The Eternal are a melancholic Australian band, musically close to the doom and gothic metal genres. They play rather depressing and dark metal, to put it simply.
After the intro, the gothic rock song "Everlasting" follows and it's a nice piece of work - perhaps a little lighter and easier than most of the material on their previous album, "The Sombre Light of Isolation". The momentarily hope of "Everlasting" is drowned with the slow and anguish ridden "To Drown", which is a fine piece of work where electronic piano and strings are well incorporated to shape a gloomy atmosphere! This type of slow, dark and depressive music with likewise lyrics is what follows. Other songs that must be mentioned are "Hollow Inside" and "A Dream's End", which are strong songs that stand out!
This is a well-executed and fine album, although it is slightly anonymous compared to its predecessor but yet in the same vein and of similar quality. What you get is 11 songs, of gothic, melancholic and doom metal, clocking in at almost an hour. If Paradise Lost, "Icon" and "Draconian Times" style, and maybe My Dying Bride are your kind of music, then this is your bag of gloomy darkness!
