Nox Eterna have been refining their brand of classic heavy metal since the mid-1990s, with a sound that balances crunching riffs against melodic, hard-rock-tinged choruses built for the stage. Their catalog spans multiple decades and includes the albums Mind Abduction (2009) and The Ocean Is Mine (2014), and in 2007 the band was selected among the top fifty acts from a national pool of 300 to represent Brazil at Wacken Open Air.
Athenian occult black metal outfit whose ritualistic approach channels Luciferian fanaticism through dark and minimalist compositions on releases like 'The Hidden Paths to Black Ecstasy' and 'Drakon Darshan Satan' via Dark Descent Records. Operating as the outer expression of an esoteric sect, their conceptual framework sets them apart from the broader Greek black metal scene.
