THE ETERNAL - Celestial, Mini-LP

Split-exclusively available at Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM) mail order! Strictly limited to 150 "Celestial" 6-track mini LPs on recycled vinyl (each mini LP is unique).

Following the success of their acclaimed 2024 album Skinwalker, Australian/Finnish dark progressive gothic metal band THE ETERNAL return with their new EP "Celestial". Continuing their signature fusion of melancholic atmospheres, doom-laden heaviness, and progressive depth, the band once again delivers an emotive and cinematic journey through sound and spirit.

Featuring the tracks "Absence of Light", "Celestial", "It All Ends", "Bleeding Into Light", "Casting Down Shadows" and "Everlasting MMXXVI", the EP stands as both a companion to Skinwalker and a bold statement of the band's evolving artistry.

With Mark Kelson (vocals/guitars) and Richie Poate (guitars) in Melbourne, joined by Niclas Etelävuori (bass, ex-Amorphis/Flat Earth) and Jan Rechberger (drums, Amorphis) in Helsinki, The Eternal have solidified themselves as a truly international collaboration. Their music resonates with fans of acts such as Katatonia, Swallow the Sun, and Anathema - dark yet luminous, heavy yet emotionally transcendent.

Set for release through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM) in 2026, Celestial captures the essence of THE ETERNAL: a band unafraid to embrace both beauty and bleakness while charting new creative horizons.
