Album Description2007 - the Italian quintet Eldritch releases its seventh studio album Blackenday, which will raise the bar for their future work once again. Eldritch, without a doubt Italy's best-known Melodic Power/Techno Thrash band, make a statement with Blackenday: obviously, they don't get tempted by trends or short-lived influences and push through their "own musical thing". Meaning: competent linking of high class song structures with partially very catchy tunes, thunderous passages for several voices and the rampant drive to press the songs forward with pushy guitar work. Blackenday contains the most mature song material the Italians have delivered so far, self-confident, Eldritch swing back and forth between uncompromising guitar attacks and incredibly well-balanced choruses.
