I'm thrilled to announce the release of a brand new metal bass course that I've been hard at work on over the last year with @metal.mastermind : Metal Bass Master
Aimed at anyone looking to either start playing bass or improve their existing bass skills, techniques, and compositions, I built this course from the ground up for beginners to seasoned bassists to show how you can go all the way from picking up the bass to writing awesome heavy riffs and full song metal epics.
As well as teaching how to play techniques in a structured and manageable way, I've also written two brand new songs exclusively for this course, as well as including real-world examples from songs I've written and recorded on (including Aeon Zen!), to showcase writing bass parts in context and incorporate all the techniques and ideas that you'll learn along the way.
Oh and it's also available on a huge intro price discount! Check it out here: /metal-bass-master/

12 years, 7 albums, 1 EP and a lot of liveshows. That is how one can describe the Aeon Zen career and everything it entails, but it is also a story about a project that grew from humble studio beginnings into something much bigger than the sum of it's parts.
In this big interview featurette, @richgrayaudio and @andikravljaca , talk to @tdwprog about the career of @aeonzen , the highs and lows and everything that happened during the bands' active years, going through each album release cycle and discussing the making of these albums and the adventures that came along with that.
This is a 3 part interview and the 2nd part will follow on monday the 15th of November!
Feel free to share this video with everyone!

It has been a mammoth journey to bring you this final Aeon Zen album and, before anything else, we would like to thank each and every one of you that has been along for the ride with us at any point of our story.
We have always said that the intention of this album is to go out with a bang! And with that in mind we have created a ๐๐+ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐๐จ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ, in collaboration with the hugely talented @tdwprog , to accompany the audio. This album and video, have been gigantic undertakings that have taken over a decade of writing, months and months of recording, editing, tweaking and everything in-between. We sincerely hope you enjoy it.
