Aethernaeum are releasing their second long-player, „Naturmystik“. You will get to hear Black Metal with a very epic, ambient and melodic character enhanced by the application of cello, various keyboards, percussion, piano and choirs. Even though the band´s roots are based in Black Metal, their music cannot be reduced to this genre. The sophisticated compositions, sometimes longer than than 10 minutes, employ influences from genres like Folk, Progressive Rock, Post-Rock or traditional Heavy Metal. The variety of elements made the production, which was again handled by Alexander Paul Blake at his Winter Solitude Studio in Berlin, even more elaborate. Often 100 tracks were used in a single song. „Naturmystik“will be available on CD and as an artbook and the band will tour with Dornenreich in March 2016 ! #### PRESS QUOTES: LEGACY (D): „Albeit born from a black metallic storm, a folky element, a progressive wisp or a post-rock gust breeze through the detailed compositions, driven by the love of nature and music, on AETHERNAEUM´s second offering. May all this become one in the atmospherically dense poetry.“ (Endrew Stepan, Legacy, 14/15 points) #### HAMMERHEART (D): „With every run-through these epic and meticulously arranged songs develop a more intense appeal. Again the connection of raw sounds in the style of traditional Black Metal and atmospheric, melodic, partly even folky, influences works out almost perfectly.” (8/10 points).
