Ares formed Aeternus in 1993. At that time they wanted to play Death Metal, but as time went on, Ares decided that he wanted something different coming from Aeternus. He created a style out of Death & Thrash Metal, which he the band decided to call Dark Metal. A suitable word 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.
A little contract where made and in 1995 Aeternus released the legendary MCD "Dark Sorcery" under View Beyonds banner. This MCD led to the interest from Hammerheart Records and in 1996, Aeternus signed up with this Dutch label and has been with them ever since.
Aeternus is a band that loves playing live and they have toured in Europe with bands such as Deicide, Emperor, Limbonic Art, Mayhem, Behemoth, Marduk, Angel Corpse, Ancient Rites, Hades Almighty, and Cannibal Corpse. Live is important to this band and it shows when they perform. Hopefully, Aeternus will one day have the chance to play in the US, so people can get to feel the darkened atmospheres of this band over there as well.
Aeternus will release their new fullength "Ascension of Terror" in October 2001. To go with this, a tour will be done under the banner of HHR sometime during the fall, close to winter perhaps.
