Review by T. Mason Gilbert

Retrofuture by Eternal Flight: A Wild Ride Through Metal Mayhem Alright, let’s talk about Retrofuture by Eternal Flight. This German metal powerhouse dropped this beast of an album back in 2017 under Massacre Records, and it's been on my radar ever since. If you're into Power Metal and Heavy Metal with a side of raw energy, this one’s for you. It’s not perfect, but damn if it doesn’t grab your attention. The album kicks off with some serious bangers, but two tracks really stuck with me: “Angels of Violence” and “Nightmare King II.” First up, “Angels of Violence.” The riffs hit like a freight train, and the vocals are just unhinged enough to make you feel like you’re at a live show, even if you’re just blasting it through your headphones. There’s this moment where the guitar solo takes over—it’s so ridiculously flashy, but in the best way possible. It’s the kind of track that makes you wanna throw your fist in the air and scream along, even if your neighbors hate you for it. Then there’s “Nightmare King II,” which feels like a darker, moodier cousin of the rest of the album. The pacing is slower (well, slower for these guys), and it builds up this eerie vibe before exploding into chaos. I remember thinking, “Man, this would be an epic soundtrack for storming a castle or something.” The lyrics have this mythic, larger-than-life quality that fits perfectly with the soaring vocals and relentless drums. Honestly, every time it comes on, I get sucked right back in. Now, quick shoutout to the rest of the album—tracks like “Sinner” and “Danger Calling” keep the energy sky-high, while “The Journey” throws in a bit of variety to break things up. And yeah, they do repeat a couple of songs (Routine of Darkness and Ante-Dote), which feels a little odd, but hey, maybe they just really wanted you to hear those again. What’s wild about Retrofuture is how it blends old-school metal vibes with this futuristic twist—hence the name, I guess. It’s like Eternal Flight is saying, “Yeah, we respect the classics, but we’re here to shake things up too.” And honestly? They pull it off. Sure, some moments feel a bit over-the-top, but isn’t that what metal’s all about? So, wrapping this up... Listening to Retrofuture feels like stepping into a time machine that’s been hijacked by a bunch of leather-clad warriors from another dimension. It’s chaotic, it’s loud, and it’s a whole lot of fun. If you’re looking for something polished and radio-friendly, this ain’t it. But if you want an album that’ll leave you sweaty, headbanging, and maybe questioning your life choices, give this one a spin. Oh, and don’t blame me when your cat hides under the couch. Final thought: Who knew mixing retro and future could sound so… well, heavy?

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know? The album *Retrofuture* by Eternal Flight, released in 2017, is a powerhouse of heavy and power metal vibes. It’s packed with intense tracks like "Angels of Violence" and "Nightmare King II." Interestingly, some songs, like "Routine of Darkness" and "Ante-Dote," appear twice on the album, almost like a nod to old-school metal traditions. Germany definitely brought the heat with this one under Massacre Records!

The band's 2017 album, Retrofuture, is a rehash of their previous ones.
