Few bands are doing justice to this kind of atmospheric, melody-tinged death metal and Eternal Storm from Spain are definitely one among them. The initial response has been astounding and No Clean Singing was the first to premiere a fresh track from their debut full length HERE.
“the musical representation of an extravagant tapestry, both coarse and velveteen in its texture, revealing scenes both elegant and harrowing, in which the rich embroidery creates changing shades of light and dark, interwoven with strands of gold that catch the eye with their gleam”

Spanish death metal band Eternal Storm have created a mesmerizing album full of elegant riffs and soul-piercing melodies. After releasing a very well received EP and a split release, they’ve come up with their debut full length which sets new standards for bands playing in this style. Everything is immaculately executed, right from the artwork to the production, ensuring that their much awaited release doesn’t leave anything to be desired. The music is breathtaking and takes influences from several styles to create a sound that is at once emotive and striking. Most bands lean excessively towards either side but Eternal Storm exemplify the perfect balance of melody and heaviness in death metal music. Nothing on the album is forced but flows naturally, almost intuitively, and transports you to a tumultuous place where you take in the beauty as well as the wrath – a place akin to the one featured on the album cover.
