About the ArtistAeternus is the musical implementation of Dark Metal. Dark Metal defined in the vein of Aeternus is music looked upon as Dark in an atmospheric and emotional way. Brutal, fast and extreme music mixed with mid-paced, slow and beautiful, melodic music.Looked upon as one of the heaviest and most brutal bands coming from Scandinavia, they are known for their live performances where visual aggression is shown in a high degree, a strong and important element that Aeternus has mastered. Their brutal sound and war-like drumming makes their live shows a thundering experience. We must not forget the darkened voice of Ares, from the deepest depths his growling vocals pushes the sound picture even further into darkness and war-like atmospheres. Onward they will push and destroy limits with lust and aggression and with elder pride they will always stand as creators of true Dark Metal.Aeternus exists for the glory of Dark Metal and for the lust of playing and performing extreme music. This, they share with people who know Metal as a life-style, dedicated souls of aggression, pride & strength. Ares formed this band, as he desired to take part in the world of extreme music with his own ideas and thoughts.Their sound is not inspired by any bands! Totally unique, it shreds like razors and pounds like a Demon’s heart. Easily they have been labelled as Death Metal several times, but Dark Metal is what this band deals with, regardless the usage of Death – Thrash elements in some different songs.Product DescriptionBurning The Shroud is a collection of Aeternus songs compiled from various sources.
