Eternal Dissonance Interview

 

 1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the solo project? Hello, first of all thanks a lot for this interview and interest in this project, it means a lot. Eternal Dissonance is a One Man band, an instrumental Atmospheric black metal project from Mallorca (Spain). Formed back in 2019, where I can reflect one of my personal visions of music, in a more ambiental, melancholic and nostalgic way. 2.In June you have a new album coming out, musically how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past? I like to think it’s an evolution of the previous stuff, production has improved a lot since the first album and I try to evolve in that aspect with every new work. In terms of composition, while the first album (Winds of Melancholy) was more in the vein of ambient/atmospheric black metal and the second EP (Enlightened Passage) was more “post rock’, this new Album is a mix of those styles where I blend aggression and epicness of black metal and the melancholy and dynamics of Post-rock. 3.You also have a background playing death metal, do you consider yourself a very diverse musician when it comes to playing different extreme metal genres? Yes I am in two Death metal projects, Neglected and Xenoautopsy. I love extreme metal, Death Metal and Black Metal are my main genres. If I had time I would be in much more projects! 4.So far with this project all of the music has been instrumental, are you open to using vocals or lyrics on future releases? Absolutely, if the time comes and the song calls for vocals, of course. 5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Eternal Dissonance'? It doesn’t have an special meaning, it just appeared and thought it was a well fitting name for the project and the music it represents. 6.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover/ The artwork was made by Gragoth of Luciferium Graphics, he also made the artwork for the album Lost in Uncertainty of my other black metal project Wounded Soul. It represents the nature and a path to the infinite, which represents the Album title “Through the Endless” 7.With this project you record everything by yourself but have experience working with other musicians in other bands, do you prefer to work solo? It depends, working solo is cool because you have control over everything and there’s no pressure, working with other musicians can be harder because there are more minds and ideas on the project… but on the other hand you learn a lot from them and playing with people it’s really cool and fun, instead of playing only by yourself. 8.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black metal? I know Eternal Dissonance it’s not that classical black metal, but overall it has good reviews and it seems that people like the music, couldn’t be happier about that. 9.What is going on with some of the other bands or musical projects these days that you are a part of? A lot of work! A month ago the Slamming Brutal Death Metal project Xenoautopsy released it’s debut album “Irreversible Anthropocide” via “Inherited Suffering Records” And with the Brutal Death metal band Neglected (which we play Live) we are taking some time to compose our debut album (we already have an EP called “Acts of Depravity”, released via Brutal Mind) which we plan to hit the studio at the start of 2026. Lastly, Wounded Soul, we have some material for our second album, but nothing finished yet. 10.Where do you see yourself heading into as a musician during the future? I hope releasing a lot of music and play live in a lot of places! 11.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays? I really take inspiration from post black metal and Depressive Black metal mainly, such as bands like Der Weg Einer Freiheit, Advent Sorrow, Deafheaven, Sunken… And nowadays I'm mainly listening to a mix of Black and Death metal such as Psychonaut 4, Soulless, Defeated Sanity, Gorgasm… 12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts? Just Wanted to thank you guys for the interest and also to the people that keeps supporting my music and takes the time to give it a listen!

Eternal Dissonance/Through The Endless/Darkwoods/2025 Full Length Review

 


  Eternal  Dissonance  are  a  solo  project  from  Spain  that  plays  a  very  atmospheric  and  instrumental  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  2025  album  "Through  The  Endless"  which  will  be  released  in  June  by  Darkwoods.


 Clean  playing  starts  off  the  album  before  going  into  a  heavier  direction  while  the  solos  and  leads  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style.  All  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  along  with  the  music  also  having  its  atmospheric  moments  and  the  whole  recording  also  avoids  the  use  of  vocals.


  Synths  can  also  be  heard  at  times  while  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  add  in  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats  which  also  gives  the  album  more  of  a  raw  feeling.  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  along  with  the  riffs  also  adding  in  a  decent  amount  of  melody,  most  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length.


  Eternal  Dissonance  plays  a  style  of  black  metal  that  is  very  modern  aggressive  and  atmospheric  sounding  as  well  as  keeping  everything  instrumental  while  the  production  also  sounds  very  professional.  


  In  my  opinion  Eternal  Dissonance  are  a  very  great  sounding  instrumental  and  atmospheric  black  metal  solo  project  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Through  The  Endless"  and  "The  Incandescent  light'.  8  out  of  10.
