Debut album from 2025 by Swedish Death/ Doom cult legends ETERNAL DARKNESS and one of the most remarkable comebacks the genre has witnessed in decades. Originally formed in 1990 under the name NECROPSY, the band achieved cult status through a series of demos and an unreleased album recorded during the early 1990s. More than thirty years later, ETERNAL DARKNESS finally delivers its first official full-length studio album, preserving the spirit of that golden era of dark, crushing and oppressive Death/ Doom Metal.
Rather than sounding like a modern reinterpretation of the genre, "Eternal Darkness" feels like a natural continuation of the first generation of bands that helped shape Death/ Doom Metal in the early 1990s. Built upon monolithic riffs, crushingly slow tempos and an overwhelming atmosphere of despair, the album recalls the sepulchral heaviness of PARADISE LOST's "Lost Paradise", the sickly darkness of RIPPIKOULU, the spectral aura of MOONDARK and the monumental weight of DISEMBOWELMENT. The result is an authentic and deeply rooted work that remains faithful to the genre's earliest foundations, making it one of the most essential Death/ Doom releases of recent years.
Recommended for fans of: PARADISE LOST ("Lost Paradise"), MOONDARK, RIPPIKOULU, DISEMBOWELMENT and MYTHIC.
