Pudasjärvi, Finland (1994 – present)

Eternal Tears of Sorrow (EToS) is a band, that incorporates music in their songs. They formed in Pudasjärvi, Finland.

The band was officially formed in 1994 by Jarmo Puolakanaho, Altti Veteläinen and Olli-Pekka Törrö, after some previous various metal projects (Andromeda, M.D.C, D.W.N) between 1991 and 1994, involving some or all of the three members.

Andromeda had been put on hold in late 1992 because the rehearsal place had burned down. It seemed their home town wasn’t able to give them a new rehearsal place, so the three members decided to start up a new, drummerless sideproject (M.D.C.) and recorded a demo tape Beyond The Fantasy in autumn 1993. However, the songs on the demo were much better than they had expected, so they decided to go on with the project.

In spring 1994, they recorded a new demo, The Seven Goddesses of Frost. Because the town was still unable to provide Andromeda a new reharsal place, and the project had become a serious band, the band decided to change their name to more serious Eternal Tears of Sorrow. Between 1994 and 1996 the band was busy (in spite of all of the members doing their compulsory military services): they recorded their first studio demo tape (Bard’s Burial), had a couple of songs on some compilation CDs in Europe and Canada and recorded their debut album, Sinner’s Serenade. It took more than a year for the debut album to get released by X-Treme Records, a small underground label from Gothenburg in Sweden.

    LOL @ anyone considering Metalstorm to be a reliable source. The info on that website can be added and edited by any of its users... just like on Wikipedia.

    Can't wait for it. It's been a while since I listened to EtoS anyway. Can you tell us anything about the musical direction? Does it continue in the same path with your recent work or are you guys doing something new? To be honest, I kinda miss your old style of music, the Chaotic Beauty era etc. Never been a big fan of the overly melodic stuff.

    @massoudd3j "the next album will release on 2013. I checked on metalstorm.net." Even we don't know the exact release date. Most of the songs have already been recorded, anyway, and we need to record the vocals and the keyboards for five songs in June or July. Before that, there will be a single as well as a video.

    much good appreciated atmospheric metal type... the keyboard riffs that start at 5:45m in "Angelheart, Ravenheart (Act 1)" is AMAZING!!!
