ZYKLON MAKE LONDON PREMIERE
AEON COMPLETED AND SET FOR SEPTEMBER RELEASE
London: ZYKLON premiered material from their forthcoming album, Aeon, at London's famed Camden Underworld on June 6. The performance, which also included a set from labelmates Myrkskog, was preceeded by an advance listening session of Aeon for select media, including Kerrang!, Terrorizer, Rocksound, Powerplay, Total Rock as well as Germany's Legacy, Metal Hammer, Metal Heart, America's Metal Maniacs and Canada's Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles. The premiere also attracted the attention of metal notables - Dimmu Borgir's Nicolas Barker, Cathedral's Lee Dorian, Napalm Death's Shane Embry and Cradle of Filth's Adrian Erlandsson.
Aeon, set for worldwide release in early September, is starting to catch early fan and media attention as expectations for the album are already high. Kerrang! says of the album, "state of the art death metal that will blow your fucking nuts off." Recorded at Akkerhaugen Lydstudioin in Norway and mixed at Studio Fredman with Fredrik Nordstrom in Sweden, Aeon shows extensive growth for the band. Guitarist Samoth says, "the new line-up works perfectly and this time we were a lot more prepared as a band before entering the studio. The album has a lot more depth to it. Both the production and the song structures are, in general, heavier and I feel we've managed to create a stronger variation in the songs as well. Aeon is definitely a step up from World of Worms."
Founded in 1998, it was evident from the start that ZYKLON was to be more than just a "side project" for Emperor guitarist Samoth and drummer Trym. Teaming with Destructhor (guitar, also of Myrkskog), the trio's early rehearsals ignited a spark that would put them on the fast track. The band's debut, World ov Worms, was released in 2001 to instant media and fan acclaim. Featuring guest appeances from members of Limbonic Art and Arcturus, the album found itself upon many magazine and critic "Best of Year" lists.
Album art for Aeon has been created by long-time friend and accomplished artist Stephen O'Malley (Emperor, Burzum, Darkthrone). The album features guest contributions from Void's Ocd and Red Harvest's Ofu Kahn (both courtesy of Nocturnal Art Productions). The album again features lyrics penned by Faust (Emperor). It is the first album to feature new vocalist/bassist Secthdamon. Final track listings for Aeon: Psyklon Aeon, Core Solution, Subtle Manipulation, Two Thousand Years, No Name Above the Names, The Prophetic Method, Speciment Eruption, Electric Current, An Eclectic Manner.[0 replies][disscussion link] [views=13796] |
