Eruption (Slovenian band)

Eruption is a Slovenian power/thrash metal band.

Reception

Their debut album Lifeless Paradise (2009) has been described as a thrash metal album with equal parts of Bay Area and Teutonic influence. Eruption then introduced more "versatility" on Tenses Collide (2012).[1] On Cloaks of Oblivion (2017), Eruption "float between speed, power, and progressive thrash riffing and tempos", according to Dead Rhetoric who bestowed a 9 out of 10 grade on the album.[2] Vampster called Cloaks of Oblivion "a load of power thrash that I absolutely love", a "highlight", "a fantastic job" and "a magnificent album". Being "absolutely top-notch in their musicianship", the guitarists were "virtuosic" and the vocals "deserve special mention". The production was also "superb" and "meets the highest standards".[3]

Powermetal.de gave 7.5, summarizing: "While there's still room for improvement in terms of originality and hooks, Eruption has undoubtedly delivered a fine and appealing album!". The main strengths were "skull-splitting riffs, the delicate, powerful melodies and memorable vocal passages truly stand out"..[4] Heavymetal.dk landed on a 7. Eruption did not present the largest showing of originality, but had "its individual touch" as well as solid technical quality. "Fat riffs, catchy melodies and a good production are the clear strengths of this output", though the album lacked the highest peaks and the "wow" factor.[5]

Five years later, Eruption followed with Tellurian Rupture. Rock Hard found it worthy of 7 out of 10 points.[6] Norway's Scream Magazine gave 5 of 6, noting that Eruption's thrash metal was "very watered-down" with heavy metal, though this made "the style of the band interesting". The elements of heavy metal reminded the reviewer of Sanctuary. Klemen Kalin "sings like a hero", and the guitar work was also commendable.[7] Tellurian Rupture was also eleventh in the "pearls of 2022" list compiled by Powermetal.de's reviewer Holger Andrae.[8]
