Quebec City-based extreme metal outfit Eternal Drak have announced the release of their sixth full-length studio album, The Violence of Time, arriving on 17th July 2026 via Canadian label FirstWave. The album represents a philosophical assault from the long-running band, reframing time itself as a hostile, eroding force that distorts human memory and identity.
To spearhead the announcement, the duo has unleashed the album’s opening strike and lead single, “We Force It To Speak.” Rooted in raw black metal yet enriched with acoustic textures and dense atmospheric layering, the track tackles the human obsession with observation and how the act of defining reality alters it beyond recognition. Long-time underground mainstays Andres Martinez Torres (Drakar) and Michel Amyot blend decades of analog and digital experimentation into what they call their most cohesive and intense expression to date, drawing influence from classic forces like Dimmu Borgir, Kreator, and Watain.
Originally founded in Latin America in the late 1990s, the band underwent a prolific multi-album revival upon reuniting in Canada in 2020. The Violence of Time represents a culmination of this continuous evolution, offering ten tracks of uncompromising, extreme introspection. The new single is available to stream now across all major platforms, and physical pre-orders are officially open via Bandcamp.
