Snippets from all five songs from the 'Sunchaser' EP, due for release on 25/7/14.

"Sunchaser" Teaser

The 7-headed, 14-legged creation that is Aonia comprises a dual-wield of 'sopranos with balls' as vocalists, along with shredding twin axes, symphonic keys and driving drums and bass - for fans of operatic metal, power metal, progressive metal and NWOBHM.  Aonia’s tsunami of sound is a blend of the very old and the very new – a tempered steel in a velvet glove.

Aonia released their second EP, 'Sunchaser', on July 25th, 2014. The addition of a second operatically trained vocalist and full, orchestrated, more technical keyboards give more depth and create an intricate tapestry of sound and the band is excited to capture the magic produced live in CD form. In addition, Simon ‘Gimli’ Cliffe’s decades of expertise with mixing and recording have given the EP an arresting and unique sound, full of bombast and drama.

The Seven

The Seven - Preview

Aonia is a 7-headed, 14-legged creature, wielding two 'sopranos with balls' as vocalists, shredding twin axes, searing keys, and driving drums and bass. An operatic/progressive metal band, Aonia has been compared to artists such as Therion, Avantasia, Nightwish, Epica, and ReVamp. 

Aonia are veterans of Bloodstock (2018), SOS Fest (2016) and Dames of Darkness (2015).

To critical acclaim, the band released their debut album, 'The Seven' in October 2018. An ambitious work, the ten tracks feature up to five vocalists - including some exciting guest appearances from Blaze Bayley (Blaze Bayley, Wolfsbane, Ex-Iron Maiden) and Iliana Basileios Tsakiraki (Enemy of Reality). There is intricate interplay between guitars and keyboards, and a more fully realised dynamic counterpoint between the lead vocals than the band’s 2014 “Sunchaser” EP.

In addition to their recent endorsement by Vocalzone, vocalists Joanne Kay Robinson and Melissa Adams – who have been trained by the internationally-renowned Victorian opera expert Martin Yates – have recently featured on the current Blaze Bayley album, “The Redemption of William Black.” The duo also featured on Bayley’s previous releases “Infinite Entanglement” and “Endure and Survive.

In addition to their hard work with Aonia, guitarist Przemek ‘Slick’ Druzkowski is driving forward with his luthier work, handcrafting his “Druzkowski Guitars,” and James ‘Carrot’ Brough is busy with his new recording business, “Black Carrot Studios.”

As they press forward, the band continues to develop their songwriting and their live shows, adding more theatrical elements as they go.
