Swedish metallers Aeon have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:

"We are happy to say that we are now finished with our new album Path Of Fire. The album was recorded at the Empire Studio in Östersund / Sweden in September 2009. Mixed at Mana Studio / St Petersburg, FL, USA by Erik Rutan in October 2009 (and some minor changes where made in January 2010). Mastering was done by Alan Douches for West West Side Music. All artwork and layout made by Daniel Dlimi.

Path Of Fire is probably the most intense Aeon album up to date. And with a production that sounds more organic and "classic death metal" 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."

Aeon has posted the following updates on their website:

Since it has been awfully quiet in here for the last 3 month I thought it would be fair to inform you all about what's going on in the Aeon camp. We have been working really hard on finding a temporary or permanent solution to our drummer situation. There are some interesting drummers out there that we have been talking to but we have not come to any conclusions just yet.

And speaking of drummers, we have straightened a few things out with Nils (former drummer) under the last month. He contacted us and wanted to sort a couple of things out regarding to his earlier behaviors. He is very aware of the damage he caused us and he is just sorry for how things turned out. I believe there where some personal / private issues involved that caused him to get all burned / stressed out and that eventually made him to act the way he did. We are still very disappointed in how things where handled by him, but since Nils is a very good friend of ours, we just can't stay mad at him forever.

Nils have also stated that he really want's to continue to play drums for Aeon. But there are still some questions from our side that needs answers before we can even considering taking him back as our permanent drummer. After all? he is still the drummer in Dark Funeral which will probably continue to conflict with our future schedules etc. Before any decisions are made, we will have to think this thru properly.

But as a permanent drummer or not? right now we are actually blasting some tunes with Nils in the rehearsal-room and I must admit it feels awesome to do this again. And while we're at it, we decided to do something extra for you all?. or at least for the ones who lives close or are willing to travel. We will throw you a full headline show right here in Östersund / Sweden the 9th of February with "Dimension 34" as opening act. How about that?? Do you dare to miss this?

/ Aeon, 2008-01-28

Drummer Nils has posted this update

"To have such a long break in communication was not something I intended. It was a result of some personal problems I was going through at the time which I explained to the guys. I have apologized and want very much to win back their trust. I'm really looking forward to this show, it´s gonna be great playing these songs live again!"

Finally! The new Aeon album "Rise To Dominate" is finished and to be unleashed upon mankind shortly! Be prepared for a technical Death Metal apocalypse! "Rise To Dominate" is Aeon's first album for Metal Blade Records and their third in total.

According to the band, the new songs are even "more brutal and raw than ever before". With all this going for the band, it's no wonder that no other than Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Edge Of Sanity, a.o.), could be persuaded to mix the record. All hell's about to break loose around Aeon!

What can possibly be a bigger honor for a brutal death metal band than having the godfathers of the genre, Cannibal Corpse, declare to be fans of this band and take them out on a European tour? That's exactly what happened with Aeon. As a matter of fact, Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster doesn't waste a chance to sing Aeon's praises: "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!"

"Rise To Dominate" will be released the 7th of September (G/A/CH/I) - 10th of September (Europe)!

Tracklist "Rise To Dominate"

1) Helel Ben-Shachar
2) Spreading Their Disease
3) Living Sin
4) Hate Them
5) You Pray To Nothing
6) Caressed By The Holy Man
7) House Of Greed
8) Godless
9) When The War Comes
10) There Will Be No Heaven For Me
11) Luke 4-5-7
12) No One Escapes Us

Today the band have posted the following message on their official website:

"We are now gearing up to hit the studio this weekend to start recording the followup to '05 Unique Leader release "Bleeding The False". 12 new songs of pure hatred is about to be put on tape and it fells fucking great. We will be pushing that red button in Empire Studio for about one month and when that's done, the tracks will be sent down to the legendary 'Unisound Studio' for some insane mixing and mastering by Dan Swanö. Needless to say we're very excited make this album!

The album will be released by Metal Blade Records.

So let the madness begin?"

East Coast death metallers Pyrexia's scheduled European tour, also featuring, Aeon, Decrepit Birth and Inherit Disease has been cancelled.

Decrepit Birth comment, "Fuck... just got the news from UL, the January European tour has been cancelled. The booking company called off the tour due to the fact that dates were not getting finalized and time was running out. I'm really bummed, we were getting ready... and I guess we won't be there for a while, probably 'till we finish recording our next CD. well, gives us more time to really focus on the new album... Sorry guys."

KARMAGEDDON MEDIA presents a new sub-division for the underground "NEW AEON MEDIA"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Annoyed and irritated", that's how I sometimes feel when I hear and see new releases from so-called "bigger" names in the Metal scene.

A lot of these albums are in no way better than what I hear in the Underground, sometimes they do not even stand a comparison.

Are some of those bands "burned up"? Guess so...

And then another killer demo or album reaches us, but to develop any new band as of today is nearly impossible, unless one develops a good system...

So we decided to start NEW AEON MEDIA as a sub-division for KARMAGEDDON MEDIA, to support the Underground and bring you (hopefully) the best of the Underground.

So far we are very pleased with the first bands we came to an agreement with, FINAL DAWN from Finland (mix of Rotting Christ, Sentenced and older Megadeth), RIBSPREADER (unbelievable Old School Swedish Death Metal, produced by Dan Swano who is in the band too) and JUDGEMENT DAY from The Netherlands (brutal, twisted innovative Death Metal, no baggy trousers bullshit, but extreme Metal!).

As one will notice these albums will be released soon, and we think they deserve to be released... your support is appreciated, support new talent, no an old band that did the same album 3 times by now!

Bands feel free to send material to:

NEW AEON MEDIA
P.O. BOX 277
6300 AG Valkenburg
The Netherlands

We listen to your recordings, and if you stick out of the masses we will surely get in touch.

And yes, we are not limited on a specific style.

Guido Heijnens on behalf of NEW AEON MEDIA / KARMAGEDDON MEDIA.
