Hailing from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Ethereal Collapse is an ardent group of young individuals that hope to do nothing but propagate the true spirit of heavy metal. Throughout its existence, the band has strove only for purity and excellence, crafting songs that embody everything for which good metal stands. Melody, aggression, and other traditional elements are readily discernible throughout each Ethereal Collapse song, and the band works hard to ensure that these elements are recognizable. Blending the sounds of Bay Area thrash with Swedish melodic death metal, they create a frighteningly original brand of music. One year after a signing with Innerstrength Records, the group disbanded, but they have since reunited, and they are once again ready to spread the metal gospel to all who desire it. "Ethereal Collapse is one of the best up and coming melodic death metal bands America has produced. If solos are what you like, then Breaching The Citadel and all of its amazing, sweep-picked leads are just what the doctor ordered." "These guys know how to make melodic death metal!" "Ethereal Collapse personifies every aspect of heavy metal that I happen to love: fast, heavy guitar parts, multiple integrated guitar solos, breakneck drumming, and powerfully-delivered vocals."
