Alcatraz Line up: 2024

Eternal Champion have become wildly popular thanks to a unique blend of epic fantasy metal and unadulterated NWOBHM riffs with a punk slant. The American band from Austin, Texas, formed in 2012 and draws inspiration from the eponymous novel by British author Michael Moorcock about a reincarnated hero whose heroic acts are part of the eternal struggle between order and chaos. In 2016 they debuted with ‘The Armor of Ire’, a record that fit in perfectly with the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal’. In 2020 they took their music to the next level with the excellent and melodic album ‘Ravening Iron’ that continues the story line of their debut.
