Description/Reviews: 

The first track on the album is The Entity, a title full of foreboding, darkness and mystery and the song doesn’t disappoint with a muted intro that builds into a shredded riff that rips right through you. The drums are powerful and distinct and the keyboards and guitar grind away with vigour. The vocals are compelling and dynamic and delivered with more than a modicum of menace, if you like your progressive metal with lashings of malevolent danger then you’ve hit the jackpot here. Short, sharp coruscating guitar licks and burning solos fire from left, right and centre and you are left feeling like you’ve been in the middle of a maelstrom of aural violence, auspicious beginnings indeed! So, will the rest of the album follow up on that compelling opening? Soul Machine hoves into view with a riff that hits you right in the solar plexus and knocks you right on your back, it continues with an impressive guitar intro blasting the cobwebs and anything else away. The vocals deliver a massive punch especially on the catchy chorus where a growling harmonic works surprisingly well. There is even a touch of symphonic rock about this track before it takes a step back into a lulled interlude. Not for long though as we are even treated to some thrash metal villainy as the music monsters your soul, as if you are being run over by a fire breathing Minotaur. The viciously delicious guitar solo is a piece of mad genius, crazed and chaotic.

Description/Reviews: 

Four years after their formation, and having released two albums, in 2012 Aeon Zen are continuing from strength to strength, bringing their own brand of creative, complex, melodic progressive metal to fans all over the world, along with their highly energised live shows.
The band are set to release their new album entitled "Enigma" in early 2013, produced by the band's own Rich Hinks, which is set to push Aeon Zen's sound to new limits, from early influences of the likes of Dream Theater, Metallica and Opeth, to creating their own unique sound and identity.
