AETHER REALM
"ONE CHOSEN BY THE GODS"
PRIMITIVE WAYS RECORDS
AETHER REALM is an Epic Folk Metal band with huge Nordic influences. They sound
as if they would come from the lands of Norway or Finland, but hail from right here in the
United States, Greenville, North Carolina to be exact. These guys had most of this album
written back in mid 2012, but scrapped them and re-wrote them for this new album. The
music is highly orchestrated and very well written. There is definitely a big Epic sound in
their music and arrangements. At times you can hear some Black Metal influences coming
through, this is mostly done in the orchestrated and atmospheric parts. The vocals are done
in a mid ranged harsh throaty Black Metal growl style with some more melodic and mid
ranged Folk Metal vocals. I have become a huge fan of Folk Metal over the years and heard
a lot of bands. AETHER REALM could definitely be from Norway, Sweden or Finland
and stand tall with bands from those country's. If you are into bands like ELUVIETIE,
ENSIFERUM, KORPIKLAANI, TYR, BLACKGUARD & AMON AMARTH then
your going to love these guys. I have been to the PAGAN FEST TOUR each year now and
would love to see these guys represent the United States next year on the tour. One amazing
band that has really proven themselves and deserve a lot of attention!
