The five members of the band- Michael Buckley, Jeremy Mosiejczuk, Andrew Cornale, Nathanael Edwards and Shane Carroll, fueled by their passion for music, they're determined to make a mark in the heavy music scene. With the release of their self-titled, five track first release recorded with Dave Hammer, they've proved they have what it takes to do so.
For All Eternity have managed to create a winning cocktail of roof raising, thundering heaviness and smooth melody. Full of breakdowns, floor shaking double kicks, acrobatic melodies on the fret boards, and brutal powerhouse screams complemented by resonating clean vocals, the new release will no doubt excite metalcore fans. From the first track Avail, creative arrangements keep the listener's attention. The intricate drum intro leading into a shattering five-bar scream sets the record up to be a very engaging listen. It continues in this fashion right up until delicate piano chords in the final track provide the outro to the listening experience.

These are the kind of bands that success ought to follow. Whether it's performing, taking the time to actually get to know the people who follow their music, or relentlessly promoting their shows, you can be assured that it's done with fervor.
With such an impressive and polished first release under their belts and an intertwining mix of talent, enthusiasm and the will to work hard, For All Eternity is definitely a band to watch closely in 2009. The almost prophetic lyric 'the sun will fall, and we will rise' hints that this is a band unwavering in their mission to take their music, and message, to as many people as possible.
Vacant Room
For All Eternity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scratching at the walls, imprisoned in this state of mind.
Brought into life with no hope in sight.
Scratching at the walls of my new found home, the paint sits deep under my nails,
A constant reminder of the attempts ive made,To escape from this place, to free myself from pain.
To loosen these chains.
To escape from this place, to free myself from pain,
To rid my heart of hate. Rid my life of hate.
Isolated from the truth(from the truth).
Do my eyes deceive me by what they have not seen,
Freedom, the one desire that will never cease.There must be more to this life of mine.
There is something deep inside that testifies of a greater kind.
I cannot simply reach out for something better.
I sit here incapable of such a feat, predetermined defeat,
Unable to see past these walls around me.
My mind, an empty room with no windows to see through.
Isolated from the truth(from the truth).
Do my eyes deceive me by what they have not seen,
Freedom, the one desire that will never cease.
My heart, it needs to change.
I need a change.
In For All Eternity's song Vacant Room, the lyrics speak of a feeling of entrapment and hopelessness within the mind. The singer is stuck in a room, isolated from the outside world, and unable to escape the pain and hate that consumes them. The walls are a constant reminder of their failed attempts to break free and achieve a better life. The lyrics also express the desire for something more, a greater purpose or kind, but the singer feels incapable of reaching for it.
The line "My mind, an empty room with no windows to see through" describes the feeling of being trapped within one's own thoughts and emotions, without any way to see outside of them. This can make it difficult to grasp reality and see past negative thoughts and beliefs. The singer is tormented by the fact that they cannot simply reach for something better, and they feel defeated and predetermined to their fate.
The song ultimately conveys the need for change and freedom from these negative thoughts, emotions, and situations. It is a call to break free from the chains of hate and pain and to find purpose and fulfillment in life.
