GERMANY’S ÆTERNIA TAKES INSPIRATION FROM EARLY BLIND GUARDIAN, HELLOWEEN ON DEBUT INTO THE GOLDEN HALLS, FIRST SINGLE STREAMING

Cruz Del Sur Music announces the new album from German power metal masters Æternia, Into The Golden Halls. The album will be available on CD, vinyl, and digital formats on October 17.

Having formed in 2020 with a sole EP making their mark in 2022, entitled The Quest, this wondrous band was born. Combining that epic and monumental sense of grandiosity and melody anticipated from a band like pre-symphonic Blind Guardian or Helloween and adorned by stunning cover artwork by Adam Burke, this promises to be a real gem of the current scene that evokes majesty in every aspect both sonically and visually. Boldly, the band decided to record and produce the album themselves.

A massive sound can be felt that couples blinding guitar riffs and soaring leads atop unbreakable rhythmic battery from the drums and bass altogether held in place by commanding and soulful vocals. Spinning lore from both history and a more fantastical realm, this is an epic conquest listeners can lose themselves in while the musical majesty bewitches and engages time and time again. As each spellbinding track flows from the last, gaze at the artwork (especially with the vinyl which will include gorgeous colour variants and an A2 poster plus a four-page booklet).

First single “Dragon’s Gaze” is now available.
