Belgium's Ethereal Darkness, Greece's Aetherian, and Italy's Stygian will kick off a European tour on 27 March, beginning at Metal Cave Club in Warsaw, Poland.
Ethereal Darkness (Brussels) sit closer to the death/doom end of the spectrum, crafting atmospheric, emotionally driven songs that lean into weight, mood, and slow‑burn tension. Formed in 2018, they've carved out a space for listeners who prefer their melody wrapped in shadow.
Aetherian (Athens) have been active since 2013, blending melodic death metal force with a darker, more melancholic edge. With releases on Lifeforce Records, including The Untamed Wilderness and At Storm's Edge, strong streaming numbers on tracks like "The Rain", and touring experience beyond Greece, they arrive as a band built for the stage.
Stygian complete the bill with doom‑tinged atmospheric metal, balancing heaviness with haunting leads and a cinematic sense of pacing. Link
