Aeternum was formed in 1999, influenced by Euronymous' BM movement, as well as classic metal. The result was a violent, yet melodic approach to metal, the likes of which were unique, especially in their native Los Angeles.

In 2001, Aeternum played their first gig in Huntington Park, and quickly earned a reputation as one of the most original and talented bands around. A strong cult following would soon develop with numerous gigs played in clubs, backyards,and warehouses in neighborhoods throughout South Central L.A., El Monte, Hawaiian Gardens, and Huntington Park.

The band soon recorded a 4 song demo entitled "In the Darkness Reflection", which was well received by most fans of brutal black metal. The culmination of all these events would lead to a treasured spot at the infamous Gathering of the Bestial Legion Fest, where they shared the stage with such legendary acts as Incantation and Deicide.

2005 would mark the end of Aeternum's growing legacy, to the dismay of the original members and their followers. This was due to certain member's unwillingness to perform at the level which had originally made them such a powerful force.

In 2007, original members Griim, D-Muerte, and Kurse recruited bassist Chief, recorded a 4 song demo, and are currently looking to perform live Satanic rituals with other extreme black metal bands.

Griim would like to thank the first musicians who helped form and plant the seed and its germination period of what is Aeternum. Hailz and thanks to Jair (Benighted USA), Ana and Steve Camargo.

Aeternum is also seeking a like-minded guitarist with proper equipment and transportation to join us in our sacrilege.
