Description

Born Into Eternity is the second album from the Waycross, Georgiam Usa doomsters, Starchild, and it’s a step forward, while retaining the doom roots that have made them great. Viewing song titles like Rising Star, Earthless and Born into Eternity one might be forgiven for assuming that this was just another chapter in the Starchild saga, good as that may have been. But things are a bit different this time: The songs are shorter and the riffs are catchier – stonier if you will – while the music is still as heavy as the proverbial million pound shithammer. Bride starts things off with an easy, chugging space doom feeling with vocals in a lower register. A great idea that, although I admit that vocalist and guitarist Rick’s straining, higher-pitched vocals have never bothered me like they do some. But hey, I listen to Ozzy-era Sabbath and Planet Gemini on a regular basis, so what do I know? Heh. Anyway, Rising Star is a catchy rocker, while Earthless and Will You will appeal to old school Starchild fanatics, with their punishing cosmic doom. In all, the playing is better than ever before, with superb leads and songwriting that takes a back seat to nobody. With their second album Starchild have expanded their palette without forgetting what made them great in the first place.
