Eeuwig – An introduction 

Forged in the isolation of the Dutch lockdowns, Eeuwig emerged from Arnhem in 2022 as a dark and atmospheric new force in European metal.

​​

Born in Isolation

Conceived by Jeroen van Riet (ex-Dead End, My Favorite Scar), the project took shape when he invited Ronald Stempyn (ex-Dead Bolt, Deem Index) to bring his voice to the unfolding vision.
 

Influences

Blending the weight of doom, the aggression of black and death metal, and the shadows of classic rock and new wave, Eeuwig draws inspiration from At The Gates, Paradise Lost, Mastodon, Bathory, Converge, The Ocean, Joy Division, Pantera, Mitski, Chelsea Wolfe, Oceansize, and Candlemass.
 

Their music paints a bleak and captivating soundscape: harsh screams intertwined with clean male and female vocals, crushing riffs, and soaring lead melodies. Eeuwig refuses to fit into a single genre—driven instead by atmosphere, emotion, and eternal heaviness.
 

Voices

A striking presence in the band is Mist, the 18-year-old daughter of Van Riet, whose distinctive voice gives Eeuwig an unmistakable and refreshing edge.

Eeuwig features three vocalists—Stempyn (vocals), Van Riet (vocals & guitar), and Mist (vocals)—creating a dynamic and layered vocal palette that sets the band apart.
 

Band

In 2025, Eeuwig expanded its lineup with several seasoned musicians: Rutger van Noordenburg (ex-Pestilence, Shinigami, Radiathor) – guitar, Daan Janzing (ex-My Favorite Scar, ex-Maiden United) – guitar, and Bart van Unen(Sundowner, Enfer) – bass.

With this strengthened formation,

 

Debut album 

Eeuwig completed its full-length debut album, Older Than Fire and Prayer, set for release on 27 November 2026 through FDA Records. The album marks the culmination of the band's first chapter: a dark, heavy, and deeply atmospheric record that brings together the many different influences and voices that have shaped Eeuwig since its inception.

With Older Than Fire and Prayer, Eeuwig stands ready to carve its place in the European metal landscape—heavier, darker, and more ambitious than ever.
