Los Angeles’ female-fronted progressive metallers ECHOES OF ETERNITY have debuted another new track, entitled 'Memories Of Blood And Gold' on their official MySpace page.

The song comes from their upcoming sophomore album, As Shadows Burn, set for North American release on September 22nd.

Guitarist / songwriter Brandon S. Patton shares some background on the track: “I saw a [History Channel] documentary on the impact gold has had on humanity over the course of history. I came up with the title of the song but Francine [Boucher, vocalist] wrote the lyrics. It’s based loosely on the trampling of México and South America by the Spaniards in their pursuit of gold 400 years ago. I [wrote] the main riffs shortly after the EDGUY tour ended in late 2007. I was inspired by Jon Schaffer's playing in ICED EARTH and wanted to write some riffs that would seemingly fit in on one of their albums. My favorite part of the song is the riff immediately following the guitar solo - it’s just so heavy, thrashy and powerful. Makes me want to headbang every time I hear it. Also, at the beginning of the second verse, Francine does this really cool vocal melody over the main riff of the song.”

As previously reported, a three-and-a-half minute video trailer with footage from Echoes Of Eternity’s bonus DVD is now available below.

States the band: "There was a scene involving a teddy bear, a Ouija board, a crack pipe, and a bottle of Suave lotion that we had to leave out (insert sad face here). The good news is there are snippets of some of the best tunes on our new album and plenty of behind-the-scenes antics!!! Check out the footage of Logan Mader getting his head crushed during the guitar tracking! Our new album, As Shadows Burn, will be out on September 22nd!!!! Don't miss the full-length bonus DVD that is included with it!!"

As Shadows Burn was recorded at the Lair and at Dirty Icon studios in Los Angeles. The album was produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Logan Mader (GOJIRA, DIVINE HERESY, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY).
