Eternity’s End announce new album ‘Embers Of War’
ETERNITY’S END have announced a new album!
Titled Embers Of War, the upcoming album from the German progressive-tinged power metal band is the follow-up to 2018’s Unyielding and is scheduled to be released in November this year, making their label debut at new home Prosthetic Records.
Speaking about signing with Prosthetic Records, the band says, “signing with Prosthetic Records marks the beginning of a new chapter for ETERNITY’S END. There are many bands on the label that we are fans of or friends with, and it happens right at the time we move ETERNITY’S END from an online project into a real band that will also play live shows and tour. Now that there seems to be a renaissance of classic heavy metal and power metal, especially in the US, we feel that Prosthetic is the perfect label to work with for us and we are looking forward to this collaboration very much!”
The upcoming album was written between November 2019 and October 2020 before being recorded between October 2020 and May 2021. The album was produced by Christian Muenzner and Hannes Grossmann and mixed and mastered by Hannes Grossmann at Mordor Sound Studios. The choirs were provided by Piet Sielck and Jan Sören Eckert of German power metal veterans IRON SAVIOR.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming release; Arcturus Prime.
Speaking about the new song, the band says, “we chose Arcturus Prime to be the first single for the album as we feel it summarizes everything that we are about as band, which is a totally over the top approach to the music with an exaggerated amount of hyper technical twin guitar harmonies and aggressive riffing, solo trade offs combined with very high pitched soaring vocals, intense drumming and even light speed shredding on the bass. Lyrically this song tells a science fiction story based in the far distant future where a hegemony of planets across the galaxy form a governmental entity and are connected through teleportation networks, which are controlled by an artificial intelligence that has developed over centuries into a god like entity with powers far beyond human understanding and control. The album’s cover art was hand painted in acrylic by Dimitar Nikolov. It represents a scene from the title track. The idea is to represent that mix of sword and sorcery aesthetics with sci fi elements as we also have in the lyrics.”
