AEON – Swedish Death Metal Quintet Sign to Metal Blade Records
Metal Blade Records have announced the signing of death metal band AEON.
Known for their technicality and sheer brutality AEON has made a place for themselves among the leaders of the death metal community by creating excruciatingly heavy, yet catchy songs that have caught the attention death metal heavy weights CANNIBAL CORPSE, who are some of their biggest supporters. “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” states CANNIBAL CORPSEbassist Alex Webster.
Not content with merely playing extremely fast, AEON set out to take death metal to a new level by having all the instruments “support” each other while taking the time to create superior riffs, lyrics and vocal patterns with thought behind them. With the band already working on new material for their Metal Blade debut and tours already in the works, you can expect to see great things from this Swedish death metal quintet.
Here’s what guitarist Zeb Nilsson had to say about their recent signing:
“This is the kind of deal we’ve been waiting for since we started up as a band. We are all very exited about this new chapter for us, and we already have 7 or 8 new songs done for our next album and they all sound killer, I am very satisfied so far…”
AEON is:
