Aenaon – Phenomenon
Et in Arcadia Ego
Perdition, a New Era
The Virus Code
And… Chaos Enthroned
Navel
Extradimensional Wall
This is the first official release from Aenaon who come from the sunny shores of Greece, however like many of that country’s myths of old this is darker and more twisted than might be expected.
Their style is predominantly black metal but with a very technical and experimental feel with the pace being fast throughout. There is a hint of Behemoth detected times, especially when things start veering towards the epic end of the scale with ‘Navel’ and ‘Extradimensional Wall’ being exemplary.
The production on ‘Phenomenon’ is that of a band brimming with sonic experimentation despite the treble sadly shadowing the more intricate nuances at times!
If this release is anything to go by it wouldn’t be at all surprising if the next recording produces something very special indeed. Aenaon are certainly a band to keep an eye on!
