Eternal Idol - 'The Enemy Is Me' (official lyric video)

You are the reason why
I found a different story to tell about
Through echoes of the past,
I'll find the strength to last.
Am I lost or am I found?
I’ll be brave to hit the ground
I wield the blade but it’s turned on me
Tearing down my dreams

I don't know why I've been calling around
I'm losing myself, face down in the ground
I don't know why I was so blind to see
I don't know if it's you or the enemy is me

The maze of doubt is what I see
With every scar, a tale it seems
Caught in a storm that shines
To give me shivers
Am I the hunter or the prey?
I need to rise, not fade away
The one who craves to wear the crown
Demons, be gone!

Ooooh! Lend me your hand
And elevate me
‘Cause I’m the one who refuses to bow
To the shadows of doubt
I won’t let them hold me down
Find a way to help me
Guide me not to fall on my mistakes

(Every doubt) Every doubt
(Stand your ground) My will, my fear
(Lead your way) Silent secrets
(Silent pray) You gotta stand your ground

Μετά την αποχώρησή του από τους Rhapsody (of Fire) ο Fabio Lione δεν έμεινε αδρανής και σχημάτισε νέο συγκρότημα. Φέρει τ' όνομα Eternal Idol. Μαζί του μουσικοί από συγκροτήματα όπως οι Hollow Haze και οι Secret Sphere.

Πριν από εννέα έτη κυκλοφόρησε το ντεμπούτο τους ("The unrevealed secret"). Ακολούθησε προ πενταετίας ο διάδοχός του τον τίτλο "Renaissance" και το 2021 το ep διασκευών "Rocking with the Idols". Το 2022 αποχώρησε από την μπάντα ο Fabio Lione και αντικαταστάθηκε από τον Gabriele Gozzi.

Εν έτει 2025 οι Eternal Idol επιστρέφουν δισκογραφικά. "Behind a Vision" ο τίτλος του νέου τους πονήματος και αναμένεται να κυκλοφορήσει στην "καρδιά" του καλοκαιριού...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Eternal Idol returns with a revamped, re-energized line-up and an exciting new album, “Behind A Vision” on summer 2025.

Following the departure of Fabio Lione (Rhapsody, Angra) and Claudia Layline, guitarist Nick Savio (Hollow Haze), bassist Andrea Burratto (Secret Sphere, Hell In The Club) and drummer Enrico Fabris, managed to bring on board two young talented singers Gabriele Gozzi ( who recently joined Induction) and Letizia Merlo.

Eternal Idol’s sophomore album is an epic maelstrom of symphonic/melodic metal that will delight fans of the genre who treasure intense songwriting and impeccable vocal performances. Nick Savio worked hard on songwriting and arrangements. The New vocalists added their personal touch on all the songs as well.

The album was recorded between the end of 2019 and early 2020, produced by Nick Savio, and mixed by Simone Mularoni (DGM, Sunstorm). “Behind A Vision” represents a promise and a statement from Eternal Idol: to be one of the absolute best Melodic Metal releases of the year!

Eternal Idol is a symphonic metal band which was put together by Rhapsody and Angra vocalist Fabio Lione Italian guitarist Nick Savio of Hollow Haze. Their plan was to create a new and original sound which could catch symphonic metal fans by surprise.

In fact, Eternal Idol offers an intriguing mix of classic metal, symphonic rock, and a few progressive metal twists. The band’s debut, “The Unrevealed Secret” was released in December 2016 and received an overall excellent response.

The band toured Europe and Italy in support of the release in early 2017. Unfortunately, some internal tensions surfaced after the touring and Eternal Idol went through some line up changes all over the years, but Nick has always been able to regroup and brought a Reenergized line-up and with a brand new album under their belt, the band is now ready to once again unleash its baroque metal sound on the world!»
