Info:
The music could be described as an hybrid of Children Of Bodom (for the melodic parts / tempo changes) with In Flames (aggressivity) and of course some twists then and there that makes ETOS (Eternal Tears...) an original band with a sound of it's own. The music drift sometimes between death and black metal... and I must say that some of the black metal moments tend to be too "noisy" for me. When the instruments melt to make a unique sound and melody disappear, that's where I use the word noisy, I don't mean to be insulting, but just to explain you instead where my limits are in these styles (black/death/gothic/...). So fortunately the music is more melodic than everything else and these moments appears only a few seconds on a couple of tracks. Guitars riffs and solos are excellent and remind me Sonata Arctica or Stratovarius. The vocal is a mix of In Flames and Brimstone I would say, so a screamy guttural voice.
