In today’s A-Z challenge, we tasked Eternal with 26 questions to tell us all about themselves!
A song that made you want to make music?
It’s got to be Holy Wars… The Punishment Due by Megadeth.
Best rider you’ve had?
A chicken place here in Greece called Jackaroo. Lots of it, unlimited beer, chips and Coca Cola.
Craziest moment you’ve had in the band?
Playing at a festival on a football court with thousands of people in a circle pit.
Deepest lyric one of your songs features?
It’s taken from the track Fake Reality:
“Wasting all your life with no remorse
Being terrified by your thoughts
Looking down, your demise comes too close”
Easiest song you wrote?
The song that came together most easily was Man Down (In the Front Row), but not in a filler kind of way. It just flowed out of us.
Favourite song in your set?
Our favourite song in the set is definitely My Way or No Way. Just pure, raw energy.
Guest you’d most like to feature on your record?
It would be crazy to have a feature from the legendary Brandon Ellis.
Hardest thing about being in a band?
The sacrifices we make together, along with the time and money spent.
Interesting fact about one of your members?
Our guitarist Spiros is a business administrator.
Jokes you have in the band?
“No More Tears…” It’s an inside joke about Spiros’ ex. Nothing to do with Ozzy though.
Key to writing a song?
Start with a basic idea or riff and work on it with the rest of the band during writing sessions, bringing different ideas to the table.
Longest distance you’ve travelled to play a show?
Not too far yet, just 500km, but something is in the works.
Most inspiring musician you’ve experienced?
It has to be Gus Drax, former lead guitarist of Suicidal Angels.
New band you’d recommend?
Our Greek thrash buddies Pellocuse. Great music and, most of all, great guys to hang out with.
Opening for this band would be ideal?
Yeah, we like playing with them. They’re great on stage.
Place you’d most like to tour?
All of Europe, basically.
Quote you’d like to pass on to our readers?
“Life is for thrashing, having fun and drinking beers.”
Reason for the title of your recent or forthcoming release?
The main idea behind Conspiracy of Warheads is an anti war statement. It concerns the concealment of truth in politics and beyond.
See us live at?
We’re going to announce some great shows alongside the release of the album, so stay tuned for more information.
The old days of music were better than the current ones. Do you agree?
Each era has its own mojo. The old days were certainly purer, with analogue gear, and getting the word out didn’t involve online promotion. Nowadays, we have the ease of communicating at the press of a button, while bands also have access to many more influences through online services.
Unusual merchandise?
We’re in the middle of creating some unusual accessories as part of our album merch drop, but we can’t announce them yet.
Variations you’d like to do on any of your songs?
Haha, it would be fun to do a reggae version of My Way or No Way sometime.
What do your fans mean to you?
They mean everything to us. Without them, we wouldn’t even be a thought. Everything we do is dedicated to them.
X rays or any treatments needed for band related injuries?
Nothing so far, and let’s hope it stays that way, especially with all the headbanging required.
You’re late for a show. Whose fault is it?
Our bassist isn’t quite as smart as you’d think. He always forgets to take his backstage pass with him, so it must be him.
Zoo animal that best describes the personality of your band?
100% cheetah because of all the speed and aggression we try to show through our music.
