And now your Punishment is..... to have to read another one of my blog posts.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. I will once again be talking about a french house artist and one of their songs. This time it will be The Eternals and their song Wrath Of Zeus. I couldn't really find any information about them other than the fact that the song Wrath of Zeus is on Le Knight Club's compilation album Waves. Basically it's a 4 minute and 39 second long joy ride. It's fast catchy and surprisingly..... funny?!



Now about the song.



It starts off with a vocal sample of a man and a woman  talking in a club and complaining that there isn't any good music playing, then the guy asks his (presumably) girlfriend if she wants to go back to his place and she agrees. As they step outside a thunder bolt crashes down and you can hear ZEUS speaking to the group of people, punishing them for desecrating the ways of the ancient gods and sentences them to an eternity of dancing on the club's dance floor. That's what i find is funny about the song. The vocal sample of Zeus is cheesy and classic and just ridiculous. The song is still a serious song but it still gives you a little bit of a laugh, What I also like is once again the drum beats and the nice disco-esque synths. What I also find is really good is how the sample of the two people talking doesn't feel like it's a sample it feels like The Eternals just got two people to record it, but they didn't! So sampling is a big thing this song does well, next to the overall sound and beat. I like this song even though i only hear it recently and want to find more of The Eternals songs (if they have any more). Sorry for the short post but that's all I got for now so I will see you next time.


If you want the song then here it is.

    Niiiiiiice this track is really intense! I agree with you saying that the vocal samples are cheesy the voice sample of zeus sounds like some french guy instead of sounding like the god of all gods!
