At the beginning, AevLord was an Ambient Black Metal one man band born in the region of Paris in France on December of 2003 by the self-named man who only wanted to create a music based on various keyboard sounds (organ, piano, choirs, strings…) with all the components of Black Metal music and especially by using a lot of voice types (black, death, clean and female vocals) to give rise to dark, cold, epic, tragic or horrific atmospheres.

During the whole year of 2005, AevLord continued to compose and made his music evolve to something more powerful and orchestral. Then, he started to look for musicians to give the musical project all its scope. So, Asmodée (guitars) joined the band about June of 2005, followed by Metzly (female vocals) and Doomhammer who quickly yielded his place to Oeyj for drums. Therefore, the band began to do some studio sessions for the recording of the forthcoming album and gave its first gig the 21st of June 2006 for the World Music Day. But the band had to part ways with Metzly after this gig and she was replaced by Garvaniath a few times later. After a long time of complicated studio sessions, the album “History of a New Mankind” was finally released on Très-Gore Records during the summer 2007. This one limited to 500 copies received quite good returns. In the mean time, Oeyj had to leave the project for his studies followed by Garvaniath at the end of this year.
At the beginning of 2008, Herades entered the band as the second guitar player to add harmonisation for the future songs and the old ones as well. A few months later, a new drummer named Nepenthess joined AevLord on May. The band also tried to find a new female singer without success; so the idea of keeping that type of singing has been definitely removed from our minds and the new songs didn’t need it anyway. Then, AevLord kept writing for a new album called “The Nomad’s Path” and this one is now entirely composed with ten mature and accomplished songs.
At this time, the band is working on this new material in order to do recording sessions that should start sometime in 2010.
