melodic death metal

from germany





Aeon of Awareness was forged in 2020 as a two-man melodic death metal army by Meta and Per. Facing a world of uncertainty, we decided it was time to bundle our creative force and finally realize a long-awaited dream.

On one hand, this project represents a return to our musical roots. At the same time, it’s essential for us to forge new paths and break free from the shackles of the past. In doing so, the circle is complete.

An Aeon of Awareness has begun.

Although originally conceived as a studio-only project, the urge to take our songs to the world’s stages grew stronger after the release of our first EP, „Dialogue With The Unconscious.“ And so, we began to strengthen our ranks for the stage: Stefan joined us first on drums, followed some time later by Theo on bass and Erik on guitar as essential reinforcements.

Stylistically, we draw inspiration from timeless heroes of the Gothenburg school as well as other death and black metal bands like Be’lakor, Behemoth, Hypocrisy, Wolfheart and many more.

„What Aeon of Awareness taps into here is nothing short of what many can come to expect from top tier acts of the sound. Even if we were to do aware with the fact that this is but the band’s first full-length album, Aeon of Awareness has thrown something very interesting down with practically all the marks of greatness in the making.“

„“Tūmatauenga” features a steadier riff at first, with some sober sounding spoken words. What comes out of the darkness from there is a massive wolf with large talons and fangs, and each heavy strike of the riff and drums brings new power to the table. […]“

„Aeon of Awareness is able to express feelings through music so well, that the sounds really capture the stories behind it. A true pearl for the ear. On top of that, this album seems to be connected with the previous EP called Wairua.“

„Aeon of Awareness hinterlassen auf ihrem Debütalbum The Embracing Light Of Rahorenga einen bleibenden Eindruck und verbinden dabei melodische Großtaten vergangener Zeiten mit dem Sound aktueller Metal-Veröffentlichungen aus verschiedenen Genres. Ein spannender Ansatz, der für die Zukunft noch Großes versprechen lässt. Bis dahin hat sich die Band weit mehr als einen bloßen Achtungserfolg verdient.“

„Mal melodisch, mal werden härtere Töne angeschlagen. Trotz der mächtigen instrumentalen Fraktion setzen sich die Vocals durch und der Text ist klar verständlich, was mitunter nicht immer der Fall ist.“

„The Embracing Light Rarohenga radiates a pristine and refined production quality, where every nuance is crystal clear. Each beat of the drums resonates, the subtle vibrations of the vocalist’s throat are palpable, and the chords glide gracefully across the fretboard. This cohesive fruit of art is the result of precise devilmanship, offering listeners a profound experience that intertwines darkness with power, enveloping them in a rich, atmospheric, and melodic journey.“

„Midtempo-Beats und gurgelnde Vocals unterstützen das zermürbende Soundbild. Irgendwo zwischen den ersten Amon Amarth Alben, dänischer Power à la Illdisposed und deutschen Acts wie Asenblut liegt die Basis von Aeon Of Awareness.“

„This all comes together nicely and creates a very compelling album overall. It has a bit of a Viking style for a melodic death metal album, but manages to bring a tuneful sound forth.“
