Info:
Originally released in 1995, Seeds of Rage was the debut full-length album from Italian progressive/power metal band Eldritch. They’re one of the lesser-known bands in that scene compared to bands like Labyrinth or Rhapsody, but they put out a series of really impressive releases.
Like most bands entering the progressive metal arena in the early to mid-90s, Eldritch’s early sound owes a lot to Dream Theater and Fates Warning. It’s technical with lots of keys, but there’s also a hint of the power metal sounds that Angra and Stratovarius were pushing at the time. The songwriting isn’t as polished as later Eldritch releases, but you can hear the band’s talent and potential in tracks like “Chains,” “Ultimate Solution” and “Blind Promise.” Even in the beginning Terence Holler’s vocals stand out.
