Michael Schinkels ETERNAL-FLAME

GRAVITATION 2021

Rock of Angels Records

Already with their 2018 comeback-album “Smoke on the Mountain” ETERNAL FLAME laid down the foundation for their new album “GRAVITATION”. Still, “GRAVITATION” excels its predecessor in terms of songwriting, performance and virtuosity. Classic Heavy Metal meets catchy rock-songs and neo-classical tunes – all carried by Michael Schinkel’s brilliant guitar and unequalled voice. Moreover Helmut Kohlpaintner (keyboards), Thomas Keller (bass) and new drummer Tommy Wagner deliver outstanding performances along with guest-singers Mark Boals and Göran Edman. Lyricist Timothy Touchton (“Go for Gold” - Olympic Games Seoul 1988, “Sail away” - Joe Cocker, numerous Top-40 hits) is responsible for most of the lyrics. ETERNAL FLAME “GRAVITATION” – produced by Michael Schinkel & Helmut Kohlpaintner, co-produced by Timothy Touchton. Mixed by Michael Schinkel. Mastered by Christoph Stickel.

"Gravitation" will be released on October 29 as trifold digipack CD and digital streaming and download format.

PRESALE

Michael Schinkels ETERNAL-FLAME

Smoke On The Mountain 2018

Rock of Angels Records

After the first two albums “Desire” (1998) and “King of the King” (2002) it was the end of Eternal Flame. Michael Schinkel (singer and guitarist) and Helmut Kohlpaintner (keyboard player, bassist) decided to work as composers and producers for other musicians and bands and founded the company “enooma-media musicproduction” in Munich. Again and again they received calls, letters and e-mails from fans, with the request to produce a new Eternal Flame album. It then started in 2012. Helmut Kohlpaintner and Michael Schinkel discussed the project and quickly found partners for lyric writing such as Timothy Touchton (known by lyrics such as “Go for Gold” Olympics in Seoul 1988, “Sail Away” Joe Dicker as well as 11 Top 40 and 3 top 5 hits) The album was created by further guests such as Mark Boals (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen and Ring of Fire) and Göran Edman (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen & John Norum). Other musicians such as Thomas Keller (bass) and Robert Lipp (bass) from past Eternal Flame days as well as the drummer Michael Hencky also shared their know how.
