I've read and heard quite a bit about Aeon, but I can't say I've heard much of their music prior to receiving Bleeding the False. Style wise the Swedes seem to be heavily influenced by Deicide, but saying the band sound like Deicide would be unjust. Aeon doesn't vary their tempo a whole lot as it's almost entirely played at full throttle. It gets a little one-tracked in the long run. The songs aren't that varied, but the anti-Christian words sung plenty make up for this. The small interludes that occasionally appear between the songs add a lot to the overall feel of the album. As far as I can tell "Hell Unleashed" is the only repetition from the debut MCD Dark Order, but whether it's been reworked or not is impossible for me to judge.

Bleeding the False may not differ from so much else, nevertheless it's still a modest and quite enjoyable effort that easily can stand many listens without get worn out. A thing however that I dislike is the drums and the exaggerated use of triggers. It's a little too apparent and makes it sound a bit too sterile and artificial, but this being said I still think there's some top-notch death metal on Bleeding the False. The alternative country version [yes you read it right!] of "God Gives Head in Heaven" is freaking hilarious and almost alone worth the purchase.
