Eternia | CD | Callejon

The five-member metalcore band from NRW is considered the founding fathers of German metalcore, pioneers of their genre in artistic, musical, lyrical, and visual aspects. Now, Callejon announces their new album 'Eternia'. And not just their next release, but the band's tenth studio album, precisely in the anniversary year of their twenty-year existence. And the metal band is more self-aware than ever before. The album highlights all of Callejon's strengths and unique features so clearly that you can't ignore them: from the wild enthusiasm and joy of youthful recklessness, finding infinity in a single summer evening, to the exploding anger of helpless despair over the limitations of the world, to the bittersweet longing that knows eternity can only be fulfilled in the transience of everything. Accordingly, the complexity of the songs overwhelms, with the metallic force paired with the distinctive, Callejon-typical sense of powerful refrains and characteristic melody, the impetuous intensity of the screamo outbursts, the swelling power of a great power ballad, the uncompromising harshness of the sound, and the unconditional love for every second of the music on this album.
