Eternal Returns — Let There Be Sin

India’s Eternal Returns have stomped back into the global spotlight with Let There Be Sin, a nine track behemoth that doesn’t just flirt with brutality, it shacks up with it and sets the bloody house on fire. Released via Brutal Records on September 5, ‘25, this album is proof that the Indian extreme metal scene isn’t just alive, it’s thriving, feral, and ready to kick in doors worldwide.

From opener “Birth – Life – Death”, the band lock into building theatrics, dragging listeners straight into the eternal cycle of existence. Each track takes on one of the seven deadly sins, and Eternal Returns doesn’t just explore them, they bludgeon them into your skull with technical precision and dark, melodic fury. Tracks like “Wrath” and “Greed” are sonic battering rams, while “Lust” and “Envy” weave in melodic passages that remind you these blokes aren’t just heavy for the sake of it — they’ve got brains behind the brawn.

Sonically, the band fuse death metal’s technical firepower, thrash’s raw aggression, and just enough groove to keep your head banging until your neck gives out. Think Sepultura colliding with Arch Enemy and Lamb of God — then chuck in an unmistakable Indian philosophical twist, and you’ve got something genuinely unique.

The concept? Bloody genius. Each sin tied to striking imagery, all circling around that serpent encased diamond — the symbol of Eternal Returns itself, eternal, unyielding, impossible to ignore. It’s a clever mix of mythology, spirituality, and pure fucking heaviness.

Let There Be Sin isn’t just another metal record, it’s a statement. A loud, snarling reminder that Eternal Returns are here to carve their name into the global extreme metal landscape, and they’ve done it with enough power to wake the dead 💀
