2016 Metal Newcomers Explored, Pt. II
The capitulation of each year is that glorious time when we pour over hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of titles trying feverishly to rank them into either a Top 5, Top 10, Top 20, Top 50, Top 100 or Top 1000 lists (we did our own, which you can read about here). One of my favorite list to compile is the new, unknown or newly formed groups in order to very year we make a point of searching out new, unknown, and freshly formed groups because its pretty rare (though not impossible) that they top the album lists. However, the search for new bands to perpetuate the scene is something I take great pride in doing because every Blind Guardian or Amon Amarth or Dream Theater started somewhere.
For all the pain that 2016 seemed to inflict on people all over the world, in music it seems like despite the evolving and changing music industry a plethora of new bands try to stake a claim on the world. Technology and the internet contribute greatly, as bands can record, produce and release albums themselves and those creations far exceed the quality of the demo tape trading that went on in my youth. Crowdfunding aids in relinquishing the need for record company control, which allows for more bands to take a shot at becoming the next big thing. The problem is - that shot is more like 1 million to 1, instead of 10,000 to 1 years ago.
To give you a glimpse into some of those newer acts which came out in 2016 that you may have missed or overlooked, MetalUnderground.com will be covering individual band nominations for the Best Newcomer category. Here are five bands who I nominated for in the Newcomer category. Hopefully, you will find something you like. More...

2016 Metal Newcomers Explored
The end of the year means our annual staff awards have arrived! Every year we make a point of searching out new, unknown, and freshly formed groups to bring the best of the best in the metal underground to you.
Ultimately Abbath ended up taking our Best Debut Album / Newcomer award with his self-titled album after splitting off from Immortal, but there were a whole lot of other bands nominated in that category. To give you a look back at what new material came out in 2016 you may have missed, the staff will all be covering our individual band nominations for Best Newcomer.
This was a first for me personally in my time at Metalunderground: unlike nearly all years past, most of my best debut album nominations didn't come from legitimate "newcomers" in 2016, but rather were from new bands consisting of established members of the scene. That's not to say there weren't truly new outfits born this year that are worth hearing, but rather that none of those I heard blew me away and made my top list like these bands did.
Trees Of Eternity
Featuring members of Swallow The Sun, Wintersun, and October Tide, this ill-fated band showed up with a stunning debut album that will also most likely be its last ever release.
Recording on "Hour Of The Nightingale" (reviewed here) was nearing completion when tragedy struck and vocalist Aleah Starbridge unexpectedly passed away.
This highly atmospheric release is made all the more haunting (and lyrically compelling) knowing that Aleah is speaking beyond the grave to the audience. It's a shame the band is likely over just as it was getting going, but it offered some truly stellar music on this debut release, easily beating out all the competition for me.

Eternal Idol Details "The Unrevealed Secret"
Frontiers Music srl is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Eternal Idol debut album, entitled "The Unrevealed Secret" on December 2nd.
Eternal Idol is a new band formed in early 2016 and that marks the start of a new musical adventure for Rhapsody Of Fire/Angra singer Fabio Lione (Official), together with the experienced Italian guitar player Nick Savio (ex-Hollow Haze) and a line-up completed by the young vocal rising star Giorgia Colleluori, Camillo Colleluori (both also from Hollow Haze) on drums and Andrea Buratto (Secret Sphere, Hell in the Club) on bass.
While all the musicians have solid pedigrees and musical history behind them, Eternal Idol has a brand new and original sound which will certainly catch many fans by surprise. Fabio Lione says, “[a]fter all the experiences with bands such as KAMELOT, Rhapsody of Fire, Angra and many more, I think it is time to show the world a new side of myself with this amazing new band. Musically, Eternal Idol offers an intriguing mix of classic metal, symphonic rock and a few progressive twists which is truly unique, thanks to the combination of female and male vocals.”
Fabio took care of most of the lyrics and vocal melodies, along with three gorgeous tracks he wrote, while Nick Savio worked hard on songwriting and arrangements. "'The Unrevealed Secret' is the album where all our ideas came to the light,” says the axeman from Vicenza. “Heavy classic rock with symphonic elements and the magic atmosphere of two lead vocals, male and female, create a contrast between good and bad as the main subject, as it is possible to see on the impressive and mysterious cover artwork.”
The album was recorded in the summer of 2016, produced by Nick Savio and mixed by Simone Mularoni (DGM, Sunstorm) and promises to be one of the melodic metal releases of the year. Fans of Kamelot, Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall, MasterPlan, and Avantasia should pay attention.
“There is a story to be told with this album, and the secret will be revealed on the next Eternal Idol releases, so please take your time to listen this first chapter and enjoy....A new story has begun,” Nick concludes.
“The Unrevealed Secret” track listing is:
1. Evil Tears
2. Another Night Comes
3. Awake in Orion
4. Is the Answer Far from God?
5. Blinded
6. Sad Words Unvailed
7. Desidia

From The Ashes Of Hollow Haze Comes Eternal Idol

We managed to forge a distinctive personal style which is the result of the background of each musician.”
The band is set to enter the studio in the summer of 2016 and looks forward to releasing a debut album in early 2017. Fans of hard rock and melodic metal with power, symphonic and progressive influences should stay tuned for this one! Follow the band on Facebook at this location. More...
