Let’s Get Some Finnish Death Metal Up in This Bitch with Sons of Aeon!

Here’s how Sons of Aeon guitarist Wille Naukkarinen describes his own band, in lieu of the standard, boring band bio:

I grew up on Nineties death metal. It was interesting to me because that was the era when death metal really started evolving and bands started showing different colors instead of all just being part of the same grey mass. Seemed like the un-death metal-ish elements fascinated me more than the other, ‘normal’ side.

Naukkarinen then goes on to name-check Edge of Sanity, Entombed, Xysma, Napalm Death, At the Gates, Cathedral and Bolt Thrower as some of the bands that fit the above description who heavily influenced him in his young years.

Interested? Stream the band’s self-titled new album at Inferno.fi right now. I promise you won’t be disappointed. The stomping, energized riffs of the first song alone were enough to hook me in. I’m currently on the At the Gate-ish third track “Burden” and my head is still banging. Yours will be too.
