Another month flies by, which means it's time to nominate a new feature release for The North, and this time I have elected to go with 1998's "...and So the Night Became" from Aeternus - in my book, one of the most underrated bands among the Norwegian classics. Quite notable for offering a blend of black and death metal influences that's very different from the usual "blackened death metal" style, "...and So the Night Became" should satisfy those who enjoy long compositions of expansive & epic black metal.

That's weird, I ordered the new vinyl version of their classic Dark Sorcery EP only yesterday. I've not listened to this, so looking forward to it.

Yeah, Aeturnus' first few releases were very solid, weren't they? If memory serves me correctly, I think this one may be my favourite of theirs though.

Never listened to an Aeternus record at all.  Second run through today just beginning.
