Watch Dragon’s Gaze here:
Formed in 2020 and having introduced themselves with the EP The Quest in 2022, ÆTERNIA quickly established their sound rooted in classic German power metal traditions. Drawing inspiration from pre-symphonic Blind Guardian, Helloween, and other masters of the genre, Into The Golden Halls is both a nod to the golden age of power metal and a bold declaration of the band’s own identity.
Adorned with stunning artwork by Adam Burke, the album is self-produced and self-recorded, ensuring every note reflects the band’s relentless dedication. Listeners can expect a massive sound — blinding guitar riffs, soaring leads, rhythm, and commanding vocals that channel both history and fantasy into epic storytelling.
For collectors, the vinyl edition will include color variants, a four-page booklet, and a poster, making Into The Golden Halls a release that shines as much visually as it does sonically.
