ETERNITY
MUNDICIDE

ETERNITY is the fire burning in the blackest night, a gateway to enlightenment through blacklight illumination: timeless True Norwegian Black Metal for all times...

ETERNITY's beginnings go all the way back to the '90s and the golden age of black metal, when the flames of burning churches lit up the northern sky, echoing around the world. The death of Euronymous had far-reaching consequences for the creation of ETERNITY and its founder and frontman Evighet, who was in a band with Blasphemer at the time. When Blasphemer was called upon to join Mayhem, Evighet took his riffs and ideas and went on to create his own band - ETERNITY. Through all this time, the name, the symbols, and the fundamental philosophy have remained the same.

After a few years in Oslo, playing in various acts with Blasphemer, Apollyon, Tristan among others, not least of which later ETERNITY members J.Röe and T.Ødegaard, Evighet decided to leave behind the city's sickening glow and turn to the purity of the Norwegian mountains. During years of self-imposed exile, much of what remains essential ETERNITY today was created. Two demos were recorded between 2001-2005, and the work culminated with the album Bringer of the Fall in 2006. A recording contract with SOULSELLER RECORDS was eventually secured, and a few years later, the time had finally come for ETERNITY to arise as a band.

Rejoining forces with T. Ødegaard (Nocturnal Breed, Ekrom) and J.Röe (Old Man's Child, Nattefrost), ETERNITY started rehearsing the material that would make up To Become the Great Beast and went into studio near the end of 2016. With Blasphemer joining on bass for the recording and Brynjard Tristan (Dimmu Borgir) visiting to lay down additional vocals, the combined energy and shared history of the those involved made it possible to create something truly special and timeless. After three years of hard work and dedication, To Become the Great Beast was finally ready to be let loose.

The Satanic masterpiece To Become the Great Beast was released by SOULSELLER on Friday the 13th, September 2019, to great critical acclaim. In the meantime, V. Fineidet (Den Saakaldte, Sovereign) had taken up the mantle as bass player and thus the band was complete. Playing live now being an option, ETERNITY took to the stage and played gigs around Norway with bands such as Mork and Dødheimsgard.

Just as things were looking good, the world closed down. The existing plans for an EP to keep momentum up were quickly shelved in favor of creating the next full-length album, as the material that would eventually become Mundicide took on a will and life of its own. Another three years of hard work and dedication followed.
