Synopsis

Product Description
FANTASTIC MELODIC POWER METAL WITH SOME PROGRESSIVE TOUCHES! ETERNAL FLIGHT features lead vocal Gérard Fois (ex Dream Child signed in 1999 by Metal Blade Records !), drum expert Arnaud Gorbaty (from Alkemyst 1st album signed to Nuclear Blast !) and the talented instrument wizardry of Christophe Offredi (Lead guitars), Nicolas Jean Pierre (Bass) and Sébastien Vibert (Keys) becoming one of the best selling acts on the label, outselling many of their peers releases. With a solid basis this strong and creative line-up E.T. continued working on their follow up album Under The Sign Of Will , driven by the same will to produce a great sounding/looking package and yet remain playing live shows, interviews and gaining new fans through the net (myspace among others) in the USA and Canada This melodic Power/prog Metal band is based in Annecy, France (Near Switzerland / Italy) was formed in February 2001 around Gérard Fois an experienced singer known for his previous work on two albums with DREAM CHILD ( Metal Blade Records). During which time he teamed up with guitarist Christophe Offredi and bass player Nicolas Jean Pierre and drummer Arnaud Gorbaty (playing with ALKEMYST ( Nuclear Blast). ETERNAL FLIGHT is an Amazingly talented technical Power Metal band, displaying progressive elements, musicality and much power, Gérard vocals sounds a little like Bruce Dickenson, but also having much of his own flavor as well. The songs are technical but not overly so, unlike many of the latest prog-power shred albums released as of late, this album is not filled with mindless wankery, rather lush with well written passages and some great tasteful flash where it should be and played to perfection. _Ad the bands myspace page to your friends.
 

CD Reviews

Solid Melodic Metal!
A. Yarborough | Orlando, FL | 11/14/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Eternal Flight are a great 5-piece melodic prog/power metal band from France, featuring former Dream Child vocalist Gerard Fois. In my opinion, Fois' vocals are the selling point for this CD, and the melodies/choruses here are particularly enjoyable throughout. That's not to say the music isn't enjoyable either! The band mixes technical and prog elements into the tunes, but thankfully maintains a straight-ahead pounding metal approach to the songs. The production is great as well. EF have a sound all their own, but I can hear some Queensryche, Symphony X, and possibly Labyrinth influences. Definitely worth the investment!"
Great French metal

"Having bought this when it first came out, my thoughts were mixed at first. As I heard this more this it is a fantastic cd. The first track is a smoker when great riffs and when combined with the vocals and melodies it's hard to not turn it up.

Dark Society upon the opening riff has an Arabic feel to it which flows throughout the the song.

Under The Sign Of Will I'd say the vocals are the strong point of the song, they flow evenly through this song.

The Forgotten Song, starts out with a slow lead and then progresses into great guitar leads and vocals slowly highlight this song with melodies adding to it.

Throughtout the cd it flows like this the way melodic power metal should be with progressive overtones added. The highlights are the vocals which make this a great cd!"
