History

In 2010 Vincent Jones, Heinrich Arnold, and George Yiznitsky began Æther Realm as a side project to their prog-thrash band Sakrament. They opened for Finntroll and Ensiferum a year later.[1]

Their second album, Tarot, featured guest vocals provided by Christopher Bowes of Scottish metal band Alestorm, orchestral arrangement by Dan Müller, and a 19-minute finale "The Sun, The Moon, The Star". Tarot was listed as album of the year by reviewers on the music blog Angry Metal Guy.[2] [3]

In 2017, Æther Realm toured Europe with Alestorm and Troldhaugen, and headlined Pocono Folk Metal Festival.

The band was signed to Napalm Records in 2018.[4] They released their 3rd studio album, Redneck Vikings From Hell, in 2020.[5] [6]
