Where can I
get the CD?

Random eyes - Eyes ablaze

Before I heard Random Eyes I had heard many very different descriptions of them, everything from melodic metal to pop metal. So, what's this really like? Well, this slightly strange band has got three guitarist and two singers, a male and a female vocalist. This adds some pop-ish feel to the whole thing. The somewhat sad thing is that the guitars and the drums makes the songs more pop-ish. The drummer is exploiting his crash cymbal, (sadly) not his kickdrum, and since the guitar(s) often don't damp the strings it gets a bit to pop-ish to be really great. It's bearable, though, not destroying the CD, but the metal-feel sinks. It's a good CD, a little too pop-influenced for extreme metalheads, but I think they'll be very popular mainstream soon.
