Ewigkeit was formed in 1995 as a musical project of English artist James Fogarty

 aka Mr. Fog (In The Woods..., Old Forest, Orcrypt etc.).
Ewigkeit started out playing black metal but later became much more experimental.
After the release of the first album, "Battle Furies" on a short-lived Neat Records subsidiary called Eldethorn,

Fogarty gave his entire music collection away to an Oxfam charity shop

so that he would be free of influences creating his next work. 

"Starscape" was received well by the extreme music press, but label folded and the project was put on hiatus.
During the missing years, Fogarty concentrated on his other black metal project "The Meads Of Asphodel"

and his collaboration with Jimmy Cauty on the multi-media project Blacksmoke.
In 2003 "Land Of Fog", was eventually released on Metal Age Productions.
Fogarty himself regarded this as the first Ewigkeit album, and it gained him enough attention

to get his project signed to Earache Records, on which "Radio Ixtlan" was released in 2004.
Released in 2005, "Conspiritus", a conceptual album examining conspiracy theories,

has been hailed by many as "marking a maturation of Ewigkeit's eclectic sound.
Also in 2005, a music video was made for the track "Its Not Reality".
In 2006, Ewigkeit made a live video recording entitled "Ewigkeit - Live From A Bunker",

which displayed the project in a live setting acting as a free "online" gig.
The 25 minute set (filmed in a Nuclear Bunker in the vicinity of Brighton, England) was uploaded to Google video.
Also recorded was a free download mp3 EP, "Return To The Land Of Fog".
The project was disbanded in March of 2007 and Fogarty started a new project called The Bombs Of Enduring Freedom.
Ewigkeit was reactivated in 2012 again with a black metal sound, and three more studio albums were released

"Back To Beyond" (2012), "Cosmic Man" (2017) and a re-recorded version of "Battle Furies" entitled "Battle Furies 2.017".
In 2019 "DISClose" album and a re-recorded version of "Starscape" entitled "Starscape 2.019" were also released.
