Signum Regis Recharges History with “The Eyes of Power” – A Bold Remake Packed with Fresh Sound and Epic Vision
Signum Regis breathes new life into their standout album The Eyes of Power, recorded with Göran Edman (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen). Hailed as one of Edman’s heaviest works, this release fuses a unique historical concept with oriental and neoclassical songwriting, reflecting the band’s fearless ambition. Featuring re-recorded guitars, updated bass, a crisp modern mix and mastering by guitarist Filip Koluš, and stunning new artwork by Uwe Jarling, the album feels reborn—perfect for fans of epic concept metal, Symphony X, and ancient history enthusiasts alike.
Ronnie’s comment about the release:
“The Eyes Of Power” is our second album that we recorded with Göran Edman (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen). I think it is also the heaviest album that Göran has ever recorded. What’s so interesting about the album is a combination of a unique historical concept, the oriental and neoclassical approach to the songwriting and the fire in the belly that we had while recording it. We were ambitious and fearless with this one. We did some really crazy stuff there. Like the super fast song “Dura Europos” or the epic instrumental song “The Underground Temples Of Mithras“.
The only thing that we were regretting over the years was the production. Now, when we had the opportunity to release this album again, we saw it as a unique chance to fix everything that we wanted to. Filip Koluš (guitarist) ended up re-recording all rhythm guitars with a better, modern sound. I re-recorded bass in 2 tracks and of course, we mixed it anew. I think Filip did a fantastic job with the mix and now this album sounds very fresh, like something we did just the other week. Uwe Jarling’s new artwork is the cherry on top, highlighting the dynamic and heroic essence of the storyline while elevating the album and band’s aesthetics to a fresh, modern level.
In my estimation, this album is tailor made for fans of historic concept metal albums, for fans of Signum Regis obviously, but I think it has a lot to offer to fans of bands like Symphony X or Yngwie Malmsteen. If you are an ancient history nerd, you will love the lyrics and the booklet. It’s very special. I don’t think you will find anything like it.
