At least this time around, there where no big tours planned like the last time Nils bailed out on us. We only had one show planned ahead that was scheduled to take place october 16. We kindly asked Nils to do at least this show with us before he left, but he simply didn’t agree to do so. This leaves us with no choice but to cancel our spot in this event. There is just to little time to rehearse a full headline set with a new session-drummer. Perhaps the promotor (Hårdrocksklubben) finds a new headliner for this evening or it will get canceled. Keep your eyes open on Hårdrocksklubben’s (www.hardrocksklubben.se) website for further information about this event.

We will now be focusing on finding a worthy replacement for Nils and until we do, we will try to fill the spot temporarily with session-drummers.

This statement will also serve as an launch for a new drummer

If you are a drummer and thinks that you have what it takes to replace Nils in Aeon. Don’t hesitate to send us an application with some audio / video of you playing drums to: aeon_666@hotmail.com mark the subject with “Drummer application”.  You don’t really need to be able to play exactly every little detail Nils does on the albums. The most important is that you are able to play the basics in the songs and the rest can be worked out from there. Naturally, we would prefer a drummer who lives in Sweden, but we are also open for distant / foreigner drummers as far as Europe goes, at least.

We have now added a Full HD (1080p) version of our new music video of the song “Forgiveness Denied” to our YouTube channel. Check it out now, and make sure to switch to HD while viewing it.

Guitarist Daniel Dlimi comments on the theme of the song and video: “There have been a lot of scandals revealed lately, regarding priests (especially catholic ones) who have been abusing children sexually. In my world, there is nothing more innocent than a child, and the ones who abuse a child sexually will never be forgiven. In my opinion, they deserve to die a horrible, painful death. We want to dedicate this song/video to them, the filthy fucking priests who have laid a hand on a child sexually; we hate you, and want you dead.“

The track is available for streaming on both our Myspace or Reverbnation profile

Comments by guitarist / composer Zeb Nilsson: “This is kind of funny, cause I actually dreamt that we were performing this song live and it sounded so cool that I had to start working on it the day after I had the dream.Of course all the details in it were not in my dream, but the whole concept and idea behind how it was gonna sound was all very realistic.
This is a very fast song and it is easy to catch I think. It has some really heavy parts too, and the leads on it ended up really cool too. I think this song will be a good first sample of this album!”

Comments guitarist Zeb Nilsson: “We talked to Erik about this idea on the tour we did with HATE ETERNAL, and he really felt like doing it too, so here we are. Of course he did a great job, the guitars came out HUGE! And this production has more of a classical death metal feel to it, more organic and dynamic than most modern productions out there today. I couldn’t be happier with the way it all came out.”

Guitarist Daniel Dlimi on the front art of Path Of Fire: “I created this symbol/badge that for me reflects life, death and the path you have chosen to live your life by. It’s about whatever you want to chain yourself to 10 commandments or live free after your own conscience and will.”

Stay tuned for further information and a new song that will be posted shortly. Path Of Fire is set for release May 21/24 in Europe and May 25 in the US via Metal Blade Records.

Path of Fire is probably the most intense Aeon album up to date. And with a production that sounds more organic and “classic deathmetal” sounding rather then the nowadays typical “supermodern, compressed right-the-fuck-out of dynamics, loudness war” production….  you are all in for a real treat. Folks…. this IS death metal!

Needless to say, we are really happy with how the ­album turned out and and we can’t wait for you to get a chance to listen to it. The album will be released later this year by Metal Blade Records.

More album details and release dates will be announced later on so keep your eyes open.
