What is the music played by the Norwegian band Aeternus a subgenre of?
Death metal Death metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal music. It typically employs heavily distorted and low-tuned guitars, played with techniques such as palm muting and tremolo picking, deep growling vocals, aggressive, powerful drumming featuring double kick or blast beat techniques, minor keys or atonality, abrupt tempo, key, and time signature changes and chromatic chord progressions. The lyrical themes of death metal may invoke slasher film-stylized violence, religion (sometimes Satanism), occultism, Lovecraftian horror, nature, mysticism, mythology, philosophy, science fiction, and politics, and they may describe extreme acts, including mutilation, dissection, torture, rape, cannibalism, and necrophilia.
Ásmegin Ásmegin is a Norwegian folk/viking metal band formed in 1998. The name comes from Old Norse and means "By the Might of the Æsir" or "By the Might of the Gods". Ásmegin's lyrics are written in Norwegian as well as some in Old Norse and older Norwegian. Some of the tracks on "Hin vordende Sod og Sø" are modeled after the Norwegian play Peer Gynt by Henrik Ibsen.
