Poland has long since been, a country of melody. Three albums into their history, which began somewhere around 1998, Delight have slowly become a forerunner in Polish Melodic Metal. And with the recent opposite direction of Artrosis, they have become, in these eyes, the leader of bands from that country, of fine bands, that have a lovely female singer.

Not only is Paulina beautiful, but she can sing and has a voice that is unrivalled in all of rock music. The new album by them, "Eternity" does not veer off in a different direction completely from what we have come to know and love about them, but stays the course with only slight hints of Gothic Rock in the verses. Actually, I like to refer to their music as mid-tempo Power Gothic Metal akin to such bands as Nightwish, newer Within Temptation, newcomer Amaran, and a touch of earlier Artrosis in places. No growly stuff here folks, Paulina is the star of the show, plain and simple.

There is also allot of diversity in the new list of tracks on this album showing the bands maturity. They go from solid heavy rockers to melodic power with a tinge of goth, to some songs which could be lumped into AOR. There is not a bad track to be found out of the 9. All of the lyrics are sung in English, except for track 9, which is in their native tongue, Polish. Which I don't understand, but is still a good melodic number.

The band has also stayed the course as far as members. They are all the same people making this beautiful music with the exception of keyboardist, Barbara Lasek, who joined the band on the previous album,"The Fading Tale", and is now a permanant member. She adds fullness to their sound. Jaroslaw is still on guitars, as is Sebastian, all backed up by Tomasz on drums and Piotr on bass. For a detailed history of this fine outfit, see the link below for their website.

For fans of Delight, this album will be, pure delight. Seems to me, their has only been one sore spot so far, in their career. That being the cover of George Michael's "Careless Whisper", they did on, "A Fading Tale". Allot of the critic's trashed that album because of it. I was not one of them. I actually liked it and sing-along everytime I hear it. Well, everyone makes a mistake now and then, but shouldn't be held accountable for Eternity. Which brings me to the end of this review. A highly recommended referral for Delight's new album "Eternity" from someone who knows about "FEMALES IN ROCK"! Enjoy!
