Norwegian Dark Metal pioneers & Agonia Records’s recent signees, AETERNUS, will play as direct support to Black Metal stalwarts GORGOROTH on a late 2023 European & UK tour. Opening the bill will be Swiss Impalement and Greek-Dutch Aran Angmar.
AETERNUS is not far from revealing details of its ninth studio album and first since 2018’s Heathen. The album is expected to be released later this year on Agonia Records.
AETERNUS was formed by Ares in 1993 in Bergen, Norway, and pioneered the genre known as Dark Metal; combining Black Metal and Death Metal with elements of classical and folk music. The band creates its trademark sound by layering superlative guitar playing and haunting, melodic interludes. Its current line-up comprises guitarist/vocalist Ares, guitarist Gorm, bassist Eld and drummer Phobos.
Line-up:
Ares – guitar & vocal
Gorm – guitar
Eld – bass
Phobos – drums
