Album's artwork, created by artist Adrien Bousson, is said to symbolize “God” as a docking place, in which people can find “peace” and “answers”, worship and idolize it rather than investigate and gain the knowledge to answer the unknown. Buy ‘Your Gods, My Enemies’ here (Season Of Mist).

“Unfortunately,” [continue to explain ETERNAL GRAY] “as history proves, these acts of worshiping and idolizing have led to terrible wars, killing of innocent and struggles for control, ironically, by people themselves. The people that are falling from it towards their doom, symbolize the consequence of blind following after a “God”, the most destructive man-made killing machine ever created.”

“We don’t only mean the religious God,” [elaborated the album's theme the band's guitarist and mastermind Dory Gray in an interview conducted by Ov Metal] “but also everything that people give supernatural explanations for or basically everything that gives wrong interpretation. You can also say that the media is something “godlike”, since it dictates us how to feel and when to feel it, or what to think. I’m sure many things would have looked different without media and religion. I don’t want to attack religion so much, but I have to because I’m against it personally. I think it led to so many wars. I think it’s the biggest cause of death in the world. We can argue about it, we can say it’s not religion, but the people who invented it… But I think people lack the responsibility to think for themselves. [Read the rest of it here]

 

ETERNAL GRAY: Your Gods, My Enemies

 

Formed in 2001 in Tel Aviv by guitarist and vocalist Eyal Glottman, guitarist, bassist and keyboardist Dory “Gray”  Bar-Or, and drummer Eran Asias, ETERNAL GRAY released their first full-length of melodic death metal with a dark twist barely a year after their inception. Entitled ‘Kindless’, the effort was recorded with producer Tommy Tägtgren (of the Tägtgren clan) in The Abyss Studios in Sweden and had featured guest appearances by Peter Tägtgren (HYPOCRISY, PAIN) and Marcel Schirmer (DESTRUCTION). Released in 2002 on Listenable Records and Raven Music, ‘Kindless’ went on to score high grades with metal press and was awarded with “album of the month” titles by some of the major metal magazines:

ETERNAL GRAY recorded their never-released EP entitled ‘Numb’ in 2005, but, plagued by numerous personnel changes, the group disbanded in 2006. In 2007 new line-up reassembled with Oren Balbus on vocals, Dory Gray on guitars, Auria Sapir on guitars, Gil Ben – Ya'akov on bass, and Dror Goldstein on drums to record the follow-up to ETERNAL GRAY's successful debut album “which changed the face of Israeli metal scene and set the standard for years to come”.
