Eternal Legacy is an American heavy metal band that formed in 2002 in Parma, Ohio. Founded by vocalist/guitarist brothers Jason and Shaun Vanek with Steve Dukuslow on drums, the band soon recruited classically trained fourteen-year-old Spencer Phillips to play keyboards and Shaun's student Josh Gatka on bass. In 2008, Gatka was fired from the band, after which Phillips filled the bass spot in addition to keyboards. In 2009, Phillips left the band to pursue higher education and has since been replaced by Shaun Vanek's Wretch bandmate, Tim Frederick.
Eternal Legacy's style started off as progressive power metal, but has since progressed into a hybrid sound with elements of thrash metal, resembling bands such as Tad Morose, Iced Earth, Metal Church, Human Fortress, and Brainstorm. In 2007, Eternal Legacy released The Coming of the Tempest, their debut album. At the end of 2009, the band released their sophomore effort titled Lifeless Alive. On January 26, the band announced the title of their third album as Seeking No Peace, to be tentatively released near the end of 2010. In March 2010, Eternal Legacy announced that they had now finished the drum tracks for nine new songs for their new album due for release in the summer.
Eternal Legacy is scheduled to play the 2010 Wacken Open Air festival.

“Jesus of Nazareth could have chosen simply to express Himself in moral precepts; but like a great poet He chose the form of the parable, wonderful short stories that entertained and clothed the moral precept in an eternal form. It is not sufficient to catch man’s mind, you must also catch the imaginative faculties of his mind.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
