NEWS: The Eternal share “Lament For The Hollow”!

Featuring in their ranks both current and former members of Flat Earth and Amorphis, Reigning Phoenix Music signings The Eternal have announced their next album “Obscured Horizons” is set for an 18th September release with “Lament For The Hollow”. It’s something of a surprise as the band only unveiled EP “Celestial” in January with the subliminal suggestion that the songs might have been recorded in the same sessions…

Mark Kelson (vocals, guitars) reveals: “Lament for the Hollow really come from a place of confronting that moment when everything you thought was solid – your identity, your direction – starts to fracture. I was exploring the idea of stripping away illusion, of recognising the voices and influences around you that aren’t real or honest, and having the strength to cut them off. Time is the ultimate truth-teller, eventually everything false gets washed away, whether you’re ready for it or not. The recurring imagery of waves and erasure ties into that cleansing force, but it’s not gentle— it’s destructive, almost violent. ‘Lament For The Hollow’ is about facing fear, selfdoubt, and betrayal, and what happens when people allow themselves to be consumed by emptiness or led astray. It’s both a warning and a kind of catharsis. In a way ‘Lament For The Hollow’ is an anthem for the disenchanted, disillusioned and disenfranchised.”
