1st of September, AEON once again enters the Empire Studio here in Ostersund/Sweden to record our third (yet untitled) upcoming album. As of today, we are about half way through the recording-process and it’s going exactly as planned. 10 new songs are being put on tape (hard drive) and we are pretty confident that all of you who liked our previous efforts or death metal in general will love this. When we are done tracking the songs, none other than Erik Rutan from HATE ETERNAL/ex-MORBID ANGEL at Mana Studios in Florida will be mixing the album. You may know his killer work from such bands as CANNIBAL CORPSE, NILE, VITAL REMAINS, GOATWHORE among others. We are absolutely confident that this death metal maniac will give us the mix/production we are looking for. Erik is a really great guy, an awesome studio engineer/producer, a killer musician and he really knows his death metal A/B’s. This will, without a doubt kick some serious ass.

A note on the recording, since we recently replaced our bass player, Daniel & Zeb are handling all the bass on this album. There wasn’t enough time for Victor to learn the songs and both studios where already booked. No worries though, both Daniel & Zeb can handle a bass so this is not a problem. Once the album is finished it will be released by Metal Blade Records. No release dates are set at this point.

Stay tuned for more details and info as this Death Metal Opus is coming to life.

First of all we want to state that Max is a great bass player and a real nice person. Unfortunately, he couldn’t handle the life on the road all that well. We noticed how he struggled through the last tour we did. He really loves the actual moment on stage, but everything else around that comes with the life on the road was just a great deal of pain for him. So both AEON and Max agreed that this way of life wasn’t exactly made for him. Being on tour in a not so known death metal band like AEON often means really tough conditions and bad economy. We totally understand that not everyone can put up with this way of life. There are no hard feelings from any of the parts. We would like to thank Max for the time with the band and we wish him all the best with his future endeavors. Take care bro.

When one leaves, a new one has to come… and there is no difference in this case. Our new bass player is a great, well experienced musician who is really into death metal. We think that this guy is absolutely perfect for the spot. So let’s rise the horns high and welcome our new bass player, Victor Brandt (TOTALT JÄVLA MÖRKER, former SATYRICON touring bassist) to AEON. We are looking forward to all the great death metal madness we got ahead of us with our new member.

Aeon will play at this kickass festival Rockweekend in Kilafors / Sweden. I think that this festival has the best metalband line-up for the year in Sweden. So if you are planning to visit a festival here this year, then Rockweekend is the right choice. Some of the other bands on the bill are: WASP, Testament, Dimmu Borgir, Paradise Lost, Dark Funeral, Arch Enemy and a lot more…..

AEON is scheduled to hit the stage on friday 2009-07-10 15:00
Stage: Rockklassikertältet

We are now back home again after a trouble-filled but still successful European tour. We would like to thank Hate Eternal, Misery Index, S.Y.N.T, our tour manager Tomas Mladek, Avocado Booking and not least… all of you crazy people who came to our show, we had a great time thanks to you.

We will now enter full writing-mode and create the remaining songs for our upcoming album.

We where forced to cancel our show 2009-01-25 in Nantes / France. The reason for this was once again that our tourbuss broke down. We are today going to get tourbuss nr 4 for this tour and its now provided by another company. We are sorry for this short notice cancelation, but the problem was once again totally out of our control.

We where forced to cancel our show 2009-01-11 in Linköping / Sweden. The reason for this was that our tourbuss broke down and we where stucked in Kolding / Denmark. We are sorry for this short notice cancelation, but the problem was totally out of our control.

The show 12.01.2009 Germany / Kassel has been cancelled due to venue getting a new owner and forcing the promotor to cancel. There has also been a venue change for the show in France / Paris 26.01.2009. The new venue is Nouveau Casino.

See our “Tour Dates” section for a complete and detailed tour-routing.

We are really excited to announce that Aeon are now endorsed by Schecter Guitars. So from now on Daniel, Zeb and Max will exclusively be playing on Schecter guitars and basses.

As for the weapon of choice, Daniel has chosen to go with a Loomis-7 as his primary guitar and will be using his previous Schecter C-7 Hellraiser as backup. Zeb has chosen to go with C-7 Hellraiser’s and Max has chosen the Damien-5 bass.

We would like to thank Fitzpatrick and Hamm & Nilsson for sorting this out for us.

Here is what Daniel & Zeb has to say about this:

“Schecter Guitars pretty much has anything we could ask for! The instrument comes with a great design, they are perfectly setup directly from the factory and not the least, they sounds awesome and got great action. It’s safe to say that they’re probably the most price-worthy guitars and basses a metal musician could buy these days.

In our opinion, Schecter makes the best 7-string guitars available on the market with their great design and the active EMG’s 707, but still with advantageous prices.

Products that we really can stand for.”
