About this Event

“Aonia” is the place near Helicon mountain where the muses dwell. While this image sounds serene, the band’s sound is the polar opposite. Driving, almost thrashy riffs juxtapose against melodic, almost operatic vocals from ‘sopranos with balls’ for a sound that is a blending of the very old and the very new, tempered steel in a velvet glove.



Building on their successes as 2012 Bloodstock Metal to the Masses finalists, Aonia are currently gigging regularly, securing support slots at more well-known venues and in more high profile festivals. For example, the band has played ‘Metal Rites Festival’, ‘Martin Walkyier’s Viking Funeral’, the Reslolution hotel during ‘Whitby Goth Weekend’, and ‘Warhorns Winter Festival’. The band provided main support at Dovestock and headlined the Fringe stage of the Doncaster Live Festival. Most recently, they supported Canadian power metallers and Bloodstock veterans Kobra and the Lotus at the Corporation in Sheffield. Looking to the future, the band is set to support Sirenia at the 2015 Dames of Darkness festival and has booked their first O2 Academy show in Sheffield.
