Today’s entry focuses on a powerhouse collaborative project from the world of melodic heavy metal. We are looking at the debut album “Eternal Reign” by Martin Simson’s Destroyer Of Death, released on February 16, 2024. This 12-inch vinyl LP was issued via Jono / Sound Pollution / Martin Simson Music with the catalog number MSM002LP.
An All-Star Metal Project
Rob Rock (Impellitteri): Delivers what fans are calling his best vocal performance in years on the majority of the tracks. CJ Grimmark (Narnia): Handles lead and rhythm guitars, keyboards, and production, providing the album’s sonic backbone with “serious guitar fireworks.” Jørn Lande: The legendary Norwegian vocalist lends his voice to the standout track “Master Of All” (included here in an extended version) and its reprise. Anders Johansson (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, HammerFall) & Anders Köllerfors: Provide the thunderous drumming. Rex Carroll (Whitecross): Makes a special guest appearance with a guitar solo on “Rapture.”Led by American bassist and executive producer Martin Simson, this project serves as a gathering of some of the most respected names in the melodic and Christian metal scenes. The lineup is nothing short of spectacular:
Classic Heavy Metal Power
Musically, Eternal Reign is a love letter to classic, melodic heavy metal. It draws favorable comparisons to giants like Dokken, early Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden. The album is packed with strong songwriting, catchy choruses, and high-level musicianship, characterized by crunching riffs and soaring vocals. Tracks like “Holy Ground,” “Dragon Defeated,” and the title track exemplify this powerful, anthemic style.
Collector’s Note
This release is a limited edition pressing on 180g black vinyl, ensuring a high-quality listening experience. It features remixed and remastered versions of tracks that were previously released as digital singles, making this the definitive physical presentation of the project’s work.
MSM002LP is a must-have for fans of Rob Rock, Narnia, and high-quality, traditional power metal, capturing a modern “supergroup” delivering a timeless sound.
