Aeternus

Of the original line up, only founder, guitarist and frontman Ares remains. A veteran of the prolific Bergen Music Scene, Ares has played with some of the best bands that inhabit the Black and Extreme Metal genres, including icons such as IMMORTAL and GORGOROTH.

After releasing the Demo “Walk my path” in 1994, AETERNUS got signed to View Beyond Records who released their classic “Dark Sorcery” in 1995. Ever since, AETERNUS has always delivered critically acclaimed releases, not to mention brutal and solid live shows.

20 years later the highly anticipated seventh album “…And the Seventh his Soul Detesteth” is released, Presenting a new and solid line up with Phobos behind the drums and Specter on guitar. When the album is released, Eld join the band as permanent bass player and the line-up is complete.

Alongside the best of reviews, Aeternus promotes their new album touring Europe with label mates Taake plus a Norwegian headliner tour, plays festivals in Europe and does their first US show ever at the Maryland deathfest.

The band has grown stronger, and better than ever before, and the journey continues.

In their previous incarnation AETERNUS have appeared at a big number of festivals, and toured alongside bands such as DEICIDE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, MAYHEM, BEHEMOTH, EMPEROR,MARDUK 1349,AURA NOIR to mention some.

“The vocals and percussion are both impressive
and the band are happy to go off on a tangent –
most obviously same bluesy, Shining-esque
breaks – which keeps things exciting.”
