NEWS: The Eternal wait for the end?

Featuring in their ranks both current and former members of Amorphis and Flat Earth, Australian-Finnish Dark Progressive Gothic Metal collective The Eternal are an intriguing prospect. They’ve announced a six track affair dubbed “Celestial” will be released via Reigning Phoenix Music on 16th January with “It All Ends” as the first single, a cut which sets the tone with a powerful mix of haunting atmosphere, melancholic weight and progressive finesse.

Vocalist and guitarist Mark Kelson comments: The lyrics of “It All Ends” convey a stark meditation on betrayal, disillusionment, and the collapse of trust. Through the recurring imagery of “empty words” and “broken shards,” the song captures the futility of promises that have lost their meaning and the devastation left in their wake. The repetition of the phrase “it all ends” underscores the inevitability and finality of this unraveling, while the storm imagery reflects the emotional turbulence beneath the surface. At its core, the song portrays the painful recognition that fractured communication and faithlessness lead to irreversible endings, leaving behind a lingering sense of loss that feels both suffocating and inescapable.”
