NEWS: The Eternal find a route to remain!

Having intrigued us with their EP “Celestial” not so long ago, Australian Finnish Dark Progressive Gothic Metal collective The Eternal are set to continue their Doom laden path with an eighth studio album in “Obscured Horizons“. Featuring in their ranks current and former members of Amorphis and Flat Earth the band will play four shows in Australia to celebrate the albums release via Reigning Phoenix Music on 18th September. From that they’ve shared another advanced listen in “Existing To Expire“.

Mark Kelson: “Existing to Expire explores that moment where you confront the weight of your own disillusionment—when truth and illusion blur to the point that you feel stripped of clarity and left in the dirt. For me, it’s about reclaiming agency after that collapse. There’s a strong sense of breaking free from passivity, which speaks to an internal turning point, a refusal to simply exist in a state of decay. In that sense, ‘existing to expire’ isn’t just about mortality, it’s about recognising a cycle of stagnation and choosing to rise from it, even when identity itself feels like it’s dissolving.”
