NEWS: The Eternal lift the veil?

Featuring in their ranks both current and former members of Amorphis, musicians split between Melbourne Australia and Helsinki Finland are united in The Eternal. Their new EP “Celestial” has now seen the cold light of day via Reigning Phoenix Music, a portrait painted in Progressive Gothic Metal and soaked in themes of sorrow, loneliness and sadness. It’s been celebrated by the arrival of a music video for “Celestial Veil“.

The band comment: “The lyrics of ‘Celestial Veil’ depict a meditation on loss, memory, and the cosmic inevitability of separation. They weave imagery of stars, constellations, and light fading into darkness to reflect the fragility of human connection and the grief of distance between two souls. The recurring theme of time standing still suggests moments of longing suspended against the vastness of the universe, while the celestial metaphors frame love and loss as forces written in the stars – beautiful yet doomed. Despite despair and fading light, Mark clings to memory and dreams, revealing both the pain of absence and the enduring pull of an eternal, though fragile, bond.”
