Aeon Winds are a band from Slovakia that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2010 demo "Aeon" which will be re-issued in August, 2024 by ATMF and also consists of bonus tracks that where not present on the original version.
Atmospheric sounding keyboards start off the demo which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. The music also has its symphonic moments while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody and clean vocals can also be heard on a few songs.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Acoustic guitars and clean playing can also be heard on a couple of songs along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody. Spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording as well as the songs also adding in good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, a couple of tracks are also instrumentals and they also bring in a couple of covers from The Cure. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Mythology and Folklore from the Carpathians.
In my opinion this was another great sounding recording from Aeon Winds and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "To The Darkness He Went" "On The Wings Of Ravens" and "When The light Fades Out". 8 out of 10.
