedish melodic death metal institution Scar Symmetry), who gave the disc the finishing touch. So what you may expect? A majestic and heavy power metal album, filled to the brim with heavy riffs, neo-classical chord progressions, gifted vocals, big choirs, guitar and keyboard solos at their best, big orchestrations and epic melodies. In short: A new star will rise on neo-classical progressive power metal's heaven! With this debut album, ETERNITY'S END will for sure have a lasting influence on a musical genre.All music, lyrics and vocal melodies written by Christian Muenzner, except „White Lies“, music by Christian Muenzner, lyrics and vocal melodies by Ian Parry• Produced by Christian Muenzner & Per Nilsson• Mixed & Mastered by Per Nilsson• Additional keyboard arrangements and first keyboard solo on „The Hourglass“ by Per Nilsson• Backing vocals and choirs by Ian Parry, Per Nilsson, Ronny Hemlin, Daniel Palmqvist, Lars G Persson, Eva Svensk, Kattis Larsson, Rebecca Warldén, Christian Muenzner, Erik Larsson, Caroline Nilsson, Therése Thomsson, Jonas Lindh, Rikard Jansson• Backing vocals and choirs arranged by Per Nilsson, Ian Parry and Christian Muenzner• Album artwork by Caio Caldas, Logo design, typography & layout by Götz Morgenschweis

Eternity's End - Unyielding (Japan Edition) (2018)

Bio:

Eternity's End was founded in 2014 by guitarist and songwriter Christian Muenzner. Although it is a completely new band, each member has a long history in the metal scene, all having worked with successful, well respected bands and having appeared on a variety of world wide well acknowledged albums.The band recorded their upcoming debut album "The Fire Within" in 2015, the album was mixed, mastered and co-produced by Per Nilsson (Scar Symmetry) and will be released in March 2016.The music on "The Fire Within" is a blend of 90's European power metal, 80's neoclassical guitar&keyboard wizardry, powerful classic metal vocals, thrashy riffing, progressive elements and a combination of Dio-esque dark, fantasy inspired lyrics and philosophic themes. Speed, aggression, virtuoso musicianship, epic melodies and memorable songwriting with catchy hooks are the cornerstones of the band's sound.

Album:

At the eleventh hour of 2018 – quietly but swiftly – a supergroup featuring former members of those horrible (not) bands Obscura and Necrophagist was set to embark their second effort through the merciless world of power metal. The monster Hannes Grossmann (drums, Alkaloid, Hate Eternal, Howling Sycamore and many others), guitar virtuoso Christian Münzner (Alkaloid, ex-Majesty, ex-Obscura) and competent keyboardist Jimmy Pitts joined forces once again, this time around accompanied by Phil Tougas (guitars Chthe’ilist, Zealotry), the multi-faceted Mike LePond (bass, Symphony X, Ross the Boss, Mike Lepond’s Silent Assassins) and my countryman Iuri Sanson (vocals, Hibria) to bring ‘Unyielding’, to life.Their first album with Ian Parry (vocals, Elegy) was absolutely killer, so would these dudes be able to top such a massive effort with significant changes in the lineup? Well, the answer comes quickly with a thunderous, grand beginning in “Into Timeless Realms”, a heavy, powerful display of classic euro-centered power metal.Iuri’s howling vocals match Grossmann and Münzner’s instrumental speed perfectly, as he screams throughout the verses and chorus easier than taking candy from a baby, all while LePond’s magical fingers pound the bass non-stop and Pitts’ wizardry in the melodic lines put the icing on this insanely beautiful start to an album.“Cyclopean Force” showcases the neoclassical side of the sextet with virtuous songwriting and prolific execution. The track exhales an early Symphony X vibe without losing the pure power metal essence.When things get more rythmic and heavier, like in “Blood Brothers (The Oath)”, classics like Metalium’s ‘Millennium Metal – Chapter One’ (1999) come to mind, while when melodic and speedier lines are in place such as in “Under Crimson Moonlight”, memories of Lost Horizon’s ‘A Flame to the Ground Beneath’ (2003) will pop in your head. This happens during the whole course of the album, from showcases of technique à la Cacophony and Yngwie Malmsteen to more brutal moments akin of Stormwarrior and even Obscura. Hell, there are even some Orden Ogan-esque parts on “Triumphant Ascent”.Every track here feels in their right place and sufficiently balanced between velocity and cadency, even the surprisingly good instrumental “Dreaming of Cimmerian Shadows”. Less fruity, more direct approaches like “Necromantic Worship” are also present, giving the experience a more than welcomed heterogeneous nature, especially when talking about power metal, which can be overwhelmingly uninspired at times.There isn’t a single filler here, rest assured. The title track, “Horizonless”, the epic closer “Beyond the Gates of Salvation” and even the bonus track “The Arsenal” were also crafted with extreme caution and executed in an organic and clearly passionate form.Production-wise the record is flawless, with Tougas at the production helm and legend Piet Sielck (Iron Savior) co-producing, mixing, engineering and mastering the sound, which is always a great thing. Piet also contributed in the vocal choirs and lead vocals for “The Arsenal”, while Yenz Leonhardt (ex-Iron Sabvior, ex-Stormwarrior) and Renato Osório (ex-Hibria, Magician) complete the choir for the choruses in the album.With so many good musicians and metalheads united in one place, it’s hard not to make a memorable effort. To answer my question earlier in the review, Eternity’s End managed not only to match the quality of ‘The Fire Within’ (2016), but surpass it in every way possible.Ace execution, impressive songwriting and passionate playing are what make ‘Unyielding’ a monster of an album, and worthy of every respect and praise. Had it came out earlier in the year, it would have definitely been on my top 5 power metal records of 2018, without a doubt; All in all, it’s actually pretty simple: if you love power metal, you can’t miss this album, period.

Album:

Formed in 2014 by guitarist and songwriter Christian Muenzner (Obscura, Paradox, Alkaloid, ex-Necrophagist), ETERNITY’S END, with a refreshed line up onboard, set to work on what would become Embers Of War. The album features twin guitar solos reminiscent of Racer X and Cacophony, and bombastic choruses in the vein of Iron Savior and Blind Guardian. Combined with theatrics and story-telling chops that would make King Diamond proud, the results are nothing short of fantastical.With aggressive riffing, duelling guitars, Hannes Grossmann’s fast paced technical drumming, high pitched vocals and big epic choirs, Embers of War bears the hallmarks of a future classic of the genre. ETERNITY’S END set out to embrace all the over-the-top elements of power metal and blend them with enough technicality and nods towards classic heavy metal to make an album irresistible to headbangers around the globe.
