Greek avantgarde black metal act AENAON has inked a deal with Code666, a sublabel of Aural Music, for the release of the group's debut album, Cendres et Sang. The effort has been mastered by Tom Kvalsvoll at Strype Audio (EMPEROR, DHG, 1349) and is tentatively due in June.

Formed in 2005 and quickly amassing a solid fan-base with its breed of experimental and original black metal, Aenaon has released two EP’s (2009's Phenomenon and 2010's A Parallel Zoetrope).

Commented frontman and original member Astrous: "We were looking for a deal for this album following our split with Bleak Art records, and Code666 stepped up and laid out exactly what we wanted. We could not be happier. Code666 is an established label, home to many impressive and qualitive acts, specialized in the avant-garde black metal field, discovering bands such as Ephel Duath, Aborym, Negura Bunget, Diabolicum, Fen, Amesoeurs, The Axis Of Perdition… Code666 are in the fray to provide us with the support we need to release our album in the best way. Regarding our album, expect an essential music journey that crosses the black metal feeling with the experimental needs of free thinking musicians; Lyrical themes are reflecting the humanity as a whole and explores the labyrinth of psychotic disorders, the forms of life and death...."

Cendres et Sang (translating Ashes And Blood) was recorded between April of 2010 and the February of 2011 and took place in more than 5 studios, while the mastering of the album was done by Tom Kvalsvoll at Strype Audio in Norway, famous from his works with bands such as DHG, CODE, Emperor, 1349, VIRUS, KEEP OF KALESSIN, IHSAHN and many more.
