Artist History Darkness Eternal was created in 1997 by founding and sole member George Velaetis. Hailing from Canada, George set forth to accomplish a primary goal with Darkness Eternal, and that goal was to create the darkest, most hateful music that he could pull from within his dark soul. He wanted to unleash all the hatred, the rage, the anger, the bitterness, and the depression he has within himself. He created this unholy piece of work to spit in the face of God, blaspheme against any and all organized religion, and to crush this graveland called earth. Under the influence of such greats and legends as Incantation, Immolation, The Chasm, and Autopsy, George set forth to add his own twist into the mix, as he incorporates an unholy attack of dual guitars, forming at times morbid and brooding riffs full of dark atmosphere, switching to a blasting holocaust of despair. Adding to those elements a devastation of slow, gripping, suicidal doom sections, and adding the final touches with cavernous and mystic clean guitars. After three years of writing, arranging, and putting together songs on guitars, bass, drums, and vocals, Darkness Eternal was ready to be exposed to the metal masses..... On July 1st, 2000, Darkness Eternal's debut CD "Dawn Of The Suffering" was unleashed upon the metal masses with 10 tracks of utter torment, despair, non-stop dark atmosphere and unrelenting hatred and depression and displays dark death metal played straight from the heart and soul. Since the release of "Dawn Of The Suffering", Darkness Eternal has received a very good response world-wide. Darkness Eternal appeared on the Canadian Zine's "Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles" compilation CD, Knuckletracks XXIV (Sept. 2000). Darkness Eternal has been given great reviews from such zines as Erebus Webzine, Canadian Assault Zine, Vae Solis Webzine, Eternal Frost Webzine, Unchain The Underground Webzine, Metalcore Zine, Burning Shadow Zine, Himnos Rituales De Guerra Webzine, The Alberta Necrocult Zine, Grendel Webzine, and many more across the world. With "Dawn Of The Suffering" garnering Darkness Eternal its great recognition as one of the darkest and most uncompromising forces in the metal underground, it was time to create and unleash the second coming of Darkness Eternal... On November 15th, 2001, Darkness Eternal returned with a dark vengeance as "Satanchrist" was unleashed to the metal masses. "Satanchrist" features 9 tracks of utter hatred, torment, bitterness, depression, and total uncompromising darkness played with pride, heart, and soul! "Satanchrist" takes what was done on "Dawn Of The Suffering" to all new heights and levels, it is more extreme, more unholy, more intense, more depressing, and most importantly, DARKER than its predecessor! Darkness Eternal will never stray from its original roots and main concepts, but will continue to advance and rise to new levels and will never compromise its unique style and sound for anyone or anybody, no matter what the future has in store. Darkness Eternal has no plans to stop creating its dark devastation, and will continue to do so until death. Darkness Eternal stands for all that is unholy, evil, and all that is true and real. Darkness Eternal dedicates its music to all the TRUE fans of metal across the earth.
