LUX AETERNA is a progressive metal band from Rennes in France. In 2002, Walter Français (Drums) and Benoît Toquet (Guitar) were already playing together and by the end of 2003 they had composed their first songs and were searching for other musicians to complete the band. With the line-up in a state of flux, the band finally coalesced at the end of 2005 when Nicolas Meyer (Piano/Keyboards), Olivier Le pech (Bass)and Maela Revolt (Vocals/Violin) joined.
While drawing heavily from such progressive metal stalwarts as Dream Theater, Symphony X and Adagio, Lux Aeterna nevertheless created a distinct sound and style of their own. Their debut EP, Beyond Horizons, was released in 2006.
