Now, they have already finished their second album titled ‘The Negationist’ where darkness and hope merge in an introspective trip marked by the damage we are doing to our own planet and how this is affecting us severely. This album has been mixed and produced by Miquel A. Riutort (Mega) (The Unity, Cryptosy, The Agonist, Vltimas) at Psychosomatic Recording Studio and mastered by Dan Swano at Unisound Studios.

After recording several streaming for online platforms and festivals during the pandemic (Metal Injection, Grima Fest, etc,) Aeolian put all their effort in the continuous upgrade and recruit Pedro Martinez (Zerobyte, Taste My Sweet Revenge) replacing Alberto on drums and adding his extensive experience as a professional drummer, kick-starting the preparation of a third album to be tentatively release in 2022.
