We got back together as a band again in -2007, after being separated for more than
a decade. Once together again, the five of us agreed to play nothing else but our own "homecooked" Melodic metal In -2008 we decided to hit the studio to record some of the new tracks. And when the fourtrack demo was all done, we thought: "Why not release it as a fourtrack EP?"
a decade. Once together again, the five of us agreed to play nothing else but our own "homecooked" Melodic metal In -2008 we decided to hit the studio to record some of the new tracks. And when the fourtrack demo was all done, we thought: "Why not release it as a fourtrack EP?"
So we released the EP "Start of a new era" in november -08, and it got magnificent reviews in magazines and fanzines worldwide. Since that time, we have been doing lot's of liveshows and played at some of the biggest rockfestivals in Sweden. And lot's of time has been spent on songwriting and rehearsing.
Now, when we're about to release our first fullength album, our aim is set a little bit higher. Maybe we will get the opportunity to do some shows outside the Swedish borders? Let's hope so. We are totally happy and proud of the result, both songwise and soundwise, with the new album that will be named "Chapter 1".
So we hope you will enjoy Chapter 1 as much as we do, and hopefully we'll get the chance to meet you and say "hi" when on tour.
Love you always /Eternal (of Sweden)

'Eternal of Sweden play a style of music that's by turns headbanger-friendly, efficiently hummable and deeply pompous. It helps greatly that their singer Christer Gärds sounds a little like Graham Bonnet. Fans of Pretty Maids should give them a try' - Dave Ling, Classic Rock Magazine, UK
'Their first full-length work fires up the engines on another superb Scandinavian metal trip. Akin to fellow Swedes Million, they conglomerate power metal and melodic hard rock to crushing ferocity and over-screwing serenity and power that carries you soaring from one number to the next.

Powerhouse keyboards from Pontu Lekaregard support the music high on its struts, meaning no one other is left to do all the work, especially tactical shredder Brosse Gards and Dio-throated frontman Christer. Speed metal flavourings applied to fit in with the demands of 'You Can't Break Us', 'Virus', 'Start Of A New Era', 'Heroes', 'Dead Or Alive', 'Ray Of Light' and 'Cross The Line' taste good whatever the tempo, and the whole album is accessible to either preference with their plentiful melodies and punishing rhythm lines, plus some pristine thrash-inpsired drumming from Pelle Hinden into the package.Stick this belter on for a dose of the good old fashioned grit that is true heavy metal, the way it was once always played and always should be' - 9.5/10, Dave Attrill, Metalliville.co.uk
