I CHOOSE AN ETERNITY OF THIS [DELUXE EDITION] (Trisol / Rehab Records 2018 ©)

the Deluxe Edition of "I Choose an Eternity of This" (digipack) includes:
the nine official tracks of the album + two unreleased tracks
+ "DK" remix and the "single edit" version of "Eternity" †

The three protagonists behind the promising newcomer combo This Eternal Decay are actually well-known faces from the Italian wave scene, among them multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Riccardo Sabetti (Spiral69), bassist Pasquale Vico (Date at Midnight) and drummer Andrea Freda (SPIRITUAL FRONT official page, Spiral69). Together the three thoroughbred musicians indulge their passion for sombre, romantic darkwave, mixed with cool industrial sequences and gently flowing melodic synthpop.
‘I Choose an Eternity of This’ is the first fruit from Rome’s creative sound forge, which comfortably assimilates three decades of musical history and which on these nine powerful album tracks concentrates on the essential, most important elements. The tracks radiate a pleasant, occasionally nebulous coolness and have their roots in the early works of The Cure and Killing Joke: Official right up to Joy Division and Bauhaus, the band. This atmospheric spirit is rounded off by minimalistic beats and synth melodies that are at the same time seductive, intensely celestial and which draw you into their spell. This results in a multifaceted, dynamic and thoroughly captivating symbiosis. Songs such as the pulsating ‘Away’, the promising single spin-off ‘Eternity’, which bears traces of Depeche Mode-like elements, and the dreamy, bittersweet ‘The Abyss’ are magnificent, extremely multifaceted darkwave numbers with a growing addictive factor and irresistibly appealing bleakness.
An absolutely thrilling debut from this unholy Roman alliance.
