The Eternal announce new EP ‘Celestial’

THE ETERNAL have announced a brand new EP!

The Australian-Finnish dark progressive gothic metal collective will release Celestial on January 16th, 2026 via Reigning Phoenix Music. The EP is the follow-up to last year’s Skinwalker.

Alongside the announcement, the band have dropped a new music video for It All Ends, taken from the upcoming EP. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming EP, following on fromĀ Everlasting – MMXXIV.

Vocalist and guitarist Mark Kelson, who also designed and edited the video, explains, “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 unravelling, 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.”
