Æther Realm are an American metal band from Greenville, North Carolina. They blend styles of melodic death metal, Finnish metal, and folk metal, with lyrical themes of fantasy and mythology.

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, they 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 LP, Redneck Vikings From Hell in 2020.[5][6]
