Get ready for a sonic assault like no other, as blackened thrash metal entity Eternal Drak storms stages across Quebec this fall. The band’s sixth full-length album, “The Violence of Time,” is out now, and with it, a run of regional tour dates that promises to bring the band’s most aggressive and concept-driven material to date directly to fans in the province.
The Album: A Conceptual Masterpiece
Across its ten tracks, “The Violence of Time” dismantles the human understanding of past, present, and future. Each song is a violent thesis, a sonic and lyrical strike against the idea that time can be explained, contained, or understood. Instead of offering conclusions, the album explores fragments of realization, exposing how time pressures identity, warps memory, and rewrites causality.
“The Violence of Time” is built for true old-school metal devotees: those drawn to the raw spirit of thrash, the darkness of black metal, and the severity of death metal. Eternal Drak merge analog aggression with digital density, resulting in a sound that is varied in rhythm and catchy in impact, sharpened into their most cohesive identity yet.
Eternal Drak will perform at the following dates and venues:
Sept 4 – Quebec City, QC – Sonum
Oct 17 – Saint-Marie, QC – Bar Café Notre-Dame
Oct 31 – Montreal, QC – Piranha Bar

About Eternal Drak
Eternal Drak is an extreme metal band based in Quebec City, Canada, originally founded in Latin America in the late ’90s. Rooted in a fierce blend of thrash and black metal, the band has continually expanded its sound with elements of death metal, groove, and melodic experimentation. Lyrically, Eternal Drak explores human and cosmic darkness, a theme present across all seven of its official releases.
The band is currently signed to the Canadian label FirstWave. Formed in 1997 by brothers Drakar and Warhammer, later joined by guitarist Reijav, Eternal Drak quickly gained recognition, winning a City TV award for Best Metal Video in the early 2000s. After releasing early EPs and their first full-length, the band went on hiatus in 2007.
In 2020, the members reunited in Quebec to create The Past Is Gone, A New One Is Coming, honoring co-founder and drummer Eduardo “Warhammer” Martínez. This revival led to a prolific new era, including the albums Drak Metal (2021), Shadow Storm (2022), Imprisoned Souls (2024), and multiple EPs. The lineup later expanded with guitarist Mike Amyot and drummer Patrick Auger.
Today, Eternal Drak (featuring Andres Martinez Torres (Drakar) – Vocals, Lead Guitar, Bass, and Michel Amyot – Rhythm Guitar) continues to evolve while staying true to its extreme metal roots.
