Eternal Tears of Sorrow

The album has been released in Finland toda!

In addition, we’ve got some new information to share. The album will be out in:

• United Kingdom: 1st of June
• Japan: 24th of June

UltimateMetal.com is where our discussion forum is available from now on…!

Levy ilmestyy Suomessa keskiviikkona – the album will be out in Finland on Wednesday. Tätä juhlistaaksemme EToS soittaa akustisesti Oulun Levykauppa Äx:ssä – to celebrate this event, EToS will have a little acoustic moment at Record Store X in Oulu, Finland. Tilaisuus alkaa 17.00 – the event starts at 5 o’clock in the afternoon.

Kyseessä on pienimuotoinen akustinen konsertti, jossa esitetään vain yksi biisi akustisesti. Muu levyn materiaali kun on aika hankalasti esitettävissä akustisilla kitaroilla .

We want to emphazise the word “little” in the phrase “a little acoustic moment”. It will be one song only. The other songs on the album aren’t so easy to be handled by acoustic guitars . But we suppose all of the songs on the new album can be heard @ Record Shop X – not live, though .

P.S. Here’s a bunch of photos. The oldest ones must be taken in 1996 and the newest ones are our promo shots from January 2009. Enjoy!

Ladies and gentlemen,

The day has come. “Children of the Dark Waters”, the sixth album by Eternal Tears of Sorrow is finally out in Europe!

Excluding Finland, though, the album is going to be released next Wednesday here…

Eternal Tears Of Sorrow has had several setbacks during the past nine months, including the most recent setback, Risto Ruuth (guitar) leaving the band just before the mixing session. However, EToS proves that adversities can be overcome. The band announced an open search and plenty of applications arrived from Finland and abroad.  After listening to the demos and having test rehearsals, the band made their decision.

“The new guitarist is Mika Lammassaari from Oulu. Mika has a “heavy hand” when it comes to playing guitar, he has quick fingers and is full energy for the live shows. He is already known from Mors Subita, an Oulu-based metal band, in which he is responsible for almost all of the band’s material.”, says Altti Veteläinen (vocals/bass).

The band’s sixth album “Children of the Dark Waters” will be released in a few weeks and a quick taster (“Tears of Autumn Rain” single) has already been released in February. Now, EToS starts rehearsing with the new guitarist to have several gigs next autumn, firm as iron.

“Children of the Dark Waters” pre-listening event is held at PSK Kaupunni restaurant, Oulu, Finland on Saturday, 9th of May. The event starts at 7 o’clock pm. Welcome!
