Reternity
A Test Of Shadows
After the respectable success of their debut album "Facing the Demon" in summer 2019 and several successful club shows and festivals, the creative duo Stefan Zorner / Carsten Sauter present "A Test of Shadows", a worthy and even stronger successor in all respects. With Oskar Schmidt, Suat Goren and Dieter Schenk the line-up has been strengthened in the meantime with friends to make RETERNITY live and in the studio a constant. On " A Test Of Shadows" the band has once again played out their strengths like the multi-faceted songwriting, packed in compact songs without unnecessary lengths, the melodic and expressive vocals of Zorner, as well as the strong, unspent riffs of Sauter. As with the predecessor, the musical spectrum ranges from hommages to the Speed and Thrash of the blissful 80s to heavy and danceable midtempo hymns and neck-breakers. In addition to an impressive half-ballad ("A Grave Called Home"), the intimate piano number "Stranded" (which was created in collaboration with the jazz musician Aljoscha Crema) also adds new facets to the Swabians' new album.
