ETERNAL STORM is a Melodic Extreme Metal band that was created in Madrid in 2009, by Kheryon (bass & vocals) and guitarists Jaime Torres and Daniel Maganto. The band spent some time working with different drummers until Luis "Lucho" Rodríguez joined the band in 2011 and some months later recorded what would become their debut EP 'FROM THE ASHES', which was released in Spring 2013 and was critically acclaimed internationally, even being chosen as "MOST PROMISING NEW ACT OF 2013" by the respected webzine TheDrinkTim.
In the following months ETERNAL STORM supported well-known bands like THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, LEPROUS, LOCK UP, BLINDEAD or NAMI, as well as performed at SWR Barroselas Metalfest (one of the most important extreme metal festivals in the south of Europe) together with GORGUTS, MISERY INDEX and NEGURA BUNGET.
The band recorded one track ('THE GREAT WINGS OF SILENCE') for for the 5th installment of a very special project called ‘ELEMENTAL NIGHTMARES’: a series of seven 4-way splits released on 10” vinyls in which they appeared with the bands KAOS VORTEX (Germany), WILL OF THE ANCIENTS (Canada) and STORTREGN (Switzerland) which would see the light of day in November 2014. The track was mixed and mastered by the acclaimed Finnish engineer SAMU OITTINEN (INSOMNIUM, KORPIKLAANI, ROTTEN SOUND, ORANSSI PAZUZU) and showed an improved production and more mature sound, slightly shifting away from the Gothenburg scene towards a more atmospheric and epic approach.
In support of this new release, ETERNAL STORM continued to increase their live activity, playing all over the Peninsula and sharing the stage with respected bands like MOONSPELL and SEPTICFLESH (on a sold out gig in their home city), DE PROFUNDIS, STORMLORD or NIGHTRAGE across some of the finest venues of their city.
In late 2015 MATEO NOVATI became the band’s new drummer and the quartet finished the last details of their upcoming debut full-length, which would be recorded and mixed at SADMAN STUDIO by CARLOS SANTOS (WORMED, TOUNDRA, ADRIFT, JARDÍN DE LA CROIX) and mastered in Örebro, Sweden by TONY LINDGREN at FASCINATION STREET STUDIOS (ENSLAVED, LEPROUS, KREATOR) in early 2017.
A few months later, right before the mixing process started, the band was invited to join Finnish Winter metal warriors WOLFHEART (Spinefarm Records) on a successful minitour across Spain and Portugal, and immediately after, the band shared the stage with the legendary US Atmospheric black metal collective ASH BORER and the Norwegian death metal juggernauts BLOOD RED THRONE.
The band releases their debut album on August 23, 2019. 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.
