New Music Watch: Aeron’s Wake

New Music Feature:
Aeron’s Wake EP
Instrumental Celt Metal from Windsor, Ontario might seem to be a bit of an incongruity, but then again that’s hardly seemed to matter for the genre nowadays (I’m looking at you…uh…90% of all folk/celt/viking/troll/pirate/leprechaun/unicorn bands!). What makes Aeron’s Wake stand out, however, is the fact that they place their focus on–now get this–the music. There’s no pastiched fiddle fiddler stuck in the background to add just enough ‘world’ flavored soundbits to justify stamping average melo-thrash as ‘folk’; the bowed instrument is actually a foremost feature in the compositions. Not to mention the fact that it’s a real live warm human body filling out the position rather than a glorified Casio keyboard (again, looking at you 90%…). There’s enough going on here to justify the label, including progressions with often more classical leanings than modern, and no songs about finding Greenland to distract from them.
Go ahead and check these boys out, I promise there’s no trolls, swamp witches, drunken pirates, or Swiss guys pretending to be Irish involved.
