Today AEON ZEN has released a video of the "Top 5 Guitar Riffs" from Enigma. The video is being premiered exclusively on GuitarWorld.com the online home of Guitar World Magazine. Check out the video HERE.Frontman Rich Hinks described the video: "What better way to show everyone some pieces of our new album than for me to perform them for you? There are so many riffs on this album that I personally consider my favourite, so it was really difficult to just choose 5 (well... 10 if you put the instruments together!). These should give you a flavour of AEON ZEN and Enigma and hopefully inspire you listen to the whole album to hear these riffs in context."

Merry Christmas!23rd December 2011 Hi everyone, This Christmas I thought it would be nice to give a little something back to everyone who has supported Aeon Zen throughout the year, came to see us live and enjoyed what we have to offer in any way or form. So without further ado, I hope you enjoy this and a very Merry Christmas to you all, and here's to a rocking 2012! http://youtu.be/ouqTJ9j8pvc First Clip of the New Album and Mixing Finished!21st November 2011 The new Aeon Zen album is now mixed! Have a listen to this video for the first audio clip released of the album! Next up: Mastering. I'll keep you updated! -Rich Rich checks in from day 3 of mixing the new album16th November 2011
Hi everyone, Rich here, checking in from the third day of mixing the new Aeon Zen album. I'm not sure what to say other than that this thing is sounding crushing, beautiful, melodic, diverse, brutal... And it's not even finished yet!  I'm almost done with the first mix of the album (have a look at the picture to the left to see what that looks like!), then I'll go back and listen in as much detail as humanly possible and get down to tweaking all the little things that keep you listening to the album again and again, so each time you hear it there's something new that catches your attention.It's a fantastic process to see all of these parts and songs come together to form the fully funcioning unit that it will soon be. In a way, this album is mixing itself to an extent. It feels like there is a certain way that it just wants and needs to sound and I occaisionally have to crack the whip and tell it "we're going in this direction, HAAAAAAA!", leading it where I want it to go. So other than that, I'm getting back down to it! Have a great day, and I'll check in again soon. Wish me luck in taming this beast! -Rich New Aeon Zen Live Show Available for Download

Check it out now: Aeon Zen album number 323rd February 2011 Hi everyone, Rich here with an update for you all. As I'm sure many of you know, Aeon Zen will be touring Europe supporting the Devin Townsend Project throughout March for 23 shows (see the tour page for more details), but that's not all that's been going on in Aeon Zen land. Along with getting ready for the tour, I've also been hard at work with a third Aeon Zen album and the process is well underway. So well underway in fact that I have finished writing and recording the majority of the music for the next album, and I'm now hard at work writing lyrics and vocal melodies. There's a big musical journey involved in the making, and listening, of this album and I look forward to you all joining me on it. There will be more details and updates along the way as the album progresses, so stay tuned! Until next time, stay well, keep rocking and I hope to see you on the road!
