The seventh studio album by Finnish symphonic death metal band Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Saivon Lapsi, was released in February 2013, reaching number 13 on the official Finnish charts. The album was released in Finland by Suomen Musiikki, while the international release was handled by the German Massacre Records. The album received worldwide praise, especially for the renewal of the band's sound, where fierce metal riffs fit seamlessly with a diverse musical cavalcade of moods. At times, the band even leans towards mainstream rock without feeling forced or taking away from the band's signature sound.

Svart Records will release Eternal Tears of Sorrow's Saivon Lapsi on vinyl for the first time in October 2026. The album will be released in three vinyl versions, of which the white-brown & blue-marble LP is available as a limited edition of 100 copies only from the Svart Records online store. The awesome transparent orange vinyl, decorated with black smoke, and the classic black vinyl are now available for pre-order from reputable online retailers around the world.
