Rising from the wastes of Northwest Ohio, Astralborne saw its inception in the winter of 2016 when bandmates Derik Smith (guitars) and Jayson Cessna (drums) of Hammer Horde embarked on a new musical journey. After the release of Hammer Horde's third album "Fed to the Wolves", the group found themselves on temporary hiatus, giving Smith and Cessna an opportunity to write new music. Soon, the material began to change direction, requiring a side project to be formed to serve as both creative outlet and vehicle for their new sound. Enter the birth of Astralborne. This journey led to a collaboration with friend and musician Paul Fuzinski (bass & vocals) of Blood of the Prophets. Together, the trio entered the studio in April of 2017.

Astralborne continues in the style of Smith and Cessna's previous works, infusing black, thrash, and melodic death metal into a diverse, aural assault. The group's debut record, "Eternity's End", is a 10-track opus, comprised of equally mighty and majestic original songs, as well as previously unreleased material from Smith and Cessna's former band Forever Lost. The outcome is an uncompromising tribute to melodeath's forefathers, with enough modern-day aggression to satisfy both old-school and new-school listeners alike.
