Ætheria Conscientia is a progressive black metal band formed in 2016. After Tales from Hydhradh (2018) and Corrupted Pillars of Vanity (2021), the quintet released their third album The Blossoming in 2024 on Frozen Records, confirming a singular identity at the crossroads of Oranssi Pazuzu, Mastodon and Enslaved.

Their music combines the fury of Black Metal, progressive structures, and psychedelic bursts in a science-fiction universe. They narrate the forced exodus of humanity, forced to flee an Earth ravaged by centuries of ecological drift. Each album stands out as a fresco where cosmic narratives and dense soundscapes blend. With The Blossoming , Ætheria Conscientia continues its quest: to give substance to the imaginary worlds that haunt our tomorrows.
