"Song-Sy-Song"-Special zum Eternal Flight Album "Under the sign of will"
von Gérard Fois
(Sänger)
----------------------------------------
Music:
Edge of fire: A fast, direct track in the veins of Vicious Rumours with Carl Albert, with a catchy chorus, while the bridge in the middle is groovy. The guitar solo is done with a thimble and gives originality to the sound!
Dark Society: It shows us in more symphonic, atmospheric moods. Vocals are darker and on the bridge are done in an Halford way, menacing and reaching stratosphere! Nice bass lines and the solos feature a duel between the guitar and the keyboard. Savatage fans should dig this one!
Under the sign of will: Begins with a thundering drums and bass duet. The verse and chorus are aggressive and victorious. The bridge is groovy with a great solo.
The forgotten side: A more melodic song in the vein of Fates Warning meeting Dream Theater.
Deaf, dumb, blind: An up tempo with many changes with a lot of heavy, fast parts featuring an original chorus and a more symphonic, dramatic song end.
The next ones on the list: A shorter, faster song featuring big rifferama, double bass madness and a catchy chorus.
Friends: A softer, melodic approach in the beginning with only voice and acoustic guitar exploding in a really catchy mid-tempo featuring a duet with Emmanuelson from the band Ellipsis.
The curse: A nice fusion of melodic real Metal and progressive tones à la Queensrÿche. Vocals are more dramatic on this one.
Miracle Man: A lot of double bass drum and intense riffing here! Vocals are more epic on this one.
Ghost (with a different soul): The longest song of the album, an epic tunes with two parts performed by every band member in a subtle, melodic, sensitive way. At the same time it’s a really intense mid-tempo!
Lyrics:
The songs are about the pursuit of one’s goal besides adversity (“Edge Of Fire”), the fight of the Morphoenix (the mascot of the band, a creature between a man, a phoenix and Morpheus) against political and religious leaders evil action plotting together against peace in the world in a fictional environment (“Dark society”, “Under the sign of will”), the need to return to nature’s beauty and creation and preserve it (“The forgotten side”), the tendency of the human race to lead toward destruction and apocalypse and not wanting to take the responsibility out of it, always hiding behind religion and searching for scapegoats (“Deaf, dumb, blind”), a society obliged to cannibalism after having erased all the other species (“Next ones on the list”), the friendship and need to preserve personal integrity in a plastic society (“Friends”), a human capable of creating events and tragedies with his mind but unable to control them (“The curse”), a spy- soldier rebelling against hierarchy after having being changed into a bionic man (“Miracle man”), a person witnessing the change of another one because of nightmares and tragedies, the later becoming only a ghost of the person that used to be (“Ghost- with a different soul”).
