Eternia & MoSS – Road To At Last (Interview)

If you ask Eternia, At Last literally represents a sigh of relief. After spending over a year in the studio under MoSS’ creative guidance, followed by a year of label politicking and promotion, the Canadian duo is finally ready to breathe easy now that the release date for their pet project is less than two weeks away.

It’s safe to say that they are more than satisfied with the resulting product.
