Info:
''Eternal Black Dawn'' is a conscious and obvious attempt to recreate the sound of the Omen of old, and it isn't bad for all that. The efforts to make this sound vintage are impressive: New singer Kevin Goocher sounds a lot like JD - and the 'medley' track of bits of old songs shows he could sound even more like him if he wanted to – and even the production is similar to the old albums, right down to the lead tone. So if you didn't know the old stuff, you could be fooled into thinking this was it – it's that close. There are some cool songs on here, like the title cut, "1000 Year Reign" and "King of the Seven Seas", and the album as a whole is generally fun, with no tracks you want to skip. But there are no songs as good as "Teeth of the Hydra" or "Hell's Gates", and the album never really gets kicking. The performances are good, the songs are good, but there is just something a bit laid-back about the whole thing.
