ETERNAL DESCENT To Release Limited-Edition Disc

February 15, 2008

ETERNAL DESCENT's Llexi Leon will collaborate with David Chang (STAMPIN' GROUND, EARTHTONE9, GORRETTED, PANIC CELL) on co-production/mixing, and Jason Metcalf (DC Comics) on pencils and inks along with Javier Tartaglia on colors for the artwork, to release a limited edition of the single "Phantom of the Opera" on May 10, 2008 through Incendium Records. The single will also feature previously unreleased instrumental bonus tracks. The "Phantom" single artwork depicts ETERNAL DESCENT characters Loki and Lyra taking on the roles of the Phantom and Christine. The release will contain bonus tracks which will be available with the artwork via digital download once physical stocks are depleted. The title track will also be distributed freely as a stand alone MP3 for a short period of time.

The "Phantom of the Opera" single is a taste of things to come from the new ETERNAL DESCENT album and comic slated for an August, 2008 release, and will be the first time characters other than Lyra are given vocal parts on an album.

ETERNAL DESCENT's 2007 release "Losing Faith" continues to see significant success with the media and has been hailed as one of the best concept albums on the market. WCH Radio named the track "Our Own Devils" from "Losing Faith" as one of the Top 30 songs of 2007.

ETERNAL DESCENT's sound weaves elements of metal, industrial, ambient and experimental music fused with romantic filmscore arrangements. Using cutting edge cinematic sound effects, narrative lyrics and fusions of styles from ethereal soundscapes to crushing metal, the aim of this project is to integrate comic book visuals and animation within an album style series of releases. "Losing Faith" is the first in this series. Going one step further than simply creating a soundtrack to the comic, the audio will include narrative style lyrics and quotes from the scripts, along with dynamic sound effects and orchestration to accurately portray events and atmospheres within the story. Each track represents a comic book, and the album is split into three chapters of four tracks. Each chapter will be released as a 4 issue miniseries in comic book format. The first comic to be released will be an issue #0 preview, giving depth to the main characters and providing a backstory and timeline for the album. Music videos are also being created in animation format to bring pivotal events of the story to life in an anime style.
