Black blood and a bag of bones He walks through a thousand years Crooked jaw and demon’s eye These rags were once a man Shouts out “The worms await!” Spits back as ravens sing Drift away Souls decay Drift away Lost in the Fade Braces for the call of tomorrow As the lost are dragged away Halos always lose their luster When you crawl through the bile Back breaks under the weight Spits blood as the ravens sing Drift away Souls decay Drift away Lost in the Fade He drops down between the planes Been slicing him all these years Dead skin flies away Long faces of all he’s been Still hoping to see the gates Stumbling to a fool’s grave Drift away Souls decay Lost in the Fade

Below 04:42
How low have I sunk? Never dig deep enough Down here it’s all bone dust Souls at zero Her beauty haunts my days Can’t cross that abyss Screamed baby please don’t go Words gone adrift A hell within myself Old saints of decay Torn nails scrape away Still I sink deeper Like a gash that never bleeds Rivers run dry Stab the sun before it flees Skin the moon of its lies Seasons below Seasons below
4.
The Ghost 05:21
Dead man’s hand Damned fool’s fate Dead man’s head Eyes gone gray Dead man’s skin Winding sheet Dead man’s heart Hangs on a nail Drift of days Beyond the veil On that nail Heart still beats
5.
Lay down your hollow bones On that bed of nails If you claw out your eyes Never see the crimes Dig another hole Wash the blood away Snake devours itself Dance for your plagues Choking on the cure Sum of all your fears Can’t hide from the other Can’t hide from the enemy Can’t hide from ourselves Crouching in the weeds Beast of man comes knockin’ How good’s your aim? Isolated, desiccated The husk remains Love of the living dead Sum of all your fears The knot twists and turns Air grows thin Madness reigns The end’s the same
6.
Adrift in the wastes Hole in the sky Falling fragments of mine Lashed to the stone I’ll never lift Grains pierce the skin My war Trapped in mind Old man laughs every time Skeleton tree With arms to the sky The sands wash over me Wreck of mine A nowhere place All ground down Without a trace
7.
Three Fates 02:54
8.
Stones mark the way All who fell passed through here Sinners, saints and madmen Soil soaked up the blood Trees stand like titans Sweep away shallow things Cold, cold world Hear the dogs sniffing ‘round Sinners, saints and madmen That slow burn suicide Return from whence you came To the smoke and the sea Across the mirror of water Reflections of low days

"...it's live and raw sounding, thick and fuzzed out. This is doom as it should be in America today; angry, abrasive and seething with an undertow of disillusionment."
-- Sludgelord

"On tracks like the post-intro opener 'Lost in the Fade' and the rolling 'The Ghost,' they tap into this omnidirectional aggression, and even as 'Sum of All Your Fears' hits into a chorus ripe for comparison to Deliverance-style C.O.C. ...the band maintain their downtrodden atmosphere instrumentally and lyrically, taking what they want from the past and making it their own." -- The Obelisk

"Eternal Black don’t beat around the bush about the fact they are a true American doom band. One with a foot in the traditional past, while the other treads in the real time, here and now. With songs like “Sum Of All Fears” and “Sinners, Saints, And Madmen“, our thunderous three acknowledge the greats like Iommi, Edling, and Wartell/Franklin in the band’s guitar emissions. The same can be said for the bass and drums, wearing influences of Butler and Ward, or Reeder and Rogers, openly for all to hear." -- Riff Relevant

"With their second album, Slow Burn Suicide, Brooklyn, New York's Eternal Black deliver old school doom in spades. The band most definitely carries their inspiration on their sleeves, you can hear the sounds of Saint Vitus throughout the record as the bands massive sound and growled, dark lyrics plunge deep into the heart and soul of the listener. While the style is old school, the sound is impressive, the record is impressively recorded and played with precision and a style all their own. "

"A tour de force of doom that feels equal parts the modern crunch-fest packed with riffs right to left and homage to the classic spirit of proto-doom that all comes together immensely well." -- Headbanger Reviews

"I’ll be honest with you guys: I’m not really sure what to write here about Eternal Black’s newest record, Slow Burn Suicide. The best thing I can think of is that it kicks so much ass that the band should be in a jail cell for assault."
-- Heavy Blog Is Heavy

"Here we have some real riff-worshippers, and we’ve caught them in an act of devotion."
-- Wonderbox Metal

"If you desire a band that plays raw and powerful music and uses the pillars of traditional doom to create their own modern interpretation of doom, Eternal Black’s new album is strongly recommended." -- Orange Maze
orangemazes.wordpress.com/2019/08/01/eternal-black/

"Toda una revolución regenerativa llena de sorpresas y algunos cambios en la dirección musical, bastante notables, pero sobre todo, evidenciando sus influencias. Digamos que algo de Corrosion Of Conformity se mueve dentro de lo nuevo de Eternal Black y eso sin duda, es una gran noticia. Como si los neoyorquinos se adentrarán en los cenagales de Carolina del Norte y sacaron provecho de las resonancias fangosas que la historia precede a ese estado norteamericano. Cuando escuchas un álbum como 'Slow Burn Suicide', muchas miradas se centran en ese titán denominado 'Lost In The Fade', pista más larga del álbum y también dotada de una extensión para reforzar las ideas de Eternal Black. ¿Saint Vitus?, ¿The Obsessed tal vez?, en cualquier caso, armonías que al leal seguidor del género, enamorarán profundamente."
