A new box set titled Eternal was released on September 24, featuring 192 tracks from Joy Division concerts recorded between March 1979 and May 1980. Available in both physical and digital formats, the set includes 14 CDs and 2 concert DVDs. The project is overseen by Bernard Sumner, the guitarist of Joy Division, who gathered many fan-made pirate recordings from concerts over the years. The release comes at a significant time, coinciding with Joy Division's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, scheduled for November 14. According to the American music website Pitchfork, the span of fourteen months might seem unusually long for a band with such a short history. However, the American magazine Variety suggests that the compilation is clearly intended for devoted fans, while also highlighting the real-time development of Joy Division's musical genius and offering one of the most beautiful and challenging soundtracks of that era. Joy Division, a cult group originating from the Manchester region, was composed of Ian Curtis, who handled vocals and songwriting, Peter Hook on bass, and Stephen Morris on drums. The band is widely regarded as a key influence in post-punk music and is remembered for its intense and emotionally charged performances. Ian Curtis, the group's frontman, passed away in 1980, shortly after the release of the band's only studio album, Unknown Pleasures.
