In their first albums like Dark Sorcery, Beyond the Wandering Moon and ... And So The Night Became they play a "dark" kind of black metal with atmospheric elements and darker passages, partially achieved by tuning their instruments lower than is typical of black metal acts. With Shadows of Old they moved to a more typical Florida-style death metal.
They have toured in Europe with such bands as Enslaved, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Marduk, Mayhem, Red Harvest, Emperor and Limbonic Art. Their album Hexaeon was released in 2006.

Vind
Aeternus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
of dype skoger hersker med makt
Nar do sveiper over landet som tordern din bror og river I mitt bo
foler jeg et kall et kall fra deg min vind do gir meg et begjaer
Vind, ta min sjel min vind fra nord vind, dans med min sjel
gi meg din styrke vind, jeg er her min mester, min overmakt
Jeg tilber deg min vind jeg ofrer til deg hele min slekt
jeg brenner dem til aske og gir dem til deg min evige hersker
Vind, ta min sjel min vind fra nord vind, dans med min sjel
gi meg din styrke vind, jeg er her min mester, min overmakt
Jeg synger min hymne til deg
