Australian death metallers ETERNAL REST will release their debut album, Prophetic, on April 16 in North America via Deepsend Records. The band has also confirmed several tour dates for 2013, including a Winter Aussie tour, a Spring New Zealand tour and have just been added to the Extreme Death Fest Vol. I Japanese tour with ORIGIN.

Recorded and mixed by Joe Haley of Psycroptic, Eternal Rest have crafted a beast of a debut album with Prophetic. Equal parts crushing and ferocious, while maintaining a level of musicianship that should be applauded in a scene that's been saturated with technical overdoses and slow-plodding nightmares.



The album's title track is streaming below:
