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!

Rich checks in from day 3 of mixing the new album

16th 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

Aeon Zen album number 3

23rd 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!

Rich Hinks

Rich really appreciates this opportunity of touring with Mr. Townsend enormously and would like to thank him and his management, saying, “It’s a huge buzz, it’s great to take in so many countries and to tour with the fantastic DTP.
