Eternal Descent
by METALSITES.net @ November 7th, 2008Biography
An Urban Gothic Fantasy. Elements of Heavy Rock, Industrial, Ambient, and Experimental, fused with Romantic filmscore arrangements bring this story and its characters to life.
The concept is to create comic book visuals for each track, creating an animated feature across the album, bringing the sound effects to life and depicting the story narrated by the lyrics. We'll have the first animated feature finished in the coming weeks, for the song, 'Into Darkness'.
Llexi Leon, the mastermind behind the multimedia concept ETERNAL DESCENT began making noise in London, England in 2005. His highly intricate guitar style exhibits the many influences corralled to create his intense sound - from classical, flamenco, electronica, and ambient genres to the more prominent genres of rock and metal. All of these genres infused to one, Llexi has created a cinematic fantasia with a gothic flair, which will soon branch out to a comic book series.
Leon began playing classical guitar at 8 years old and progressed to electric guitar at 13, the now-22-year-old continued to broaden his horizons. Leon has since studied piano, violin, and percussion, adding diversity to his instrumental performances, whilst continuing to embrace new guitar techniques.
He began incorporating original music with art and writing ideas, soon realizing he had to bring the concept to life.
His main aspirations are bringing stories to life through escapism, utilizing everyday events and his vivid imagination to create more avenues for his multimedia enterprise. To prove its tangibility, Llexi has assembled a team of artists to create the Eternal Descent comic book series with the first issue slated for publication in early 2009. He also began his own production company, Incendium Records to release his first concept album "Losing Faith" and the EP "The Phantom of the Opera". This fulfilled his desire to have all Eternal Descent media developed to the highest standards, under one roof.
Having grown significantly over just a few short years, Incendium is now working with major names in the music and comic book industries. In 2009, Eternal Descent plans to expand globally in both areas.
Incendium is already working closely with ESP Guitars on several exciting projects. Expect to see some custom signature guitars in the comic books and some headlining recording artists performing on them throughout the storylines. The possibility of these concepts could crossover to real life. Stay tuned!
Llexi was recently approached by Faith Guitars as an endorsee for their products, and the two are working on a series of promotional collaborations, video demonstrations, and custom acoustic instruments for future Eternal Descent recordings.
Orange Amplifiers have also been an extremely supportive collaborator. They created some great custom gear for the upcoming studio album, including a stealth black amplifier that doesn't look like your typical Orange amp, but still has the trademark tones associated with the brand. I’ve recently appeared on the Orange Amps Clinicians, Rock Guitar tuition video, slated for release next year some time, and that was a lot of fun. Orange-inspired designs will also be featured in the comic book on backline and an occasional wall of cabinets!
With these powerful collaborators and Llexi's creativity combined, the Eternal Descent comic books and album releases are sure to explode worldwide, making Incendium a premier multimedia conglomerate.
