Marvel Studios Eternals hit the big screen this week in theaters around the world and it featured a Prog Rock all-time classic in the opening minutes. Pink Floyd’s single “Time” from 1973 album The Dark Side of The Moon (Harvest/EMI) can be heard in the film, and works perfectly with the cosmic themes of the film.

That the result is not the anticipated Time sequel, but a new unique piece may have been a blow to some fans, but Wintersun have never been ones to follow convention by any stretch; which is why it is surprising that The Forest Seasons (Nuclear Blast) sounds comparatively basic and safe.Continue reading
