FROM ETERNAL STORM: :
In case you missed the premiere with Moshpitnation-mi, the title track for our sophomore album 'A Giant Bound to Fall' is now available on our label Transcending Obscurity Records' Youtube channel. You will also find it on Spotify and other platforms very soon!
Preorder the new album here:
"The title track from our sophomore album took a while to get completed! I remember Jaime showing me some mellotron sketches some time in 2015 and I was wondering when we would use them, as I loved what I heard. A few years later more tweaks were added and we started working on it properly. I believe it is more epic and direct than most of our tracks and there aren’t as many layers as in the other songs from the albums, at least instrumental-wise. Having an old friend of the band like Bobby from Persefone and Nami performing some additional vocals was also a great thing for us!"

"The genesis of the track started with me experimenting with a mellotron plugin way back in 2014 and adding some guitars on top of it, only to be relegated to the “nice ideas” folder. It would not be until 2017, when we were recording “Come the Tide”, that I would fall upon this idea again while browsing my laptop during a break, and thought this had to be used for a track for the next record; but still, couldn’t see where it would fit.
Some time later, I was chatting with Daniel on our way to our then rehearsal place and considering the idea of crafting a track with a denser vibe, a little bit closer to post metal acts like Cult of Luna, Neurosis or Isis, then merge it with more traditional melodic extreme metal elements. That very same night, while having a shower, I had the first half of the heavy section of the track quite clear in my head, so I wrapped myself in a towel and recorded the whole thing before it would vanish. Dinner had to wait. And once this was done I could finally see that the mellotron idea would be a good fit as an intro for the song.
The rest of the track came quite naturally, we decided to throw in a few acoustic guitar overdubs, Flys brought a wide array of vocal styles, our friend Bobby from Persefone did some guest vocals at the end of the song, and Daniel came up with a sweet bass line for the acoustic ending right at the recording sessions (a bass line that in spanish could be sang as “Bello Magantito, bello Magantito, toca el bajito, toca el bajito”).
Quite crazy to think how sometimes a song can come up in just an evening or a few days, and others it can evolve slowly across the years from an almost forgotten idea, being twisted and shaped by the inputs of every member, right up until the final moments in the studio!"
