Genre: progressive metal

The debut full length album by Zero Illusions, "Enter Eternity" offers heavy metal music which combines the complexities and sophistication of progressive metal with the energy and groove of straight hard rock and classic metal. The trademark strategy, which works quite well, is to take groove riffs or other types of riffage which draw more on classic metal and hard rock, and twist them a bit so that they a played in odd time signatures rather than your run-of-the-mill 4/4 measure.

The production on this album, compared to the band's forthcoming "Oblivion" is a bit more polished, and Björn Aking's singing is a bit more conservative, but I still think that Zero Illusions manage to maintain some sort of equilibrium between their hard rocking and progressive sides - and then, I am sure, some listeners might consider the more polished production to more professional, too.

This album should appeal to fans of both progressive metal and more conventional hard rock and traditional metal.
