  • AETERNAM | The Band Bringing Feminine Rage to Metal

    AETERNAM | The Band Bringing Feminine Rage to Metal
    Nov 20 2025
    Join me on the road as I sit down with Jose and Kayla from Aeternum, one of the most emotionally charged up-and-coming bands in the scene. We caught up in Harrisburg while they were out with The Killers Confession and Dogma, talking about what fans can expect from their live show, how they bring feminine rage and raw emotion to the stage, and why their music hits so many different feelings at once.

    We get into everything from their first big tour, how AKC took them under their wing, what it means to connect with strangers every night, their approach to grief and vulnerability in their set, and what 2025–2026 looks like for the band. We even talk dream collaborations, lessons learned on the road, and how they’re building real relationships with fans. If you haven’t seen Aeternum live yet… fix that.

    These performances hit. 🎧 Check out Aeternum and catch them on tour with The Killers Confession and Dogma.
