Following the momentum of the Celestial EP, The Eternal now unveil a new animated lyric video for their latest single Lament For The Hollow, the first glimpse into their upcoming album Obscured Horizons, due September 18th via Reigning Phoenix Music.

Lament For The Hollow opens wide from the first note, huge, sweeping guitar harmonies stretching out like something trying to remember its own shape. From there it unfolds into those signature Eternal hallmarks: melancholy melody lines that stick under your skin, vocals that sound like they’ve been pulled through years of weather, and a sense of scale that feels less like a song and more like a landscape slowly sinking.

It’s Gothic, it’s Progressive, it’s Heavy.

The band’s previous work, including 2024’s Skinwalker, already carved them a reputation for balancing Doom-laden density with atmosphere and restraint, but this new track pushes further outward. Visually, the animated video doubles down on that mood. A storm-battered sea dominates the imagery, waves rolling in like they’ve got unfinished business. Nothing sits still for long. Everything feels on the edge of breaking apart or washing away entirely. It’s not just accompaniment, it’s extension. The song and the visuals are pulling in the same direction: erosion, pressure, and release.

Vocalist and guitarist Mark Kelson frames the track as something born from internal fracture, identity slipping, illusions collapsing, and the uncomfortable clarity that comes when you stop trusting the sounds around you.

Stripped of interpretation, that’s exactly what the music sounds like too. A slow dismantling of certainty, dressed up in guitars and atmosphere.

Lament For The Hollow doesn’t try to comfort you. It lingers in that space where things have already started falling apart, but haven’t quite finished hitting the ground.

And as an introduction to Obscured Horizons, it doesn’t just set the tone, it drags you into the depths and lets the water decide what you keep.
