Eternal Darkness: Debut & final album in July 2025 via Pulverised Records – Lyric video premiere

A debut album 35 years in the making…

Eternal Darkness, one of Sweden’s oldest death/doom acts, will finally release their debut full-length on July 18th 2025 through Pulverised Records on CD, LP and digitally. Simply titled as »Eternal Darkness« it will also close the band’s chapter at the same time.

»Eternal Darkness« features eight tracks of unwavering death metal with the hefty strike of doom maceration. It was recorded, mixed & mastered by Peter Bjärgö (Tyrant, Krypt Of Kerberos, etc) at the band’s former K-13 rehearsal room. The cover artwork was created by Skiftinge Darkness.

A lyric video for the album’s opening track »The Beyond« has been premiered HERE.

In Death! Eternal Darkness (1990-2025)

Line-up:
Janne Heikkinen – Vocals
Make Pesonen – Drums
Jeff Hausel – Bass
John Carlsson – Guitars (lead)
Kristian Henriksson – Guitars (rhythm)

Description by Olivier “Zoltar” Badin:

“Against all odds!” Eternal Darkness bass player since 2019 Jeff Hausel knows what he’s talking about. It took this cult death/doom Swedish mob thirty-five years to finally come up with their first proper album, only to see them splitting on the eve of its official release on Pulverised Records.

But make no mistake: formed way back in Eskilstuna, Sweden in 1990 and revered ever since as one of Scandinavia most uncompromised death/doom entity ever, their self-titled full-length – produced, recorded and mixed by longtime friend and Crypt Of Kerberos/Tyrant guitar player Peter Bjärgö in their former rehearsal room – is probably the heaviest, as in heaviest, thing you’ll hear this year.

Joining for the occasion original members Make Pesonen (drums) and Janne Heikkinen (vocals) are John Carlsson on lead guitar (Eternal Autumn), Kristian Henriksson on rhythm guitar (Unpure, Svartsyn) and Jeff Hausel on bass. Eight brand new songs, written in between 2019 and 2024, marked by personal tragedy and about “the process of death, loss and grief”, completed by the aptly chosen famous Italian 14th century tapestry, Triumph Of Death. Maybe their last move but talk about leaving with a bang.

In Death!
