Stream: Aether Realm - One Chosen By the Gods Aether Realm may sound straight out of the frozen tundras of Scandinavia, but they're busy making a name for themselves across North Carolina. One Chosen By The Gods is the band's first full-length release and certainly gives the now dying genre of folk metal a much-needed kick in the nads. Featuring solid riffing, a healthy dose of epic synth work, and masterfully handled production from producer Jamie King--who's worked with Between the Buried and Me, Scale the Summit--these guys should be on your radar as one of the more interesting bands to come out in the new year.
