Today, Australian-Finnish dark progressive gothic metal collective The Eternal celebrate the release of their new, critically acclaimed EP Celestial, out now on Reigning Phoenix Music.
To mark the day, the band have unveiled an official music video for "Celestial Veil", a track that highlights their talent for slow-burning heaviness and emotional depth. The EP is available digitally and as a limited, eco-friendly, recycled vinyl LP edition (exclusively available through the band's official store and the Reigning Phoenix Music shop).
Built on restrained weight and a drifting sense of atmosphere, the new single "Celestial Veil" unfolds like a moment suspended in time. The video mirrors this feeling through cosmic imagery, light meets vast darkness, visually reinforcing the song's themes of loss, distance, and fragile connection.
Featuring celestial metaphors, "Celestial Veil" captures the longing and grief of separation. As stars fade and time stands still, the song reveals that love, though fragile and doomed, remains a luminous force: eternal in memory and dreams beyond the darkness.
"The lyrics of 'Celestial Veil' depict a meditation on loss, memory, and the cosmic inevitability of separation", the band reveal. "They weave imagery of stars, constellations, and light fading into darkness to reflect the fragility of human connection and the grief of distance between two souls. The recurring theme of time standing still suggests moments of longing suspended against the vastness of the universe, while the celestial metaphors frame love and loss as forces written in the stars—beautiful yet doomed. Despite despair and fading light, Mark clings to memory and dreams, revealing both the pain of absence and the enduring pull of an eternal, though fragile, bond."
Following the success of their acclaimed 2024 album Skinwalker, The Eternal now return with their new EP Celestial. Continuing their signature fusion of melancholic atmospheres, doom-laden heaviness, and progressive depth, the band once again delivers an emotive and cinematic journey through sound and spirit, unafraid to embrace both beauty and bleakness while charting new creative horizons.
