• #7 Stratovarius
• #9 Marilyn Manson
• #19 EToS
• #26 Devin Townsend
• #30 Heaven & Hell
• #33 Metallica

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

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!

“Children of the Dark Waters” is out in Finland on the 27th of May and in rest of Europe on the 24th of May. The exact Asian release date is still unknown to us but it will be in May as well.

This week, we found out our Internet service provider, RackGlobal, had gone bankrupt in late February. In the end, this was no big surprise for us.. Their billing process and customer service was practically non-existant i.e. we got our domain bills every now and then and seldom got any replies from the company.

The reason for me telling this to you is this: there may be problems in the near future with this website. We’re trying to get our eternaltears.info domain back to ourselves in order to find another service provider and go on with it.

However, in case of a sudden shutdown of this website (which may happen due to the bankruptcy), keep in mind that we also have a MySpace page at myspace.com/etos1.

P.S. The latest piece of news! The album is going to be mastered next Tuesday, on the 14th of April. Seven more weeks until the album comes up!

You can preorder the forthcoming album”Children of the Dark Waters” from Levykauppa Äx (Record Shop X).

That’s the name of the forthcoming album. See the main page of this website to see the album cover and to read further information on the album.

After these long months full of hard work and lots of incidents, it could also be called “Curse of the Dark Waters”. Well, we don’t care about those incidents but keep going strong..

The mixing session will start tomorrow and the mastering session will start just after that. We just can’t wait to hear the result of those sessions.. And we hope you can’t either.

And oh yeah.. Don’t believe some sites claiming that the album is out now or is coming out in April. It’s going to be out everytwhere in May. We’ll let you know when we get the exact release dates…
