Biography
Aeon Throne sprung to life during the summer holidays of 2010, when guitarist and songwriter Jørn finally decided he wanted to gather together musicians for an extreme metal band he had been writing music for and planning for years. He explained the project to long-time friend and band mate Storm, who recently figured he was growing tired of the guitar and wanted to focus on his vocals. This seemed like the perfect opportunity for them to finally be able to work together properly after some unsuccessful projects in the past.
Jørn continued writing songs while Storm worked on his vocals the rest of that summer until Storm by coincidence stumbled upon Simen, whom had been a part of the music scene in Drammen/Lier for a long time. The three gathered together to discuss the project and Simen quickly found himself more than willing to join on the bass. Through him the guys got in touch with Sondre which seemed to be the perfect drummer for the band. The lineup was complete!
With most of the material already written, they were off to a quick start and not many rehearsals later, they played their first live show. From there they played a lot of gigs and started planning the release of an EP. During the preparations for the record they entered the Wacken Metal Battle competition in Norway and triumpantly winning the competition, meaning they got to play on the biggest metal festival in the world; Wacken Open Air.
Due to a series of unfortunate events, they were forced to depart with Simen Folkestad. And with the support of two session members they performed along with Gehenna and 1349 at Rockefeller.
However, despite the great accomplishments, Aeon Throne were now forced to take a break to recover, as the year had proven to be a great exhaustion. Surprisingly Archaon of 1349, which understood the situation, introduced them to Marcus. Which again completed and reunited the band, and after a few rehearsals the young Aeons felt the magic floating again like never before and welcomed Marcus as a part of Aeon Throne.
After some back and forth, and loads of complications, Jørn decided to leave Aeon Throne the summer of 2012 and Storm found himself left alone with the Throne. Yet again Archaon of 1349 and Secthdamon of Myrkskog and Zyklon stepped up, helping the young Storm getting back on his feet, to again restore not just the band, but the vision that Aeon Throne had become over the last years. Performing with 1349, Nidingr and Monolithic, the evening 21th of December, Storm handling the guitars as well as vocals again made the vision clear, unraveling the path, to again emerge as a strong band.
