Bergen, Norway (1993 – present)

Formed in 1993 in Bergen, Norway, these ‘Dark’ Death Metallers released their first demo in 1994 entitled “Walk My Path”.

In their first albums like “Dark Sorcery (EP)”, “Beyond the Wandering Moon” and “…And So Night Became” they play a “Dark” kind of Black Metal with atmospheric elements and darker passages, partially achieved by tuning their instruments lower than is typical of black metal acts. With “Shadows Of Old” they moved to a more typical Florida-style Death Metal.

They have toured in Europe with such bands as Enslaved, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Marduk, Mayhem, Red Harvest, Emperor and Limbonic Art. Their latest album Hexaeon was released in 2006.

Aeternus has started to compose material for their 7th album. We don't have a title just yet and so far we got more or less 1 new song. So, busy months ahead and lots to do. Stay tuned for more info! http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=14376309&blogId=491378051

Awesome band, love the monk like chanting. Consistent and fluid song structures without ripping my face off.

Can someone explain to me whenever I put on Shadows of Old I get redirected to AeternuM, some vague ambient band?

Their Death metal era is indeed pretty good, but HeXaeon sucked big time. I've really tried to get into it but to no avail, I'd rather stick to AOT and ADM.

These guys need to make Beyond the Wandering Moon available again. It's sublime.

Great masterpieces of dark art! Preapocalyptic heralds of rising netherworlds.
