Aeterna Tenebrae merges black metal with pagan elements from the French underground since 2019, their Latin name meaning "eternal darkness" setting the tone for their atmospheric assault. The project draws from pre-Christian traditions filtered through extreme metal intensity.
Aeternal Nox is a melodic death/black metal band from the La Candelaria neighborhood of Bogotá, Colombia, formed in 2022 by a collective of professional musicians with roots in independent metal projects.

They release independently and have published material through their Bandcamp page.
Aeterno Lamento Sideras practices post-black metal from Lazzate in the Monza and Brianza province since 2015. Their lengthy Latin name, translating to something like 'eternal lamentation of the stars,' matches the cosmic melancholy of their atmospheric compositions.
Aeternum Dominium channels symphonic black metal from Bologna since 2020, their Latin name meaning 'eternal dominion' guiding grand, orchestrally layered compositions. From Emilia-Romagna's intellectual capital, they bring academic rigor to symphonic extremity.
Aeternum Vale has practiced melodic black metal from Dublin since 2013, taking their name from the Latin farewell meaning 'goodbye forever.' Their decade-long commitment has produced a body of work that layers melodic sophistication over black metal's raw emotional core.
Aeternus has been a fixture of Bergen's extreme metal scene, transitioning from black metal into death metal territory since their formation, currently active since their 2006-era continuation. Their Latin name meaning 'eternal' has proven prophetic through decades of evolving extremity from one of Norway's most metal-rich cities.
Aether is a melodic metalcore band from Salt Lake City, Utah. Active since 2013, the band has released two full-lengths — "One Chosen by the Gods" and "Tarot" — blending melodic guitar work with the heavy breakdowns and emotional intensity of modern metalcore.
