Exit To Eternity consider themselves having influences from metal gods Metallica and Iron Maiden, but don't let the superior combination fool you. With angry, yet playful guitar rhythms and beats similar to that annoying garage band sound, they're not worth your ears. . According to band, their written lyrics "will blow everyone away"...yeah away from their CD, that is. Hearing Carmine's unappealing and lifeless voice roar on my radio is not my ideal definition of music.
Carmine simply roars and murmurs the so-called lyrics that will put this band on the map. Carmine also tends to growl like a dying dog at unexpected moments within the tracks, leaving a huge question mark floating on my head. Yes, their beats are surely alive with pure rage, but why do I feel a sense of wanting to break this CD apart? On "Kristalnadat," drums are heard more, while guitars less. This wouldn't seem a big deal if their music didn't sound dragging and dying. Surely, it surprises me and enlivens, but it’s murdered by Carmine's meaningless growling. It's simply ear-bleeding. "From the Depths" only gets worse, slowly dying in a coma with a loud bam of hardcore drums. As always, vocals are no relief, but melody is erratic and fun to bang your head to. "No More" uses the talents of Dmitriy Shnaydman's drumming skills to save this track. The tragedy of their final song is its being a repetition of their previous track "From the Depths," a big mistake that's haunting "Nu Metal" bands heard on the radio. If you're an upcoming band, stand out in a positive way, rather than follow the mistake of soon to be fallen angels. To sum things up, this wannabe Metallica will not win your cash over. It may be energetic, but their beats follow similarities, vocals are dull, lyrics are unheard, and they had more band members exiting than Destiny's Child. Don't waste time with them.
