Erste Details und erste Single online!

AEON geben die ersten Details zu ihrem vierten Studioalbum bekannt! Das gute Teil wird Aeons Black heißen und am 16. November bei Metal Blade Records erscheinen. Das Mammutwerk mit 15 Songs wurde im schwedischen Empire Studio aufgenommen. Für Engineering, Mix und Mastering zeichnet Ronnie Björnström (Garageland Studios) verantwortlich, während das Artwork von Kristian "Necrolord" Wåhlin (Bathory, At The Gates, Dissection, Emperor) entworfen wurde.

Gründungsmitglied und Gitarrist Zeb Nilsson über das neue Album: "This is definitely our most varied albums to date; it has heavier songs yet it also has lots of fast blastbeats and double bass drumming. It's groovier this time, which I think we lacked on our last album, Path of Fire, which was fast paced almost all the way through. That and the amazing mix by Ronnie Björnström makes me feel pretty confident that this album will appeal to more people than our previous albums. And no, we have not gone softer in any aspect; it's just easier to catch with all this grooviness. It's metal right up your ass!"

Die erste Single, der Titeltrack Aeons Black, feiert heute auf der offiziellen Landing Page Premiere. Gitarrist Daniel Dlimi über den Song: "'Aeons Black' is the first song that I started to work on as we begun writing for this album, and it's also one of the very last to get finished. My goal was to create a somewhat heavier, odder, not-so-typical 'AEON' song. Once happy with the musical arrangement, I handed it over to [vocalist] Tommy [Dahlstöm] to let him write some lyrics and vocal patterns for it. He managed to get it even darker and more eerie. The lyrics are all about how everything living eventually must face the inevitable, which is death. There will be no savior, no heaven nor hell… just a pitch black, silent empty void."
