Band information

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.

By late 2003 with Kristen 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 Rat (bass) and Spud 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.

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.
