Noted for its catchy melodies, diverse mix of songs and styles, progressive time changes, Aeon Zen are a new force to be reckoned with. It started in 2006 when Rich Hinks, with his local Cambridge musician friends, played and composed music influenced by prog rock and metal. It was at this time, when the friends split to various universities around the UK at age 18, that Rich founded Aeon Zen. With Rich signing to Time Divide Records Ltd. in November 2008 to create the album "A Mind's Portrait" (released May 2009), Rich notated, recorded, produced and played multiple instruments (guitars, bass, keyboards and vocals), with Lloyd Musto on drums for this album. With the Record Company's support Rich was able to approach well respected guest vocalists to also appear (Nils K. Rue of Pagan's Mind, Andi Kravljaca of Silent Call (ex-Seventh Wonder), Andreas Novak of Mind's Eye and Elyes Bouchoucha of Myrath), which blends perfectly with the quality of the production and musicianship on this album to make a must have in anyone's music collection. Mattias Norén, famous for his spectacular artwork, produced the album cover. Rich is now hard at work on a 2nd Aeon Zen album (due 2010) and has put together a live band of Aeon Zen, with session musicians, with tour support from the Record Company. |
