As Shadows Burn

'Echoes of Eternity is a progressive and melodic heavy metal band conceived in 2004 by L.A.-based guitarist Brandon Patton — a veteran of the local scene with numerous previous music projects under his belt, and a long on-and-off association with drummer Kirk Clarrison. After setting their sights on creating a female-fronted group, the duo drafted Canadian singer Francine Boucher and bassist Duane Cowan before recording an eponymous, three-song EP in 2005. This, in turn, led to a contract with Nuclear Blast Records and the release of a full-length album entitled The Forgotten Goddess in early 2007.' -Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
