Eternity's End Unyielding Teaser 2 studio report and solo playthroughs
Teaser for the crowd funding campaign for the second Eternity's End album, featuring members of Symphony X, HIbria, Alkaloid, First Fragment and Necrophagist. Link to the campaign here:
Like the beginning of many a great blues lyric: I woke up one morning......in the beginning of December 2015 while working on songs for a jazz fusion project I'm working on with my buddy Christian Muenzner (more on that later!) with most of this song in my head. I finished it that morning and whipped up a demo later that same day.
After a few days of being undecided on what to do with it I decided to ask Hannes Grossmann and Erlend Caspersen to play on it and release it on my own. After sending everything off to Per for mixing and mastering we decided the song would benefit from keys and Per added his magic to the song as well as preserve everybody's performance in crisp detail with his masterful mix.
When I received the final mix it struck me that I wanted artwork too (further emphasising the whole 'spur of the moment/no thinking ahead' feel of this project) and after looking through my albums I approached Plini because of the cover he created for his song 'Cloudburst'. I was thinking of a more urban interpretation of that cover and he immediately grasped what I was going for, even suggesting teaming up with Demas Rusli, a good friend of his and stunning photographer in his own right. What they came up with was better than I imagined possible. Glorious!
Everyone involved brought their A-Game and lifted the whole project to a different level for me. The fun I had and the gratitude I feel for their contributions can only be summed up thusly - Hannes, Erlend, Per, Demas and Plini: I wish to thank you with every fiber of my being.
As for anyone reading this: I sincerely hope you'll enjoy listening to this song as much as I loved making it. credits released March 5, 2016 'Bare Trap' was written by Danny Tunker

About Eternity's End
My name is Christian Muenzner, I'm a guitar player and composer from Bad Neustadt, Germany. I used to play guitar for the bands Obscura and Necrophagist. currently I play with the band Alkaloid and I have released 2 instrumental solo albums, Timewarp and Beyond The Wall Of Sleep.
In 2014 I put together my own band "Eternity's End". It's the realization of a dream I've had for many years to return to the style of music which has been my first love, that is neoclassical power metal with a progressive twist and a powerful, classic metal vocalist. Between fall 2013 and winter 2014/2015 I wrote 10 songs for our debut album "The Fire Within", which we recorded between December 2014 and May 2015. The album was, like my last solo album, mixed, mastered and co-produced by Per Nilsson of Scar Symmetry.
The line up of the band consists of:
Ian Parry - vocals
Christian Muenzner - guitars
Jimmy Pitts - keyboards
Linus Klausenitzer - bass
Hannes Grossmann - drums
It is basically the same line up as my last solo album "Beyond The Wall Of Sleep" with the addition of Ian Parry on vocals. As many of you will know, I also play together with Linus and Hannes in the band Alkaloid, and I used to play with Hannes in Necrophagist and Obscura as well. Ian Parry used to be the vocalist of dutch prog/power metal legends Elegy and also has his own group "Consortium Project", as well as a long solo career and guest contributions for Ayreon and many others.
The music on "The Fire Within" is a blend of 90's European power metal, 80's neoclassical guitar&keyboard wizardry, powerful classic metal vocals, thrashy riffing, progressive elements and a combination of Dio-esque dark, fantasy inspired lyrics and philosophic themes. Speed, aggression, virtuoso musicianship, epic melodies and memorable songwriting with catchy hooks are the cornerstones of the band's sound.
Here you can listen to a medley with snippets from various songs of the album:
