    Vision Eternel is a Canadian-American ambient rock band.[8][9][10] Formed by guitarist Alexander Julien in Edison, New Jersey, United States in January 2007,[11] the band eventually relocated to Montreal, Quebec, Canada in July 2007.[12][1] The musical group's sound has been described variously by critics as a blend of ambient,[5][1] shoegaze,[6][13] post-rock,[2][14] ethereal,[4][3] drone,[15][16] space rock,[10][17] emo,[3][18] post-black metal,[9][15] post-metal,[4][18] dark ambient,[4][17] dark wave,[19][4] experimental rock,[13][17] minimal,[16][15] dream pop,[20][17] progressive rock,[21][20] modern classical,[13] and new-age.[22]

    While still based in New Jersey, the musical group also included second guitarist Philip Altobelli, though he departed before the recording of the band's second release.[3][18] Once established in Quebec, the band was expanded with two more guitarists, Nidal Mourad and Adam Kennedy, but they departed before the recording of the band's third output.[4][15]

    The band released its debut extended play, Seul Dans L'obsession, in 2007,[7] followed by another extended play, Un Automne En Solitude, in 2008, both via American record label Mortification Records.[23][11] In 2009, a compilation album of the first two extended plays, titled An Anthology of Past Misfortunes, was released by Japanese record label Frozen Veins Records.[19] In 2010, Vision Eternel contributed the exclusive single "Start From the Beginning: The Accident" to Dedicated Records' Various Artists compilation, Great Messengers: Palms.[14][24][25]

    After signing with Canadian record label Abridged Pause Recordings,[26][27] Vision Eternel followed up with three more extended plays: Abondance De Périls in 2010,[28] The Last Great Torch Song in 2012,[20] and Echoes from Forgotten Hearts in 2015.[29] In 2018, Abridged Pause Recordings released the boxed set An Anthology of Past Misfortunes, which contains remastered versions of the band's entire 2007–2015 output, along with a bonus compilation of previously unreleased demos and b-sides.[30][31][32] British record label Fruits de Mer Records released three singles by the band: "Killer of Giants" in 2019, "Moments of Absence" in 2020, and『Pièce No. Sept』in 2022.[22][33] The band's sixth extended play, For Farewell of Nostalgia, was co-released by American record label Somewherecold Records,[34] Dutch record label Geertruida,[35] and Abridged Pause Recordings in 2020.[36][13] A deluxe edition of Echoes from Forgotten Hearts was released by Geertruida in 2024, which contains the previously unreleased soundtrack version of the recording.[37][38]
