NEWS: The colours fade for The Eternal?

An international collaboration between Australian pair Mark Kelson and Richie Poate in Melbourne alongside Finnish duo Niclas Etelävuori (ex-Amorphis, Flat Earth) and Jan Rechberger (Amorphis) in Helsinki, The Eternal have been making their presence felt in the darker side of the Progressive Metal world. They’ve just offered up a new single in “Colours Fade” with their forthcoming studio album “Obscured Horizons” slated to be unveiled on 18th September via Reigning Phoenix Music.

Vocalist Mark Kelson: “‘Colours Fade’ is about the shifting nature of perception, how memory, emotion, and time constantly reshape the way we see our lives. For me, it reflects that internal conflict between what we want to believe and what we know to be true. There’s a recurring sense that we construct these emotional ‘masks’ to protect ourselves, but over time they become part of the illusion that holds us back. The imagery of colours fading speaks to that loss of clarity or meaning, where everything starts to feel muted or indistinguishable, yet at the same time those colours don’t disappear completely, they rearrange, suggesting that nothing is ever truly lost, only transformed. ‘Colours Fade’ is about navigating cycles of emotion, of identity, of time and learning to exist within that flux without losing yourself entirely.”
