After 10 years of an eventful history, AEONS OF ASHES dropped a bunch of exciting news on April 30th, 2023. 4LE4 joined the band as an (additional) front woman, a new EP (Determination) will be released on July 1st, and a whole album (“The wasteland Chronicles”) will be out on September 23th.

Back in 2013, a new band from Lower Austria's metal stronghold St. Pölten, Austria entered the spotlight. Soon AEONS OF ASHES had their first live appearances, supporting renowned acts such as Dark Tranquillity and Tristania in their first year.

In autumn 2014, they released their debut album Shutdown as well as their videos Monocracy and Remember My Name, the latter collecting more than 100.000 views on YouTube to become one of Austria’s most successful metal videos ever.

Numerous club and festival shows in and around Austria included support shows for Illdisposed, Hail of Bullets, and Der Weg einer Freiheit. In November 2017, AEONS OF ASHES' 6-track-EP Impatience was released. Two more videos followed, Dying Lights and the explicit animal rights anthem Crown of Creation.

After that, the band entered a process of self-discovery, eventually coming up with a unique new artistic philosophy. In the year 2019, wasteland2570 (http://www.wasteland2570.com) was created, a post-apocalyptic fantasy universe providing new inspiration for music, lyrics, lore and videos on http://www.youtube.com/user/AeonsOfAshes. The interactive concept even included the creation of their own pen-and-paper role play game.

The first EP right out of wasteland2570 was Initiation (November 2021). Music videos introducing the public to the enigmatic new universe were Resilience, Shift of Perspective, The Alchemyst, and The Realisation. In the end of 2021, founding member and guitarist Jorgo left the band. His successor f4v5t (pronounced "Faust") was introduced with the live performance video Ascendancy.

AEONS OF ASHES' current musical style can best be described as postmodern death metal. The EP Anticipation was released on 29.10.2022 during their most recent wasteland show at Freiraum St. Pölten. For this triad of songs, the band revealed three AI-generated, wasteland-related videos: Requiem, A Dormant Peril, and The Awakening.

With new vocalist 4LE4 now on board, AEONS OF ASHES is breaking new ground, since a combination of male and female growls in one band might be called very unusual. The new album will consist of 12 songs, of which 4LE4 will already be featured on 6, as well as 9 atmospheric ambient interludes right out of wasteland2570. Read more on Last.fm.
