Nox Aeterna is a five-headed Dutch melodic metalband from Spijkenisse (Rotterdam) and around. Formed originally in April 2002, starting out as a symphonic rockband, Nox Aeterna has nowadays grown to be a matured and experienced band with a self written reperoire. The band is formed by grunt vocalist and guitar player Arnold Boukes (1982), metal lady Debbie Maasdam (1981) on guitar, keyboard player and pianist Ronald Nels (1983), bass player Roald Schel (1980) and drummer Mischa Jansen (1977). The bandmembers give some occasional groupshouts to empower the vocals.
The music of Nox Aeterna (which means Eternal Night in Latin), cannot be easily labelled, but is best defined as melodic metal. The band is influenced especially by Scandinavian metalbands such as Children of Bodom, Ensiferum and Nightwish. But also by the old Metallica, Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osbourne songs.
Through the years, Nox Aeterna has gained experience with performances on several stages and festivals in the Netherlands. They have played in Baroeg Rotterdam, Total Music Schiedam, TexMex Spijkenisse, but also at music festivals such as Zomerterras, Brandersfeesten and Elektra Metal Massacre. Nox Aeterna has had her first tv-debut with a guest performance on the local tv channel RTV-Rijnmond in 2005.
After the release of their first demo-cd "Nox Aeterna - Unleased" in 2004, Nox Aeterna decided to jump into the studio again to record some new songs. The latest album "Nox Aeterna - Immortality" was recorded in the summer of 2007 in Studio ’t Pand in Vlaardingen. The disk contains five heavy metal songs and has a suprising ending with a quit classical ballad. We hope to see you soon at one of our shows!
