Swedish death
metal overlords, AEON, are pleased to unveil the details of their
fourth studio offering , Aeons Black. Set to drop via Metal
Blade Records on November 20, 2012, the mammoth 15-track Aeons
Black was recorded at Empire Studio in Östersund, Sweden,
engineered, mixed and mastered by Ronnie Björnström (Garageland Studios) and
features cover art by Kristian “Necrolord” Wåhlin (Bathory, At The Gates,
Dissection, Emperor et al).
Notes founding
guitarist Zeb Nilsson of their latest offering of
irreverence: “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!”
First single, title track “Aeons Black,” premieres today via the band’s official landing page. Comments
guitarist Daniel Dlimi of the tune: "’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."
