Aeons are a band from Isle of man that plays a melodic mixture of black, death and progressive metal with some touches of metalcore and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Consequences" which will be released in September.
Spoken word parts and cinematic soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction. Elements of prog metal can also be heard in the guitar riffing while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
The vocals also bring in a mixture of nu metal style shouts and death metal growls while clear singing is also utilized at times. When clean playing is utilized they also give the music more of a progressive feeling along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
Synths are also added on some of the tracks along with the screams also adding in touches of black metal when they are utilized. One of the songs also introduces acoustic guitars onto the recording and all of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Aeons are a very decent sounding mixture of black, death, progressive metal and metalcore and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rubicon" "Blight" and "Evelyn". 7 out of 10.
