Now, they have released 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. The album has been mixed and produced by Miquel A. Riutort (Mega) at Psychosomatic Recording Studio and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios. The cover artwork has been created by Juanjo Castellano Rosado (The Black Dahlia Murder, Gates of Ishtar, Trident).

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.
