The Profile

Eidolon is a name shared by at least two bands: a Canadian power/thrash metal group featuring Glen and Shawn Drover, and a Boston-associated post‑hardcore outfit noted for the 1992 album Sanctuary.

Reviews highlight Nightmare World (2000, Metal Blade) with Glen Drover on guitar and Shawn Drover on drums, praised for sharp solos and modern production; Sanctuary (1992) is framed as post‑hardcore with emo/post‑punk currents.

Two positive reviews track Eidolon across very different lanes: a Boston-tinged post‑hardcore Sanctuary (1992) and the power/thrash assault Nightmare World (2000, Metal Blade). Glen and Shawn Drover’s precision riffs and modern production get praise, while vocals are noted as capable but not aggressive enough for some tracks. Expect groove, speed, and sharp solos on the metal side; emo/post‑punk currents on the other.

Notable Quotes

❝ post-hardcore is the common thread of this Sanctuary, dated 1992: Husker Du, primarily, but it spans from late post-punk to '80s hardcore, touching upon alternative rock linked to a certain intimate metal.

❝ In fact, the tracks are very heavy and intense, in power thrash metal style, and in my judgment, they would have benefited more from a more aggressive vocal style.
