Premiere: AEON NEXUS Final Girl
AEON NEXUS Release Final Girl Single and Film Clip
DELICIOUSLY MACABRE
Brisbane progressive metalcore juggernaut Aeon Nexus returns in full force with their deliciously macabre new 3-track Final Girl EP, beginning with the release of the titular single on August 21st 2026, followed by the full EP drop on September 4th. The EP marks the quartet’s first release featuring guitarist Jordan Gray and drummer Jesse Nikolic, who were welcomed to the band in 2025
AEON NEXUS reprised their collaboration with videographer Seabass Snaps to bring the ambitious vision of Final Girl to life through cinema. Filmed on set at horror maze and alternative arts space EvilCorp Haunted Attractions, the Final Girl music video is a gruesomely entertaining spectacle that pays tongue-in-cheek tribute to 1980s slasher films while making a bold feminist statement. The video narrative follows the abduction of an “innocent” bride and her two companions by a sadistic serial killer, and the trio’s desperate attempts to escape through the killer’s halls of horrors. Ending with the bride as the sole survivor, the video critically examines the “final girl” trope in horror films, inviting the viewer to explore important but unsettling questions around the fetishisation of female pain and victimisation in true crime and horror.
AEON NEXUS will be celebrating the launch of the Final Girl single on the day of release, Friday August 21st, with a launch show at Banshees Bar & Artspace supported by KillPill and The Graveyard Club.
