ETERNAL DESCENT's Losing Faith, the metal/industrial studio project created by multi-talented London musician Llexi Leon, brings to life the anime characters Lyra, Sirian and Loki in an urban gothic fantasy concept surrounded by intense music. Losing Faith, the first in a series of Eternal Descent CD releases on Incendium Records, will be released worldwide on September 18th, 2007.

Eternal Descent's sound weaves elements of metal, industrial, ambient and experimental music fused with romantic filmscore arrangements. Using cutting edge cinematic sound effects, narrative lyrics and fusions of styles from ethereal soundscapes to crushing metal, the aim of this project is to integrate comic book visuals and animation within an album style series of releases.

Losing Faith is the first in this series. Going one step further than simply creating a soundtrack to the comic, the audio will include narrative style lyrics and quotes from the scripts, along with dynamic sound effects and orchestration to accurately portray events and atmospheres within the story. Each track represents a comic book, and the album is split into 3 chapters of 4 tracks. Each chapter will be released as a 4 issue miniseries in comic book format. The first comic to be released will be an issue #0 preview, giving depth to the main characters and providing a backstory and timeline for the album. Music videos are also being created in animation format to bring pivotal events of the story to life in an anime style.

Character explanation:

Lyra: Main female character as depicted on the album cover. The lyrics of the CD narrate the story from her point of view. Lyra is an entirely fictional character. While vocalist Elysha West performs her parts 'in character', Lyra is not actually based on Elysha; however, there is a cameo character in the comic book that is.

Sirian: Main male character as depicted on the album back cover/on the disc itself. "Sirian is somewhat based on myself," remarks Llexi Leon, the creator of Eternal Descent. "He has a similar fashion sense, build, and wields an accurate rendition of the main guitar used for the Eternal Descent recordings. If I could be a hero, I would be Sirian. His guitar solos are all very different, and are performed with his actions and the storyline in mind."

Loki: Sirian's nemesis and the main villain character, also based on Llexi Leon, and in the original designs, looked very much like him. "As the saying goes, 'I am my own worst enemy'," adds Leon. "He is a manifestation of my negativity and my darker sense of humour." On the CD, Loki is represented by raw and dissonant guitar parts, which give a sense of eerie unease or aggression, depending on the situation.
