Release date: 25/09/2009
Release: CD

Echoes of Eternity is a progressive metal band based in Los Angeles and was founded in 2006 by South Carolina natives Kirk Carrison and Brandon Patton. Later on they met their vocalist Francine Boucher while attending a recording school in Florida and with the addition of a second guitar player, the ball really began to roll.

On February 20th, 2007, Echoes Of Eternity released their debut album called The Forgotten Goddess on Nuclear Blast Records, but only got mixed reviews and didn’t get the attention they really wanted.

Upon hearing their latest album (As shadows burn) you’ll notice why. Every musician’s quest, is to find their own signature “sound” that sounds cool, heavy, energetic and….. But unfortunately the bands sound really isn’t appealing to most people and sounds to digital for me. And although Francine has a beautiful voice, it doesn’t work with the rest of the band.
