Enochian Key / Darkside
Moonchild Movie Soundtrack
Reviewed by Roadrunner
The first song "Osiris Has Risen" sounds more like Judas Priest as it goes along. "Napalm Babies" continues the pounding, yet I have to chuckle. "Alone I Ride" reminds me too much of a Bon Jovi hit, but I'm sure it's fitting for a love scene. "Beyond The Gates of Hell" digs up old Mercyful Fate. And finally Darkside closes side 1 with "The Reign", that Savatage kind of song from their demo & soon to be released CD. Side 2: "Mark Of The Beast" is a crunchy warning tune about that evil guy, you know who, & that number "you gotta resist". "Cry Out" is another ballad with acoustic guitars & BGV's. Then Darkside's "Dream Of Witches" starts out powerful yet doesn't seem to ever reach it's full potential. Finally (& surprisingly) "Sonata DeLuna" is a crunchy metal number with words like "I got the Spirit of Jesus living in me". It's written by Matthew J. Walsh. I assume Enochian Key is fronted by Todd Sheets, the mastermind behind these local films such as Moonchild.
