Aeternus was formed Ares in 1993. The band is located in
Bergen/ Norway. Aeternus stands as the creators of an extreme music-style
that is defined best as Dark Metal. Fast, aggressive, intense and
brutal, yet calm and beautiful at times. The lyrics within the realm
of Aeternus are to be dark as the music. Thoughts and emotions are
usually the main key element behind their darkened lyrics. Bringing
up atmospheres of warriors and battles and the mystic and mighty
powers of nature.
In 1994, Aeternus released their one and only demo: "Walk
my Path", which sold around 400 copies in the underground scene.
In 1995 Aeternus signed a small contract with the
Czech label View Beyond Records, who later the same year released
the legendary "Dark Sorcery" MCD.
This MCD led to the interest from various labels.
In 1996, Aeternus decided to sign with the Dutch
label Hammerheart Records. During the years with Hammerheart Records,
Aeternus released several strong album titles and became a strong
name in the Metal scene worldwide. Aeternus has always been an active
live band and have become a well-established live act. They have
toured with bands such as Deicide, Mayhem, Red Harvest, Cannibal
Corpse, Emperor, Aura Noir, Marduk, Behemoth, Limbonic Art, etc.
After the 2001 album "Ascension of Terror",
Aeternus departed with Hammerheart Records. Shortly after Aeternus'
crushing performance on the Inferno Festival 2002, the band inked
a 3-album deal with Nocturnal Art Productions. The band is currently
in pre-production for their next full-length album, and plan to
enter Grieghallen Studios in the autumn with the legendary Pytten
as producer. The new album is expected in the beginning of 2003
and should be the bands strongest release to date!!!
