Biography

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.

    The new album is not bad at all! It has every characteristic of EToS, it's just a bit less heavy than Before the Bleeding Sun - it's a bit slow, the growing vocals are reduced and there are only 2-3 songs that stand out, the others are just similar to them. Can't label them fillers but they are not far from there. On the other hand - clear vocals and drumming have improved so I think the next album will be better. This one its just a step to their next great album! :)

    Saivon Lapsi seems an average album to me. Jarmo's voice is too prominent, and I don't like the way he sings at all. I mean, he's talented as hell and incredibly good, but I don't like his voice, I like EToS with more growl. :(

    «Saivon Lapsi» is actually really really great, it's the only album aside form «Children of the Dark Waters» that I've heard from them so far, which I also find very enjoyable. Think I need to dig into their older stuff.
