"Eternal" is my first Butterfly Messiah cd. I was given a copy as a gift recently. The moment I heard the crisp synthesized beats and the angelic vocals of Shannon on "For Today", I knew I was going to be in for a treat. Butterfly Messiah takes the best elements of synthpop and dance music, and combines them to create an intoxicating mix. I loved all of the songs on the entire cd. The lyrics are beautiful. They give hope and meaning. One of the most beautiful songs on the cd is "With Roses" which has Robert singing lead vocals/spoken word. The song is a gorgeous ballad. I just loved the combination of downtempo electronic beats with piano melodies. Ever since I received "Eternal" I have not been able to stop playing it. The cd is addicting to listen to.

This is one of the most incredible EBM/Darkwave albums I have heard in my life. I recommend it to fans of both of the aforementioned musical genres, as well as ANY AND ALL Witches, Pagans and magickians. The album is profound, transcendental and most definitely dancable.
If I met Butterfly Messiah, I would give them kisses on the hand and speak words of adoration. This creation should NOT go unappreciated. Buy this album--it's one of the best investments you'll make ^_^

Based on the rave reviews and sound clips from the band's website, I bought this CD and popped it in yesterday. My first impression was that the backbeat was more 80's revival than 21st century electronica which gives this avantgarde group a somewhat dated sound. The lead singer's voice is sweet but not as powerful like the leads in Evanescence and Lacuna Coil. Occasionally the music drowns out the singer entirely, though that might be a production flaw. Their music can't be put in one category and there's quite of experimentation going in the album to make listening an interesting experience. But after one sitting, I'm not sure whether I like the album or not. The lyrics are fab though and hopefully over time this group will win me over. This album is definitely for the open-minded. Ideally, I'd give it 3 1/2 stars for now but 4 is fair.

I love their first album "Priestess" and "Eternal" shows true evidence of growth... If you like the idea of synthpop electro with a touch of goth that encompasses beautiful vocals combined with deep lyrics - then you must pick up this cd... I'm already looking forward to their 3rd - and if they play NYC - I'm there - Savannah Skye...
Bewitching, profound and unique... January 15, 2004
Where to begin...this CD has so much to offer! Stunningly beautiful vocals, poetic, philosophical lyrics, and powerful, captivating musical arrangements...I could go on and on. This is a truly prodigious accomplishment!!!Butterfly Messiah has managed to create a sound that is uniquely their own, while offering a collection of songs that is diverse, yet connected. Believe it or not, there aren't any trite lyrics here, nor are there any songs that sound the same. I'm absolutely amazed! "Eternal" will appeal to those who appreciate everything from electronic/synthpop to "darkwave" and dance...this music is so difficult to categorize! Get this CD. Prepare to be blown away!
