Two years later they decided to begin a new project, quite different from the previous one.
At this time they finally defined the concept of their music and began creating songs with symphonic scores and opera vocals. This brought melody and some kind of tragic element to the music. The first song created and recorded was “The Bones”, but it wasn’t included in demos. The first recorded song to define the style of the band was “Song For the Dead King”.
At the end of 2002 the Aerium recorded the first demo-CD including three songs: (“Song For the Dead King”, “Sentinel” and “Wanderer”).
In 2003 they worked on new material, played gigs and finally decided to record some of new songs. Those records was planned both as an album and as demo-CD.
Recording was finished in July 2004 and the result was forty minute long CD titled “Song For the Dead King”. Now the band is working on new material and preparing for a local concert tour. In October 2004 The Aerium signed a contract with Greek metal label Black Lotus for two albums and one optional.
