On guitar, bass and vocals, Alice Ronzini brings a background forged in France's garage-punk underground (La Secte du Futur, JC Satan), later expanded into more ethereal territories through her spectral folk solo project Ailise Blake. Alongside her, Johan Sebenne shapes Aetere's immersive sound through synths, bass, and machines, layering droney riffs and textured atmospheres informed by his work with the acclaimed post-metal ensemble Year of No Light, his ambient electro-acoustic solo project Lacustre, and earlier collaborations with Nexus Sun, Acid Bonanga, and Géographie.
Musically, Aetere draws inspiration from luminaries like Warning, Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Earth, merging funeral tempos, shoegaze haze and monolithic riffs.
Mastered by the legendary Dirk Serries (known for his work in Vidna Obmana, Fear Falls Burning, and Yodok III), the album achieves a polished yet primal resonance.
