After six years of silence, Finnish-Australian metallers THE ETERNAL today send a musical sign of life with the first digital single from their upcoming seventh studio album, which will be released on June 28, 2024 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). ‚Deathlike Silence‘ also serves as an introduction to their new line-up, which includes drummer Jan Rechberger (AMORPHIS) and bassist Niclas Etelävuori (FLAT EARTH, ex-AMORPHIS). The track shows the immense development of the band and at the same time marks a decisive moment in their history.

In terms of content, ‚Deathlike Silence‘ delves deep into the abysses of human relationships and sheds light on a painful event: two people growing apart. The gripping narrative style of the song contributes not a little to the confusing chaos and the abysmal silence that the separation of the two once so intimately connected characters brings with it. That very silence becomes a powerful language of its own, speaking volumes in its absence while reflecting the unspoken words and unfulfilled desires that lie dormant in the void,“ the band says.
„Skinwalker“, which features several notable guests including Tomi Joutsen (AMORPHIS), Santeri Kallio (AMORPHIS), Sami Yli-Sirniö (KREATOR) and award-winning Tuvian throat singer Albert Kuvezin (YAT-KHA), promises to continue their rich musical legacy and will be a pivotal creative moment for the band. It was recorded at guitarist/vocalist Mark Kelson’s Lucidity Sound Studios and drummer Jan Rechberger’s Moon Unit Studios, while it was produced by the two of them and guitarist Richie Poate. Mark and Jan also handled the mixing before „Skinwalker“ was finalized at Crystal Mastering in Melbourne, Australia. Last but not least, creative head Kelson was also responsible for the artwork, to which the outstanding skills of Travis Smith (OPETH, AMORPHIS, among others) contributed.
