Vision Eternel Announces Echoes From Forgotten Hearts Box Set & Giveaway
The emotive and textural conjurations of Canadian solo cinematic drone outfit Vision Eternel have been well documented in these pages. Originally released circa 2017, the Echoes From Forgotten Hearts (review here) tape is particularly evocative in its somehow-post-black-metal soundscaping, and no doubt that’s part of why Geertruida is standing behind a box-set reissue of the offering, which includes a full second cassette of demos and rare tracks and, for preorders, a copy of 2019’s For Farewell of Nostalgia (discussed here) as a special bonus. Even better, the Echoes tapes come in one of those plasticky boxes like the storybook tape sets in school when you were a kid. If you’re 42. And me. And that’s an association you have. Which it probably isn’t. You know what? Never mind. Let’s talk about something else.
The video for “Pièce No. Trois,” which I think was a demo, is below and was premiered here in 2017. It’s an odd kind of fun to write about things being reissued that you wrote about when they first arrived. I guess it means I’ve been doing this a while. Fair enough.

Unreleased Vision Eternel Song and Giveaway Package
The Deluxe Edition of Vision Eternel’s Echoes From Forgotten Hearts is finally up for pre-order in physical and digital formats. The boxed set is scheduled for release on February 14, 2024.
The release contains 23 songs. In addition to the 7-song Extended Play Version, the release includes the unheard 6-song Soundtrack Version and 10 rare studio demos, outtakes, and alternate mixes. Carl Saff remastered all of the material at Saff Mastering. A new cover artwork was painted by Michael Koelsch at Koelsch Studios, and the release features additional paintings and photography by Rain Frances at Rain Frances Art. The Deluxe Compact Cassette Edition is split over two colored tapes in a factory-numbered boxed set. It comes with an exclusive postcard and an 80-page novella containing rare pictures and a detailed recounting of the extended play’s making, from its origin as a soundtrack, through its delays, cancellations, and limited releases over the years.
All pre-orders placed directly through Geertruida between now and February 13, 2024, are automatically entered into a giveaway for a free compact cassette of Vision Eternel’s previous extended play, For Farewell Of Nostalgia (also released by Geertruida). The winner’s free tape will ship bundled with Echoes From Forgotten Hearts in February 2024. The Deluxe Compact Cassette Edition can be pre-ordered from Geertruida’s webstore. Deluxe Digital Edition pre-saves are found here. Anyone purchasing a physical edition will automatically receive a free digital edition.
