Norwegian Black/Death Metallers AETERNUS, debut the first song & music video from their forthcoming ninth studio album “Philosopher”, which is set to be released on November 17th via Agonia Records.
“Philosopher” was recorded, produced & mixed by the band & Herbrand Larsen at Conclave & Earshot Studios (IMMORTAL, EENSLAVED) and mastered by Lawrence Mackrory at Rorysound Studio (BLOODBATH, VOMITORY).
