Bound To Blackness is AVELION’s New Single | Edgar Allan Poets
The epic and powerful sound of this band immediately intrigued me.
There is no doubt that we are faced with professionals from every point of view. The interpretative and performing qualities are masterful.
The refinement of the musical arrangements is incredible and the attention to every slightest nuance is maniacal.
The continuous rhythmic variations and the intricate melodic line makes this music a renaissance of creativity.
The bridge at minute 3.40 is simply exceptional. It made me feel in a pyramid where beautiful odalisques carried the heads of the enemies on silver trays. The Guitar solos added a kind of chaotic urgency that anticipates a battle.
This blend of elements takes the listener into a musical universe in equilibrium between horror and fantasy.
Honestly, there is not much to say AVELION are not here to joke. This band takes things seriously and I don’t think they will have any problems standing out among lovers of this musical genre.
Go and listen to them, it is worth it!
Bound To Blackness is AVELION’s New Single Out Now!
Epic and Solid!
Bound To Blackness is AVELION’s New Single | Edgar Allan Poets
AVELION have developed a gloriously turbulent sound that is uniquely their own. Hailing from Parma, Italy, the band have been tearing venues apart across Europe with their powerful fusion of genres since 2008.
In 2011 AVELION released the first studio work: the EP “Cold Embrace”. The following year the band started an intense live activity, leading to the great opportunity to play as opening act for Seventh Wonder (with Tommy Karevik, Kamelot).
In 2012 the band released the promotional single “Falling Down” which sees the collaboration with guitarist Olaf Thorsen (Labyrinth, Vision Divine) AVELION’s second EP, “Liquid Breathing”, was published in 2013. The EP delivers a more personal, modern and mature sound: melodic progressive metal mixed with djent influences, all combined with a strong electronic flavour. In 2015 the band entered Simone Mularoni’s Domination Studio (DGM) to record their first full length album: “Illusion of Transparency”, which was released via Revalve Records in 2017.
In March 2018 AVELION supported the legendary ANGRA in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Spain and Portugal. The dates also featured Geoff Tate’s Operation: Mindcrime as special guest.
In May 2018 the band released the single “Echoes and Fragments” REMIX featuring the Electro Metal artist The Algorithm.
Following a widespread approval from both critics and fans, the band kept playing live opening for Primal Fear, Lacuna Coil and Kiko Loureiro.
At the end of 2019 the band parted ways with the frontman William Verderi. Following the split, AVELION started composing new songs for their next musical chapters.
