News : The Eternal release new single “Beneath These Waves”

By on June 6, 2013

They’ve been teasing everyone about it for quite a few weeks now, but The Eternal‘s new single has finally dropped. “Beneath These Waves” is available to download over at their Bandcamp page for a donation.

The Eternal’s frontman and long time songwriter Mark Kelson has this to say on the new album;

‘We are approaching this recording quite differently than our previous albums, usually we have very comprehensive and complete demos, but we have decided to start tracking at the basic idea stage and see where it takes us. As for the material, I have spent a lot of time reflecting over our back catalogue and everything we have achieved since we formed at the start of 2003 and I really wanted to write an album that reflects all the elements of our sound. I feel the new material takes elements of ‘Sleep Of Reason’, ‘Kartika’, ‘Under A New Sun’ & even ‘The Sombre Light of Isolation’ and blends them all together. We will still approach the new material very melodically as we always have done, but I have a feeling this will be a little heavier and darker than ‘Under A New Sun’ as the last year has been hard for me on a personal level and I feel that comes across in many of the songs composed thus far. I have always seen this band as a form a therapy for all of us, so its great to be getting back in the studio and be getting all our demons out again. This will also be my first album as sole producer, over the years working with so many people and not always getting 100 percent of what I believe the band needed, I have decided it’s my turn to step up and shape the final vision.’

The album, When The Circle Of Life Begins To Fade, is slated for an August release, with an Australian & Japanese tour to come.
