ECHOES OF ETERNITY DEBUTS NEW TRACK
Los Angeles’ female-fronted progressive metallers ECHOES OF ETERNITY have debuted a new track entitled “Memories Of Blood And Gold” on their official MySpace page. The song comes from their upcoming sophomore album, As Shadows Burn, set for North American release on September 22nd.
Guitarist / songwriter Brandon S. Patton shares some background on the track:
“I saw a [History Channel] documentary on the impact gold has had on humanity over the course of history. I came up with the title of the song but Francine [Boucher, vocalist] wrote the lyrics. It’s based loosely on the trampling of México and South America by the Spaniards in their pursuit of gold 400 years ago. I [wrote] the main riffs shortly after the EDGUY tour ended in late 2007. I was inspired by Jon Schaffer's playing in Iced Earth and wanted to write some riffs that would seemingly fit in on one of their albums. My favorite part of the song is the riff immediately following the guitar solo - it’s just so heavy, thrashy and powerful. Makes me want to headbang every time I hear it. Also, at the beginning of the second verse, Francine does this really cool vocal melody over the main riff of the song.”
The track listing for As Shadows Burn is as follows:
01. Ten Of Swords
02. A Veiled Horizon
03. Memories Of Blood And Gold
04. The Scarlet Embrace
05. Descent Of A Blackened Soul
06. Twilight Fires
07. Buried Beneath A Thousand Dreams
08. Letalis Deus
