BLACK HILL COVE

Portuguese metal band Black Hill Cove is proud to announce the release of their latest music video for the track “Eternal,” from their recently released full-length album Ex Tenebris Vita on Raging Planet Records. The band, known for their genre-bending fusion of groove, modern thrash, hardcore, and death metal, continues to break boundaries with this powerful new release.

Formed during the global pandemic in 2020, Black Hill Cove quickly made a name for themselves with their debut album Broken, which was released in November 2021. The album received critical acclaim internationally, being named Album of the Month on Caminhos Metálicos and featuring on several top albums of 2021 lists.

The band’s explosive live performances and unique vision are evident in their single video releases, including The Calling, The Wolf, and “Angels Fall. With Eternal, the band showcases their relentless energy and thoughtful songwriting.

Nuno Aguiar de Loureiro, the band’s guitarist, shared the inspiration behind Eternal, stating, “The track has the same feeling as the rest of the album, which is a feeling of resilience and positivity towards life.” The message of the track, as described by vocalist Rui FAC, is to “be yourself and show what you are capable of, and you will be eternal in the memories of others.”

In the writing of Eternal, Black Hill Cove aimed for a distinctive sound that would convey the message of the lyrics. The band explains, “We really like vocal choruses and hooks, which is something we seldom see in music nowadays as it appears shifted more towards the instrumental proficiency side of writing. Our goal was to have an album that would not tire the listener and would always have interesting musical pieces in the songs to pick up on.”

The recording of Ex Tenebris Vita took place at Subpainexit studios, where the band meticulously worked to create a cohesive production that ties together the different vibes throughout the album. This careful attention to detail is something that defines Black Hill Cove’s sound.
