Aeon - Path of Fire [2010] (Brutal Death Metal)
Lable : Metal Blade Records
Swedish death metal, I mean real Swedish death metal with the legacy of brutality that everyone can identify in the form of (insert your favorite Swedish death metal bands here) lives on in Aeon, a band that hails from Östersund a city in Jämtland (which is basically in the mountains and towards the Norwegian border). Östersund, while not known for its thriving metal scene, has indeed birthed one of Sweden’s current and most brutal death metal bands who were signed to Metal Blade and released an album a couple of years ago entitled Rise to Dominate which really excited fans of the tech and (more-or-less) brutal styles of death metal. I believe when I was introduced to them the words “fucking ridiculous” were definitely involved somewhere in that conversation.
Now the gritty details: Aeon, if you haven’t heard them before, is not a ground breaking band. Following well in the footsteps of other Swedish bands and, of course, American death metal bands such as Morbid Angel, Malevolent Creation and so forth, these guys produce a full frontal aural assault—but they’re not doing anything that is going to win them any trophies in the Angry Metal Guy History of Metal Awards Show. That said, there is much to be said for bands who are producing straight up solid, brutal and interesting material like Path of Fire which bursts out the gate with the line “On your knees you plead / forgiveness DENIED!”
