Eternal Tears of Sorrow

Finally, it’s 2009!

We’ve been writing songs for the forthcoming album for more than two years now. Dozens of riffs and melodies were written, dozens of mp3 demo files and hundreds of emails were sent, dozens of weird working titles for the songs were written etc. etc.

Now, we’re at a point where over 40 minutes of music have been written. Naturally, we still need to write and rewrite a lot of lyrics, melodies, solos during the next four weeks.. But in the end, now we know what the forthcoming album is going to sound like. As a whole, it’s solid entity. Compared to material on the previous album, these new songs are darker and heavier. A bunch of nice songs that sound like us, that’s the most important thing in the end..

So, what next? We’ll start the final recording session in early February. During this session, the single will come out. The whole album will be released in April and also at that time, it’s time to celebrate our 15th anniversary. You know, this band was officially formed in April / May 1994 even though the pre-EToS projects had been around for two years. We started recording our first demo tape (or promo tape) in April ’94 and during these recording sessions, we found out that we need a new name. So, in May, we had a new name for the band “Eternal Tears of Sorrow” as well as a brand new demo tape.

Oh yeah, and we’ll start doing live shows in May. For various reasons, we couldn’t do so many gigs in 2006 and 2007 but now we’re trying to do more of them.
