ETERNAL WHITE TREES Prelude of Loss CD

From the melancholic heart of Italy, Eternal White Trees returns in 2025 with their highly anticipated second album, Prelude of Loss. Released through the taste-making label My Kingdom Music, this record is a definitive masterpiece of Melodic Death/Doom and Gothic Metal. If you find solace in the atmospheric sorrow of early Katatonia, the elegance of Swallow the Sun, or the emotional weight of October Tide, this CD is an essential addition to your collection. The journey begins with the flickering hope of Time in a Candle, quickly spiraling into the gray-skied melodies of The Last Dance. The band truly shines on the epic, seven-minute Pale Sun Sad Moon, a track that perfectly balances crushing riffs with hauntingly beautiful clean passages. Throughout the album, tracks like A Stranger Inside the Mirror and Not Anymore explore themes of identity and grief with a poetic touch that is uniquely Italian. A surprising highlight is the band’s bold interpretation of the Talk Talk classic, Such a Shame. Transformed into a dark, metallic anthem, it fits seamlessly between the atmospheric depths of Into the Abyss of Night and the fragile introspection of Rest for a Moment. As the album nears its end with the powerful The Army of Nothing and the soaring Upon the Moon, Eternal White Trees cements their reputation for crafting music that is as heavy on the heart as it is on the ears. The record concludes with the finality of Time Has Come, leaving the listener submerged in a beautifully crafted world of shadows. This CD edition is a mandatory acquisition for those who believe that extreme metal should be as much about soul and atmosphere as it is about power.
