Aeternus is a black/death metal band from Bergen, Norway.
It was formed in 1993 as an idea of Ronny Hovland, aka Ares, and Erik Heggernes, aka Vrolok.
Later in 1996 Nicola Trier, aka Morrigan, joined the duo as a bass player,

forming the core trio that created the band's first two albums.
They released their debut album, "Beyond The Wandering Moon", in 1997 on Hammerheart Records 

and toured that year with black metal bands Emperor and Limbonic Art through Europe.
Their second album, "...And So The Night Became" was released in 1998, accompanied by a tour supporting Deicide.
In 1999's "Shadows Of Old" album their sound moved from darkened black metal

toward a faster and more aggressive death metal sound.
Morrigan left the group in 2001 for personal reasons and was later replaced by V'gandr of Helheim.
Later that year they released their fourth full-length album called "Ascension Of Terror".
Their next album "A Darker Monument" was released on the new Nocturnal Art Productions label in 2003.
After the release of their sixth full-length "HeXaeon",

long-time member Vrolok left the band and was replaced by S. Winter on drums early in 2006.
In the period between 2008 and 2011, the band entered a lull.
V'gandr left the band to concentrate his work on his own band Helheim.
Ares reformed the band with Phobos on drums and Specter as a new guitarist

and released in 2013 their seventh full-length album, "...And The Seventh His Soul Detesteth".
In 2018 the band released their latest album entitled "Heathen".
