about

“This album is a chaotic masterpiece of metal; it blasts your eardrums with sonic guitarwork, powerful vocals, and vigorous drumming. The pieces vary in length, spanning anywhere from over nine minutes to under three. There are definitely influences here from many classic hard rock bands, including Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, and at times the album even sounds as if it came from that time period. One of the pieces, "Waiting For The Sun," is a nine-minute epic that attacks the listener's ears with rabid, blazing guitars and a bombardment of booming drumwork. Another highpoint on this album is "Love Is All," an explosive track that makes you want to move. Altogether, this release is a powerful blast of pure metal; fans of the stoner rock and doom metal scenes will, without doubt, love this album.”

“Eternal Elysium's third studio album Share would be released via MeteorCity Records on 25 February 2002 to positive acclaim. With worldwide distribution (Century Media in Europe and Revolver in the United States) along with being signed to MeteorCity, the trio would tour the United States for the first time.
In support of Share and performing alongside Witch Mountain the trio would play in thirteen cities (Including an appearance at Stoner Hands of Doom). With the tour being a success the trio would begin work on a split CD with Japanese space rock band Of The Spacistor, working with hardcore drummer Antonio Ishikawa (Formerly of the band MUGA). However after the recordings of the split CD, Toshiaki Umemura would leave the group citing a desire to play guitar and sing in other groups. Ishikawa also took over as the new drummer as Tom Huskinson moved back to New Zealand. With a fill-in bassist in Mitsuru Kondo the band would perform two gigs that summer.”

“One of many Japanese bands proffering slightly "bent" interpretations of Western hard garage and/or psychedelic rock forms, Eternal Elysium has been peddling its trade longer than most. Yet, amazingly, despite nearly a decade of activity, 2002's Share is only the trio's third album proper, a fact explained away by volatile band membership and screwy record contracts. A seven-year gap followed the band's 1993 debut, so that when they finally did score a reliable contract from Meteor City, Eternal Elysium spent much of 2000's excellent Spiritualized D opus working their way through the previous years' huge backlog of quality music. Not surprisingly, turning right around and trying to come up with another album of brand-new material only two years later resulted in a far less road-tested or fool-proof collection of songs, marking Share as a mixed bag, to say the least. Traversing a wide range of psychedelically obsessed doom metal and hard rock, tracks on Share usually fall into one of two categories: short, punchy rockers or long, overdrawn epics (i.e., 8-9 minutes). All this would be fine and good were these truly accomplished compositions, but only a handful of cuts reconcile the band's ever-imaginative songwriting with any decent hooks -- chief among these the driving "Movements and Vibes" and the gargantuan "Waiting for the Sun." But, for the most part, though they evince frequent flashes of inspired lunacy and freaky-cool asides, Eternal Elysium's mad-hatter aural soup rarely condenses into a truly hearty meal. Put bluntly, there's a fine line between free-form and unfocused, and the band's non-linear arrangements and unexpected permutations tend to the latter on Share.”

“Nipponese mechagodzillas of crunch Eternal Elysium deliver stoner metal from its relentless recycling of predictable sources. Although much in the way of synapse-gumming neolithic sludge of the old Sabbath school sluices its way through these tracks, it's evident that EE have listened to a fair share of 80s New Wave/Gothic bands from Bauhaus to Go-Gos to B-52s, not to mention garnering tips in funk from titans like Parliament and Sly Stone. It's not every band that can mix a riff salad from the Sab classic "The Wizard" complete with what sounds suspiciously like a kazoo and then chug into wah-wah disco mode before changing courses yet again and slamming some serious Entombed-style old school death metal at ya. These guys have been described as Clapton's Cream gone Satanic, and indeed a whiff of the 60s does rise through the plumes of ganja-fed bass, feedback haze and garage-band guitar plonk, but its in their eclectic fusion of elements no other culture would conceive of joining that EE shows true originality. Share this with your friends.”

“Eternal Elysium are silly, strange, weird, memorable, and above all, original.
Eternal Elysium, like so many things from Japan, are fascinating. They are both intriguing, and familiar at the same time. Eternal Elysium show what can be done if you don't try to be the same as everyone else, if you try to be different. They are also a reminder of the territories that Stoner Rock has yet to explore, and probably never will. Share's beauty stems from its peculiarity and eccentricity.”
