The unstoppable force now known as Eternity X began some fourteen years
ago when singer/songwriter Keith Sudano began to piece together the
band that he called Eternity. The early years passed, with members
flowing in and out the doors, until the new decade, the year of 1990,
which marked a more stable band, having added bassist extraordinaire
Robert Maziekien (Zeek). One year later, Eternity released their first
EP, appropriately entitled "The Never-Ending Dream." The four song
album was sold directly to the fans by the band, bypassing middlemen
and recording contracts.
Two years passed, and more new members entered the picture. Eternity
once again set themselves to recording, and the end product was an EP
known as "After the Silence," signifying the time that had passed since
"The Never-Ending Dream."
With increasing focus, Eternity surged forward into 1994 to release
"Zodiac," the band's first full-length release as well as their first
concept album. Finally the band began to receive some well-deserved
recognition, earning high marks in overseas magazines and reaching many
new fans.
Over the course of the next year, Eternity went through a member shift
yet again, as well as advancing their music to a greater level yet
again. 1995 marked the release of the full-length album "Mind Games,"
an opus unparalleled in its emotional power. This album saw the band
reaching farther into the style labeled progressive. (That is, the
music became more powerful, emotional, and talent-oriented.)
In the span of the next two years, Eternity went through many changes.
Due to legal reasons, the name Eternity was changed to Eternity X, a
name which, incidentally, more accurately symbolized their musical
direction. Along with the new name, their new album, "The Edge," was
released. This marked many differences from the past Eternity X
releases. First, it was the first album that kept the lineup of the
previous one, with the exception of a new keyboardist. Second, this was
the first album from Eternity X that was released under recording
contract. Increased distribution brought new fans to the fold, and
Eternity X has welcomed all of them.
The band embarked on their first European tour in 1998, playing shows
in Germany and other European nations. After the tour ended, the band
released the news that all members except Keith Sudano and Zeek had
left Eternity X. In the face of the daunting task to acquire new
musicians, Eternity X struggled and prevailed, adding drummer Darren
Patrick and fleshing out the music with the dual guitar sound of Steve
Gerard and Eric Stewart. As 1999 progresses, Eternity X is busy writing
new material for two upcoming albums, "The Order" and "From the Ashes."
The band is also working on formally releasing each of its previous
albums.
In January/February 2000 the band decided to team up with the Danish
based management agency Intromental Management, who firmly believes in
the band and the possibilities for greater success. The idea of seeking
management services was to assist the band in acquiring a more suited
recording deal with a company that could better found the bands
potential.
Now, with the right line up secured and the anticipated new album "From
The Ashes" written, it is in the best interest of the band to pursue
other avenues than what the previous record label could provide.
The new Millennium will see Eternity X rising from the Ashes of a
stalling rock and metal scene, and like Phoenix breathe new life into
the Musical World!
The overall music of Eternity X is multi-colored with all its many
influences. Ranging from uncompromising basic hard rock to
sophisticated technical metal, Eternity X's music is underlined by
classically orchestrated keyboards that are used more for atmosphere
than lead work. The interplay between all the instruments is hard to
describe but easily understood.
Complicated drum patterns take turns with massive energy outbursts of
steady rock drumming intertwined with fills of orchestrated guitars and
bass lines, all used as both rhythm and lead instruments. With his
passionate, emotional, and extremely versatile vocal capacity, Keith
Sudano ranges from the deepest tone to the highest pitch to lift it up
and bind it all together in the perfect unison that is, has been and
always will be Eternity X.
"From The Ashes" is one of those rarely discovered albums where the
music is so much more than just "music". Melodic metal has never been
better and "From The Ashes" will stand its ground as the next highlight
within this scene ... and beyond.
