What to say about ETERNAL CHAMPION? 3 years 3 songs, has dudes from IRON AGE/Far From Breaking and POWER TRIP in it and they play traditional metal, heavy metal.
2 points to be considered here, will the new (metal) listeners of EC go check their hardcore background and dig their previous stuff and will the hardcore kids embrace this new project? Back in 2011 I remember listening for the first time the SFU's Striving Higher compilation and right in the middle of the A-side (for my surprise) there was a metal song by Battle Ruins, all the sudden everything they've put out were highly sought-after inside the hardcore community.
What will be the outcome? Dunno, what I know is that these songs are catchy as fuck! The Retaliator single came out as split 12" by a greek label and limited to 300 hand numbered copies. 60 Retaliator shirts were made and almost vanished, only weird sizes left on their bandcamp.
