AUM ZORION is an instrumental post-metal outfit from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Two former members of 90ies Dutch death metal greats Sinister and Consolation, drummer Toep Duin and guitarist Robert van der Mijle, had been toying with the idea to abandon their death metal roots and do something completely different: an instrumental project to satisfy their interests in other genres of heavy music; post, doom, black, groove, sludge.

After guitarist Eelko-Jan Groenevelt joined in late 2022, they started writing music in early 2023.

Only nine months later, in October 2023, they enlisted Erwin Hermsen to record, mix and master their debut album at his Toneshed Recording Studios, renowned for its extreme metal productions. The album features intricately layered soundscapes, big heavy riffs interchanged with parts that are quiet and ethereal, as AUM ZORION tries to take you on an uninterrupted, 45-minute long trip.

AUM ZORION played their debut live show to rave reviews in a sold out Flux in Zaandam in April 2024, only to be thwarted immediately afterwards by their bass player leaving.

In August 2024, Marco Stolker, of Mutilated Bones fame (early Dutch metal/grindcore), joined AUM ZORION as its new bassplayer to complete the line-up.

AUM ZORION released their debut album on June 1st 2024.

AARDSCHOK MAGAZINE said that AUM ZORION plays ‘instrumental post-metal that is reminiscent of the polished hammer blows of Russian Circles, Isis and Amenra’, and awarded 78 points to ‘a promising debut’.

METALFROMNL said ‘it’s the perfect music to get lost in and drift away in a lucid dream before black and progressive metal influences jolt you back to reality’ and ‘the album is best enjoyed as a whole, with all tracks forming one big story’.

Since completing their line-up, AUM ZORION has been working on the production of their live show, which will see them perform their debut album in full, in its entirety, accompanied by a visual show of video and lights, to create an immersive experience taking the audience on a journey through this ‘one big story’.

Toep Duin – drums
Eelko-Jan Groenevelt – guitar

Marco Stolker – bass
