Hammers sing A chorus of nails Crows on a wire Old man slavin’ On black box walls Over a nameless grave Don’t spare the rod For a devil’s son Eye for an eye Hear that music? Each sin a nail Go cast your stone Obsidian sky Over darkened hills Crows a-callin’ Deluge of rain Won’t wash away Blood on my hands Noose grows tight As the world grows dark Over a nameless grave Old man slavin’ Black box home Crows fly away

Dying is easy Dying's so easy When you're already dead Demons all my own Fought 'em all those years Haul that stone Visions of graves Visions of graves She goes black Slow death Bottom of the bottle Blind my eyes Darkness shines bright Darkness shines bright Lost in plain sight Hellhound on my trail Never saw him there The dead die hard King of nothing Lowly king of nothing Only good as a martyr She weeps no more And so I go Falling down like hail

Dregs of a preacher Drags a ten-ton soul Thousand christs on a cross Raining blood in the sewers Demons howl in the rectory Throwin’ dice for the take Careful with the tombstone Or fall under its weight In the land of prophets That one-eyed loon is king And when all the praying’s done Satan has his day A billion voices Damned to fate If that’s your savior Who gets saved? No salve for the pain As the years become grains In the loam of the graves None beat the lady Wrestling the old whore Watch the mighty fall A billion voices Armageddon’s embrace A fatal ecstasy And none get saved

about

"This is the most enjoyable doom EP I have heard for a while. If you like your Vitus, The Obsessed or anything the man Weinrich has put out you will enjoy this for sure, being as it ploughs a similarly soulful furrow."-- Sludgelord

"...The Brooklyn, New York, three piece are paving their musical journey full of doom blues that is as enticing as it is menacing."-- Heavy Planet

"Unpretentious in the style’s tradition... the rolling groove of Sabbathian opener 'Obsidian Sky' setting the tone for straightforward, few-frills darkness."--The Obelisk

"The self-titled EP gives us a plenty to admire, but the second song ('The Dead Die Hard') will occupy a coveted place in my collection of favorite songs, if for no other reason than that damned catchy opening riff, so filled with mystery and emotion."--Doomed & Stoned

"The three song EP takes the traditional doom-and-gloom of Saint Vitus and southern fries it a la Down and Corrosion of Conformity, creating some dark and groovy rock 'n' roll" -- The Truth Metal Reviews

"A few menacing riffs and a strong rhythm section later, and their self titled three song EP has brought all of the grit and honesty of Saint Vitus (the band, not the venue) back to the Brooklyn scene." -- Sorrow Eternal

"...This 3 track EP from new Doom trio Eternal Black is some particularly inspired pathos… a lot of Maryland-style, mixed with a little Orange Goblin and some NOLA-era Down… basically, a whole lotta riff and a whole lotta groove played with a whole lotta feeling." -- Hellride Music
www.hellridemusicforums.com/forum/showthread.php?p=426931#post426931

"The three song self-titled EP from the Brooklyn-based Eternal Black is a hugely monolithic offering of Traditional Doom that hearkens back to the early days of our beloved Doom genre’s birth pangs." -- Metal Nexus

"Through a haze of grimy, overdriven tone and feedback the trio lay down seriously groovy, Wino-influenced doom riffs." -- Hellbound.ca

"This EP’s three songs clearly let it be known that these guys are to be taken seriously as they have something under their belts that is ballsy and will definitely appeal to fans of pure, back to the basics Doom." -- Stoned Meadow of Doom
