When I got this cd out of my mailbox I first took a good look at its cover. 'The artwork looks like a Doro or Warlock cover' was my first impression. and I was right, the cover was designed by Geoffrey Gillespie, who was responsible for most of the Doro and Warlock artwork.

I had my doubts, because I'm not really a Doro fan.

I put the record into my cd-player and I was positively surprised!: it was heavy metal, no... progressive heavy metal. And pretty good progressive heavy metal I must say!

Why didn't I know this band before? The answer to that is quite simple: Progressive Rage is their first cd. And I surely hope it isn't their last one.

A bell will ring for some people: Eternal Flight? Sounds familiar... Indeed, Eternal Flight is also a song of the first cd of the French heavy metal band Dream Child, whose singer was G�rard Fois. Dream Child made three albums and after a line-up change, G�rard Fois changed the name into Eternal Flight.

The production is great, just like the songs. Heavy riffs combined with bombastic parts and ballad-like stuff. The musicians surely know how to play their instruments. And the vocals are great. Damn these songs are catchy!
First I thought it would be an Italian or German band, but I was wrong: Eternal Flight is from France. I don't know many French bands, but this band surely made quite an impression on me.
