(Melodic Power Metal) Eyes of Shiva - Дискография ( 2004 ; 2006 - 2CD :2004 - Eyes of Soul 2006 - Deep), MP3, 320 kbps CBR

The double-bass-driven quasi opener “Eagle Of The Sun“ convinces with its damn high catchiness and melody as well as its chorus, the first proof for the quality of the band and the voice of fronter Andrй Ferrari, which at times reaches the quite high regions and only gets hindered by the mix here and there, putting it a bit too far into the music, because in terms of strength of the voice Andrй is quite far already. Comparably speedy, though, is only closer “Just A Miracle“, the rest has quite a few different atmosphere.

But I like EYES OF SHIVA best, when they bring in their Brazilian roots into the game, as on the great “Lampiгo“, where they do not only excel with the variable structure, but also use accordion, flute and tribal rhythms or the great title track, which starts out with Folk instruments and continues to use those throughout the song, relatively simple, but very effective means to differ. Also absolutely on the plus side we have “Psychos Of The Millennium“, which in the vocals and structure bear SONATA ARCTICA in it and can fully convince as well!

EYES OF SHIVA do not reach the spheres of bands such as ANGRA or SHAMAN yet, but “Eyes Of Soul” definitely show a lot of potential. The skills of the guys are beyond criticism, they are willing to incorporate their Brazilian roots and that they can write songs is pretty obvious, too. Now they “just” have to back up this strong debut with an at least equally strong follow-up and they are on a very good way into the South American elite.
