“AEON’s musicianship is among the best in death metal, but their songwriting is what truly sets them apart. It's rare to find a death metal band that is simultaneously crushingly brutal and infectiously catchy. AEON is one of those rare bands!“ This quote is not from a publicist, but from one of the most respected and influential musicians in death metal, CANNIBAL CORPSE bassist Alex Webster.

Formed in 1999, from the very beginning AEON set themselves apart from the traditional Swedish death metal sound, incorporating different influences into their style. The result is a crushing interpretation of extreme death metal delivered with a conviction, technique and superiority rarely found in today’s scene.

Tours with the likes of MAYHEM, HATE ETERNAL and the aforementioned CANNIBAL CORPSE have seen the band hone their style and skills to near-perfection, which is now documented on their new album “Path Of Fire”. Mixed by HATE ETERNAL’s Eric Rutan and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music, “Path Of Fire” is probably the most intense AEON album to date. And with a production that sounds more organic and “classic death metal” sounding rather then the nowadays typical “super modern, compressed-right-the-fuck-out-of-dynamics, loudness war” production, you are all in for a real treat. Folks…. this IS death metal!
