Description/Reviews: 

Like it's predecessor Underlying Issues, it features an abundance of sharp, dense, even thrashy riffage, blistering solos, a touch of synths for symphonic embellishment, and a heavy thundering rhythm section for power metal pacing. All these create a massive wall of sound for every song. If anything Eldritch is defined by the twin guitar presence in the riffs and solos. The latter are abundant and possibly the best part of any Eldritch song.

Description/Reviews: 

...Underlying Issues is heavier, dense, maybe even channeling their darker angle from their early years. What is clearly notable from the start, and throughout, is the abundance of riffage, powerful and relentless. Some may listen and find a depth and blister akin to thrash metal. These things, in turn, are wrapped up in the brisk pace of power metal. However, even when the tempo is more moderate, as with All And More, Eldritch keeps the thumping heaviness in high gear. Even so, underneath and weaving its way through the songs is melody and harmony. Though the guitars are brisk and sharp, there's still harmony.

Description/Reviews: 

The album kicks off with Inside You, a moody and catchy headbanger with a soaring melodic chorus, and lots of tasty riffs courtesy of the guitar duo of Eugene Simone and Rudj Ginanneschi. The title track features the keyboard wizardy of Gabriele Caselli overlapping the thrash metal machine gun drumming of Rafahell Dridge with melody. The mood takes on a melancholy and darker tone with Alone Again. The band combines the clean guitar tones with keyboards and Holler’s melodic voice combined with superb vocal harmonies. Based on the lyrical content, Waiting For Someone is a song about loneliness and the search for love. The music is heavy and progressive with plenty of melody and guitar crunch.
