 "The only song that managed to catch my attention was 'The World Apart' with its big catchy chorus."

 "The album flows somewhat monotonously, 'slick,' a bit samey, with few noteworthy episodes and, most importantly, few prog elements for a band that likes to define itself as such..."

Eldritch's 'Portrait of the Abyss Within' marks a comeback after three years with a limited edition release. Despite strong marketing hype, the album falls short of expectations, featuring a fake drum sound and uneven vocals. The guitars add a nu-metal touch, but songwriting lacks engaging depth with a mostly monotonous flow. 'The World Apart' stands out as the only notably catchy track. Overall, it disappoints those hoping for a power-prog masterpiece. Discover Eldritch's comeback album—listen now and judge if 'Portrait of the Abyss Within' meets your prog metal taste!
