About the ArtistAres formed Aeternus in 1993, at which time their musical style was very much within the confines Death Metal. As time went on, Ares decided that he wanted something different coming from Aeternus, thus creating a style out of Death & Thrash Metal, which the band decided to call Dark Metal, a more suitable expression to describe Aeternus' dark & raw music. In 1994, they released their one and only demo: Walk my Path which sold around 400 copies. This led to the interest from a small Czech label called View Beyond Records which originally released the legendary MCD Dark Sorcery in 1995. Riding the recent wave of success from the MCD's release, Aeternus caught the attention of Holland's Hammerheart Records. In 1996 the contracts were signed and Aeternus has released their music exclusively with Hammerheart ever since...Aeternus is a band that loves playing live. They have toured across Europe with bands such as Deicide, Emperor, Limbonic Art, Mayhem, Behemoth, Marduk, Angel Corpse, Ancient Rites, Hades Almighty, and Cannibal Corpse. Hopefully, Aeternus will one day have the chance to play in The Americas, allowing people on this side of the pond the opportunity to feel the darkened atmospheres of this mighty act. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.Product DescriptionA MESSAGE FROM ARES:Aeternus, the essence of immense, dark emotions.It is said that within a warrior's heart one can find the strong emotions that rules within the realm of Aeternus' music.
