Please note before I write the biography here that I don't think the progarchives has a genre categorization that can accurately describe Aeternam or MaYaN, and incidentally the "power/symphonic and folk metal" or for a shorter name, the "melodic/folk metal" category I suggested in the "improve the website" forum I submitted would be the perfect fit for these bands, and similar bands like them (not so much so for Fleshgod Apocalypse, since they're more extreme than they are melodic, imo - I'm actually beginning to like the name "melodic" better over "power/symphonic," since it is more inclusive allowing for the melodic death metal bands like Ignea, MaYaN, and Aeternam to be included as well, yet also describes the power/symphonic bands). I could also draw a lot of comparisons with Aeternam to Ignea, as well. But they are indeed progressive enough, imo, to warrant their inclusion on this site. I wouldn't really call either Aeternam nor MaYaN "extreme," per se, and they certainly aren't "technical," either, but due to their abrasiveness, they go beyond what is normally included in progressive metal, making tech/extreme the best fit, if not entirely precise, although upon writing their bio I do Aeternam considers themselves to be extreme so I guess idk ![]() There is not a lot of information I could find about Aeternam, so it's a relatively short description. Aeternam is a melodic/symphonic death metal band from Quebec, Canada. Founded in 2007. they combine Arabic, Turkish, and generally middle eastern rhythms and melodies with western symphonic structures, formatted into a melodic death metal package. They have been compared to other bands such as Orphaned Land, for their oriental elements, and Septicflesh, for their symphonic elements. They describe their sound as "unique, authentic, extreme, and ethnic," believing to have created a "perfect blend of harmony and brutality." They received critical acclaim for their 2022 album "Heir of the Rising Sun." ![]() Edited by bardberic - March 20 2023 at 14:21 |
