The Eternal, the Australian-Finnish dark progressive gothic metal collective, have followed the release of their new EP “Celestial” (out January 16, 2026 via Reigning Phoenix Music) with a video for the single Celestial Veil. It comes on the heels of the first single video, It All Ends (both are available below).
You can get the EP on all major digital platforms and in an ultra-limited edition on eco-recycled vinyl: https://theeternal.rpm.link/celestialPR
It All Ends is the first taste of the “Celestial” record. The track unfolds slowly and deliberately, then drags the listener into a storm of gloomy riffs, dark melodies and emotional vocals that feel intimate and colossal at the same time. The dynamics keep building toward a grand, epic finale that shows off the band’s cinematic approach to heavy music.
With Mark Kelson (vocals/guitar) and Richie Poate (guitar) in Melbourne, joined by Jan Rechberger (drums, Amorphis) and Niclas Etelävuori (bass, ex-Amorphis/Flat Earth) in Helsinki, The Eternal are opening up new musical horizons.
