Comment: No alterations have been made to the page since the last decline. Reviewing the author's comments, I don't believe WP:AUTHOR is met. They're correct to point out it applies to all creative works (it's also known as WP:CREATIVE), but it has not been established that their works are sufficiently significant.

- Comment: I think WP:BAND is not met. Reprieved to Totality EP is definitely notable so I suggest to submit a draft about it instead. Gheus (talk) 20:15, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
Response: WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR are met. The latter should extend to creators of artistic works in general.Viljowf (talk) 09:56, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Eternal Returns is an Indian metal band from Thane, Maharashtra.[1][2] Active since 2010, the band has released two records and toured Eastern Europe in 2025. Their single "Siege Sombre" was nominated for Best Metal Track at the 2025 Radio City Freedom Awards.[3]
History
[edit]
Eternal Returns was formed in 2009 in Thane, Maharashtra, by vocalist Narendra Patel, drummer Pawan Sharma, bassist Harsh Makwana, and guitarist Jefin Johnson.[4] According to the band, their name is derived from a concept in Indian cosmology, reflecting the themes of cyclical time, death, and rebirth that appear throughout their lyrics.[4]
In early 2020, Eternal Returns began recording their debut EP, Reprieved to Totality. The COVID-19 lockdown interrupted their studio work after recording one track. The band adapted by learning home recording techniques and completed the EP from individual home studios in Mumbai and Thane.[5] The EP included a guest appearance by Kevin Paradis, drummer of French death metal band Benighted, on the track “Salamander the Sorcerer”.[6] New Noise Magazine described the EP as highly aggressive and a “wrecking ball of pure madness”.[7] Rolling Stone India gave the EP ★★★½ and noted that the band's "brutality”.[8] Decibel described the release as “vital” and “brilliant”.[6]
Following the death of their original drummer, Pawan Sharma, during the pandemic, Eternal Returns sought a new collaborator and connected with Ukrainian drummer Viktor Lytvynov via Instagram in 2023. Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Lytvynov recorded drum tracks for the band's album Hunchback Hatred from his home studio in Sumy. Hunchback Hatred was released in December 2023 through the Italian label Wormholedeath Records.[9]
In 2024, Eternal Returns signed with the American label Brutal Records for the release of an upcoming album.[10]
