Eternity’s End has released a video for “Sword In The Storm”, the second single taken from the new album “Titanblood” to be released on November 6 by Scarlet Records.
This song tells a story of Elric Of Melnibone and his cursed, blood drinking sword Stormbringer. “Sword In The Storm” starts with a blast beat riff reminiscent of symphonic black metal and features thrashy, high speed technical riffing and a quite symphonic arrangement throughout, building up to an epic, catchy chorus and guitar/keyboard solo duel section in the middle reminiscent of old Children Of Bodom.

“Titanblood” will captivate the listener through fast, aggressive and technical power metal songs with soaring lead vocals, big anthemic choruses, crazy solo duels and harmonies and riffs at times bordering on technical-thrash.
The new Eternity’s End album brings back some of the more progressive and symphonic elements found on the band’s first record and combining those with heavier influences.
While not being a proper concept album, every “Titanblood” song tells about dark fantasy stories inspired by writers like Robert E. Howard, Michael Moorcock and Edgar Allan Poe, and video games like “Dark Souls”.
