Cruz Del Sur Music is proud to announce the forthcoming new album from German power metal masters Æternia which is entitled Into The Golden Halls. 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 that you would anticipate 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, so you can feel their hard work ethic in every fibre of this music. A truly monumental debut album that all power metal fans must hear!

The band recorded and produced the record themselves, so every fiber of their album is testimony to their incredibly hard work. 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 that you can truly lose yourself in while the musical majesty will keep you bewitched and engaged time and time again. As each spellbinding track flows from the last, you can gaze at the artwork (especially if you buy the vinyl which will include gorgeous colour variants and an A2 poster plus a four page booklet). This is one of those pieces of musical history that every single element will draw you in for something more than just a quick background listen.

So if battle-hardened rhythmic battery, supremely composed melodic artistry and a voice that can enchant any ear all straddling impeccably varied and intricate drum work is the kind of thing you appreciate in your music; this album will give you everything you could hope for. Getting that blend of more grooving parts with sheer power metal madness is such a treat that I think all metalheads will be absolutely enthralled by. So become a part of this epic tale, turn it up and enter the golden halls with Æternia – one of the most promising names in power metal today…
