According to the group, the reason for Nils Fjellström\'s departure is personal/private. In an issued update, the remaining band members state they don\'t want to reveal more info:

\"Nils has chosen not to speak out to the public about his decision to depart. We will respect his wish not to do so, and therefore we will not reveal any details nor answering questions about this. As you may know, this is not the first time Nils is out of the band, but it\'s most certainly the last. How strange this even may sound, I really think that we will be better off without him in the long run.\"

Aeon had one show planned ahead that was scheduled to take place October 16. The group asked Nils to do at least this show with his band before he left, but the drummer simply didn\'t agree to do so. Aeon:

\"This leaves us with no choice but to cancel our spot in this event. There is just to little time to rehearse a full headline set with a new session-drummer. Perhaps the promotor (Hårdrocksklubben) finds a new headliner for this evening or it will get canceled. (..) This statement will also serve as an launch for a new drummer.\"

So, if you are a drummer and think that you have what it takes to replace Nils in Aeon, don\'t hesitate to send the band an application with some audio/video of you playing drums. Please mark the subject with \'drummer application.\'

You don\'t really need to be able to play exactly every little detail Nils does on the albums. The most important is that you are able to play the basics in the songs and the rest can be worked out from there. The band members would prefer a drummer who lives in Sweden, but claim they are also open for drummers from abroad.
