Sons Of Eternity Human Beast Review
Sons Of Eternity
Human Beast
Massacre Records
2026
The German Heavy/Power Metal band Sons of Eternity recently released their sophomore effort, “Human Beast”, via Massacre Records. While I wasn’t deeply familiar with their debut, I did check it out when it was released, and it wasn’t bad at all. I even went back and revisited it before writing this review. That said, this new album feels like a significant step forward for the band.
On “Human Beast”, we’re hearing a group that has clearly figured out who they are, and more importantly, locked in on their songwriting and arrangements. Every track oozes a kind of reckless confidence - the sort that says, “hold my beer, I’ve got this vocal melody,” or “I’ve got this blistering lead break covered.” The album’s dynamics are excellent; the songs flow naturally into one another without feeling forced or disjointed.
The vocals are outstanding. In Power Metal, the higher vocal register can often feel overdone or strained, but that’s not the case here. The singer delivers consistently strong performances without ever tipping into excess, he simply sings his ass off and nails it at every turn. There isn’t a moment where I felt bored; if anything, the record gets more enjoyable with each listen.
Guitar-wise, this is another “what the hell?” kind of album, in the best way. Face-melting lead breaks and neck-snapping riffs are everywhere from start to finish. I also must mention the ballad, which is a welcome change of pace. It leans into that classic, slightly cheesy but effective Scorpions-style sentimentality, and it works surprisingly well.
I strongly recommend checking out Sons of Eternity. This isn’t just another Euro Metal outfit; these guys are onto something real. They’ve got the chops and songwriting ability to stand toe-to-toe with just about anyone in the genre right now. Give this one a spin and pick it up when you get the chance.
Standouts – “When Fantasy Dies”, “Sons Of Eternity” and “Human Beast”.
