Aeturnus Dominion is an band from the NSW Central Coast playing a mixture of classic thrash and old school death metal. Most of the line-up had played together in various bands from the local area including '''Paen''', '''Tritura''', '''Jumpathug''' and [[Eternal Hate]]. Eventually '''Kronic''' was formed with Ted Foster, Steve Austen and Dave Wratten and shortly afterward Jesse Aiken joined the line-up, but Foster was injured in an accident and the band folded.  
Aeturnus Dominion is a thrash and death band from the NSW Central Coast that has existed since 2003 through many line-ups, all featuring founding member Ted Foster. A previous version of the band was known as '''Kronic''' and featured Foster, Steve Austen, Dave Wratten and Jesse Aitkin but Foster was injured in an accident and the band folded.


By late 2003 with Kristen from [[Torment (Central Coast)|Torment]] on second guitar, the group reformed, taking on the name Aeturnus Dominion and releasing the ''Semper Tyrannis'' CD, most of which had already been recorded by Aiken and Foster. The band began playing live regularly on the Sydney circuit but both Wratten (bass) and Kristen quit the band suddenly. They were replaced by Campbell (guitar) and Lex (bass) from '''Eternal Hate''', but Lex stayed only briefly and Kristen rejoined, this time on bass. Wratten later turned up in Perth band [[Gallows for Grace]].
By late 2003 with Tait Kristen on second guitar, the group reformed as Aeturnus Dominion and releasing the ''Semper Tyrannis'' CD, most of which had already been recorded by Aiken and Foster. Wratten and Kristen suddenly quit to be replaced by Grant Campbell and Shane Hall but Hall stayed only briefly and Kristen rejoined, this time on bass.  


They released a second album in late 2006 and toured nationally with Dubai band '''Nervecell''' in early 2007. As work began on a third album, Aiken left the band for medical reasons to be replaced by Mary Lawton from Wagga Wagga band [[Diamorah]]. Grant "Thrax" Campbell left Aeturnus Dominion in December 2007 and was shortly replaced by Morbid Matt, whose previous band [[MurderWorld]] had just folded. A month later Lawton left for personal reasons and was replaced by former [[Manticore]] and [[Misery]] vocalist Darren Goulding. The group's line-up hassles have since continued with Phythian leaving in early 2008. His replacement Caelli left after a month of rehearsals and Ibbotson departed at the same time. Since then the line-up issues have continued with Goulding departing and Arnesen in and out within a month. In November 2008, Goulding returned and Wells joined on drums but by May the following year the singer had left once again. The group was then forced off the road when Foster broke his leg, finally returning in September with new vocalist Dan Barrett.

In 2010, the AD line-up now appears to be Foster, Kristen, Austen, Aitken and new guitarist PJ.
Foster has continued to keep the band going through a constant state of flux, with some members leaving and rejoining over the years only to leave again.

A previous version of the band was known as Kronic and featured Foster, Steve Austen, Dave Wratten and Jesse Aitkin but Foster was injured in an accident and the band folded.

By late 2003 with Tait Kristen on second guitar, the group reformed as Aeturnus Dominion and releasing the Semper Tyrannis CD, most of which had already been recorded by Aiken and Foster. Wratten and Kristen suddenly quit to be replaced by Grant Campbell and Shane Hall but Hall stayed only briefly and Kristen rejoined, this time on bass.

They released a second album in late 2006 and toured nationally with Dubai band Nervecell in early 2007. Aiken left the band for medical reasons to be replaced by Mary Lawton from Diamorah. Campbell left Aeturnus Dominion in December 2007 and was shortly replaced by Morbid Matt. A month later Lawton left for personal reasons and was replaced by former Manticore and Misery vocalist Darren Goulding. The group's line-up hassles have since continued with Phythian leaving in early 2008; Paul Ibbotson was removed from the band shortly after. The line-up issues continued with Goulding departing.
