The music of Nox Aeterna (which means Eternal Night in Latin), can't be easily labelled, but is best defined as melodic death metal. The band is influenced especially by Scandinavian melodic death metal bands, but also by various other subgenres.
Through the years, Nox Aeterna has gained experience with live performances on several stages and festivals in the Netherlands, like Baroeg, Zomerterras, Brandersfeesten, Popcentrale, Elektra Metal Massacre.
