I don't even remember purchasing this 7-inch, but I do know that it was solely based upon having the Eternal track. I never liked Frail, didn't mind Temperance at the time and couldn't care less about Disregard (Frail, round two). Listening back 13+ years later, it's good to see I haven't wavered much in my taste of good/bad hardcore. Frail and Disregard are still completely unlistenable, Temperance is tolerable, though a bit too teen-angst whiny for my mature ears and the Eternal track still fucking shreds.
The first time I ever heard them was through a video of a live set recorded in a garage somewhere in DC. There was something about the energy in that video and the super metallic tinge to the music (and of course my man Martin Castro's crowd slaying) that captivated me and made me rewind that VHS tape probably hundreds of times before finally getting a copy of the demo. I have since lost the demo but have been in touch with Martin who has mp3's of it and is sending them my way. So, wet your ears with this track and expect the demo to be upped in the near future.
Anyone with any Eternal related facts and/or releases — please let me know. If these dudes were this good 13 years ago, I'd love to hear what any of them have done or are doing nowadays.

I got this compilation purely for the Frail track. Not only were they locals, but I loved their sound. I can see how it would be an acquired taste though.
ReplyDeleteThat said, since this post is about Eternal, I will say that the only other song that impressed me on the 7" when I got it was Eternal - they were amazing. Heavy as shit and pretty technical for the time period.
I was always wondering if they had released anything else as well. So I'm interested to see if anyone has any extra info.
I got mp3's of the demo tonight actually, so I will put them up within the next couple of days, or so. Hope to get some more insight on the band first.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, yes
ReplyDeleteWere you ever into Disbelief or Longshot? Both released by Overdose Records. Probably more towards 98 though..
ReplyDeleteBoth bands names only slightly ring a bell. Can't say I was into them, let alone maybe even heard them. Overdose Records, for that matter, hasn't been in my memory the past 15 years either. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteOff-topic, but I saw you posted the Heavyweight (Chubb Fresh's band) demo in like 2005, but the links are dead.
ReplyDeleteWould you be able to re-post it? Or at least upload it somewhere and give me a link to download it? I'd appreciate it - if you don't want to do a re-post, you can put it in the comments to a post on my blog - severedforever.blogspot.com.
Thanks! And I'm still looking forward to that Eternal demo.
They had at least three demos. I think this is from the second or maybe the third. I wonder what happened to the guitarist.
ReplyDeleteThe more I think about it there were four demos, and this is definitely from the second when they still had two guitarists. This song is good but the first one on the demos kills it, I can't wait to hear the demo you uploaded.
ReplyDeleteCan you post the demo you have? I hope its the second or third one.
