History
Formation and Bleeding the False (1999–2005)
Aeon was formed in the Swedish town of Östersund in 1999 by vocalist Tommy Dahlström, guitarists Sebastian Nilsson and Morgan Nordbakk, bassist Johan Hjelm, and drummer Arttu Malkki of the then-newly broken up band Defaced Creation, in order to play more modern death metal. They recorded a demo that year including the songs "Return of Apolluon", "Eternal Hate", "With Blood they Pay", "The Awakening", "Bloodlust" and "Hell Unleashed".
In 2001, Aeon released Dark Order EP, with the same track list as the demo, via Necropolis Records. That year, Nordbakk was replaced with Daniel Dlimi, who started to contribute as a songwriter. In 2002, after Malkki left the band, Nils Fjellström joined Aeon and they started to work on a studio album, which was recorded from October 2003 to February 2004 and released in September 2005 under the title Bleeding the False through Unique Leader record label.
