Biography

Aeternus formed in 1993 as a trio, comprised of Ares, Erik Vrolok, and Morrigan. They released their debut album, "Beyond the Wandering Moon", in 1997 on Hammerheart Records (now Karmageddon Media), and toured that year with black metal bands Emperor and Limbonic Art.

In 1999, they added guitarist Radek, and their sound moved from black metal toward death metal for 1999's "Shadows of Old". Morrigan left the group in 2001, and their first album as a three-piece again was "Ascension of Terror".

Vrolok was replaced by S. Winter on drums early in 2006, but as of September 2007, Winter is no longer in the group, [ [http://roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=80952 Aeternus Parts Ways with Drummer] .
