“The Shadow Eye” is Eventstellar’s ninth single, released worldwide through Stormwind Music International on April 22, 2017. Recorded in February 2017 at The Warehouse in Dublin, the single was mixed at Skógafoss Studios in Reykjavik and mastered at Mic Nix Studios in Adelaide. Production was handled by Sōun Kanda and Matt Dublin, with mixing by Thor Linnane and mastering by Michael Nikou.

This release explores the themes of cycles, shadows, and existential introspection through three compelling songs that blend celestial imagery with profound reflections on life and beyond.

“The Saros” takes inspiration from the Saros cycle, an ancient astronomical phenomenon marking the repetitive alignment of the sun, moon, and earth. Through poetic lyrics and ethereal melodies, The Saros captures the rhythm of cosmic patterns and their connection to humanity’s place in the universe. The song invites listeners to reflect on the passage of time and the hidden secrets of existence revealed through celestial dances.

“Umbra” a meditative exploration of the interplay between light and shadow, Umbra delves into the fleeting moments of cosmic harmony during an eclipse. The lyrics evoke the stillness and grace of these transient events, portraying them as a metaphor for the delicate balance between darkness and light in the universe. With its haunting imagery and gentle rhythm, the track creates an immersive experience of serenity and wonder.

“The shadow eye” offers a poignant metaphor for mortality, portrayed as the shadow eye. A presence that follows, watches, and ultimately guides us to the unknown. Through its evocative storytelling, the song depicts the fear, acceptance, and eventual hope that accompany the human confrontation with death. The song balances eerie imagery with moments of resolve, ending on a hopeful note of renewal and transcendence.

The shadow eye stands as one of Eventstellar’s most introspective singles, blending cosmic themes with deeply personal reflections on life’s impermanence. It invites listeners to journey through the darkness, finding light and meaning in the eternal cycles of existence.
