В этот раз пиратская шхуна под названием Running Wild бросила якорь у какого-то таинственного острова и пираты в поисках добычи сошли на берег – морской тематике посвящены только две песни из одиннадцати – “Blazon Stone” и “Slavery”. Но это остался старый и добрый Running Wild, который мы полюбили еще в далеком 1984 году…

Давно Ragnarok не радовали почитателей норвежского блэка своими новыми творениями. Впрочем, данная группа никогда не штамповала альбомы ежегодно – известно, что эти парни предпочитают качество количеству. Но на сей раз ожидание растянулось на шесть долгих лет. Неудивительно, что за это время музыка их заметно изменилась.Так что же нового предлагают норвежцы? Ragnarok ощутимо снизили частоты. Гитара по традиции выдает очень плотную, но мягкую и немного вялую стену звука. В музыке чувствуется сильное влияние мелодик-блэка, значительно усилившееся по сравнению со, скажем, "Blackdoor Miracle". Весь материал насквозь пронизан различными – изящными и просто красивыми, запоминающимися и не очень – мелодиями.

After two albums that were solidly written and performed but considerably underproduced, Royal Hunt exchanged Danish singer Henrik Brockmann for then-mostly-unknown American D.C. Cooper; this was the first album of any note that Cooper appeared on. The addition of an in-his-prime Cooper and massive production upgrades propel the band to soaring new heights.
Opener "Last Goodbye" immediately cements this fact. Cooper unleashes a soaring vocal performance that's arguably the highlight of his career, on top of the typical soaring neoclassical keyboard-driven backdrops of Andre Andersen. Ballad "Far Away" is another timeless classic; its vocal-and-keyboard coda is the most famous moment of Cooper's and Royal Hunt's career. "Makin' a Mess" marries a big 6/8 groove to some appealing neoclassical melodies. Closer "Time" features a massive ethereal C#5 from Cooper in the intro, igniting the track from acoustic ballad to urgent neoclassical rocker. The swinging "Step By Step" adds a rare element of welcome looseness to the band's sound, and "Stay Down" and "Give It Up" are competent second-half midtempo numbers.

Eyewitness is the seventh studio album released by the band Royal Hunt.

Немногие рок-группы, работающие в жанре хард-н-хэви и взошедшие на мировую рок-сцену в самое трудное для подобной музыки время, в начале-середине 90-х гг. способны похвастать тем, что авторские наработки собственного стиля превратили их имена в синоним исполняемой ими музыки, а самих инструменталистов группы - в пример для подражания. Oдно из высших мест в этом списке занимает датская интернациональная группа Royal Hunt.
