Eternity, in Your Arms is the debut full-length studio album by English punk rock band Creeper. Released on 24 March 2017 by Roadrunner Records, it was produced by Neil Kennedy at The Ranch Production House in the band's hometown of Southampton, where the band had previously recorded their first three extended plays (EPs) – 2014's Creeper, 2015's The Callous Heart and 2016's The Stranger – also with Kennedy. The album is primarily categorised as horror punk, although it has also been described by critics as incorporating elements of pop punk, glam rock and post-hardcore into both its lyrical content and musical styles.

Loosely categorised as a concept album by commentators, Eternity, in Your Arms is centred around the story of James Scythe, a fictional missing paranormal investigator. The story is inspired by characters in J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan and is a continuation of a narrative started on The Callous Heart and The Stranger which features references to various Creeper songs and lyrics. Prior to the album's release, "Suzanne", "Hiding with Boys" and "Black Rain", while "Misery" was also released as a single in June 2017. The music videos for "Hiding with Boys", "Black Rain" and "Misery" also serve as a trilogy which ties in with the story of Scythe.

Eternity, in Your Arms debuted at number 18 on the UK Albums Chart, number 20 on the UK Album Downloads Chart and number 1 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart. The album was a critical success, with writers praising the development of Creeper's sound since their first three EPs. Some reviews suggested that the musical style of the release was somewhat derivative or unoriginal, but nonetheless hailed the "catchy" nature and interesting lyrical content of many of the songs. Following its release, the album was promoted on a headline tour of the UK and Europe until mid-April, followed by festival dates in Europe and the US.
