Some time after, in late 2007, Kheryon (now playing bass too) and Tephros reformed Death Valley and brought Daniel Maganto as guitarist. After a few rehearsals Daniel invited his friend Winterwolf to join as second guitarist: now the line-up was complete, so they started writing music in the vein of old school melodic death metal with some black metal touches and other traces of their own, blending aggression with melodic guitar work and epic riffs as well as atmospheric nuances. Tephros left the band some time after because of time issues with his degree. The band spent a short period as a trio and then a couple of months jamming with Carlos Gumuzio (currently in The Descent), who would eventually leave the band in order to have more time in his other projects as a vocalist.
During mid 2009 Death Valley changed his name to Eternal Storm just before recording their first songs: the new name shows the progression in the band's style and concept. In October 2009, Ramรณn Mejรญas de Salas joined Eternal Storm and the quartet started to perform their first shows. After some difficult times which followed Ramon's departure, it was during July 2011 when Luis "Lucho" Rodrรญguez from the almighty progressive metalheads Distance closed the lineup and their debut EP is set for 2013.
Line-up:
Kheryon - Vocals/Bass (2006-)
Jaime Torres - Guitar (2008-)
Daniel Maganto - Guitar (2007-)
Luis Rodrรญguez - Drums (2011-)

The Mountain
Eternal Storm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As it softly cracks the leaves,
It knows not road nor path
Yet it wanders through them all
Knows not of master,
Yet it preaches to no one
It sets no certain goal
Seek to grasp, youโฒll lose a kingdom
Learn how to observe the flow, you'll win a thousand more
And so it keeps its journey,
Unattached to that whatโฒs fake
Leaving behind the remnants
Of a weaker former self
"No false hopes will bring serenity"
Seek to grasp, you'll lose a kingdom
Learn how to observe the flow, you'll win a thousand more
"Behold the edge,
A shapeless self, choices around you.
Hiding the answers,
The greed of my doubts"
The lyrics of Eternal Storm's song "The Mountain" open with a vivid imagery of the wind softly rustling through the leaves. The wind, portrayed as a free-spirited entity without a set path or direction, symbolizes the concept of embracing uncertainty and unpredictability. It signifies a form of liberation from the constraints of societal norms and expectations. By emphasizing the wind's aimless wandering, the song sets a tone of exploring the unknown and relinquishing control.
The lyrics then touch upon the theme of self-discovery and personal evolution. The idea that the wind "knows not of master" suggests a rejection of external influences or authority figures. Instead, it encourages introspection and self-reliance in one's journey towards growth and enlightenment. By not setting a specific goal, the wind becomes a metaphor for embracing the journey itself rather than fixating on the destination, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself amidst life's uncertainties.
The chorus emphasizes a valuable lesson about the nature of striving for power versus embracing the natural flow of life. "Seek to grasp, you'll lose a kingdom; learn how to observe the flow, you'll win a thousand more" conveys the idea that true abundance and fulfillment come from aligning oneself with the rhythms of existence rather than attempting to control or dominate it. It speaks to the concept of surrendering ego-driven desires in favor of embracing the interconnectedness of all things.
As the song progresses, it delves deeper into the themes of authenticity and letting go of illusions. The lines "Leaving behind the remnants of a weaker former self" suggest a shedding of past insecurities and falsehoods in order to embrace a truer sense of self. The rejection of "false hopes" symbolizes a commitment to facing reality with clarity and honesty, rather than succumbing to delusions. Overall, "The Mountain" by Eternal Storm serves as a poignant meditation on self-discovery, acceptance, and the pursuit of inner peace amidst life's uncertainties.

You hear the wind now,
Listen to the quiet whispers of nature
As it softly cracks the leaves,
Even the gentlest touch can make an impact
It knows not road nor path
Nature moves freely without boundaries
Yet it wanders through them all
Embracing the journey without hesitation
Knows not of master,
There is no need for control or authority
Yet it preaches to no one
Teaching a lesson without speaking a word
It sets no certain goal
Focusing on the present rather than the future
It becomes one with the nothing and the all
Finding unity in the vastness of existence
Seek to grasp, you'll lose a kingdom
Letting go of control leads to greater rewards
Learn how to observe the flow, you'll win a thousand more
Understanding the natural order brings abundance
And so it keeps its journey,
Continuing forward without attachment
Unattached to that whatโฒs fake
Rejecting illusions and falsehoods
Leaving behind the remnants
Shedding the past to embrace growth
Of a weaker former self
Transforming into a stronger version
"No false hopes will bring serenity"
Only by facing reality can true peace be found
"Behold the edge,
Recognize the boundary between truth and falsehood
A shapeless self, choices around you.
In a world of options, stay true to yourself
Hiding the answers,
The truth may be obscured but it's always there
The greed of my doubts"
The desire for certainty can cloud judgment

LYRICS:
Tired of walking, my aimless steps lead me here
To these falls of stone covered by moss
A place to grow, to success, to create
To recover from my wounds and empower myself
Here is where I want to be
Here is where I want to be
Now my bleeding feet are starting to heal
My burning lungs can now breath free
The sweat and tears I've spilled through this life
Are rewarded with the wonders of this place
Here is where I want to be forever
"Even though we are born alone, we grow accompanied, accompanied by feelings, joys, sorrows, blood, laughter. Every step we take on our journey brings us closer to the place where, at last, we can grow, the place where we really want to be. Here is where I belong. This is my mountain, this is my place."
Never give up, one more step
The place you need is near
From a wanderer a king will grow
Arix
Bless you man
