Aenaon

Aenaon is a Greek avant-garde black metal band that formed in Athens around 2006. Known for their boundary-pushing sound, they blend raw black metal intensity with jazzy saxophones, psychedelic textures, and poetic lyricism. Their name, derived from the Greek word for "eternal," hints at their fascination with philosophy, mysticism, and existential themes. Albums like *Extance* (2014) and *Hypnosophy* (2016) showcase their knack for chaotic beauty, weaving frenzied riffs with unexpected sax solos and spoken-word passages. Over the years, they’ve toured Europe and collaborated with artists like Rotting Christ’s Sakis Tolis, cementing their reputation as experimental trailblazers in the extreme metal scene. Recent releases like *Mnemosyne* (2023) continue their tradition of dark, genre-defying creativity.
