Eternal's 2000 BE The Dark Ages is a hauntingly beautiful album that takes listeners on a journey through the darkest moments of human history. From the opening track "Intro" to the final notes of "The Eternal," the album creates a sense of foreboding and unease that is hard to shake off.
The album's sound is a mix of gothic rock and symphonic metal, with haunting melodies and epic choruses that are sure to send shivers down your spine. The lyrics are equally powerful, exploring themes of war, death, and the human condition in a way that is both poetic and thought-provoking.
Standout tracks include "The Dying Light," with its soaring vocals and epic guitar riffs, and "The Sombre," which features a haunting piano melody that lingers long after the song is over. The album's title track, "BE The Dark Ages," is also a standout, with its ominous chanting and thunderous drums.
