History
Vincent Jones and Heinrich Arnold began Æther Realm as a side project in 2010, opening 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]
