Band information
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 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. In November 2008, Goulding returned and Jarrod Wells joined on drums but by May the following year the singer had been fired. The group was forced off the road when Foster broke his leg, finally returning in September with new vocalist Dan Barrett. Wells was replaced by former drummer Austen in 2010.
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.
