From the darkest corners of Costa Rica come Aversion, a four-piece delivering a signature brand of morose, monolithic post-doom. Their debut album “Failed Attempts to Reach the Light” arrives November 15, 2024 on Cognitive Discordance Records, and brings with it a grandiose and grim statement of intent across five epic tracks.
Formed in Heredia, Costa Rica in 2021, the band mixes the heavy and slow elements from Doom with releasing melodies, as well as diversions to softer sections from its Post-Metal influences to deliver an immersive and introspective experience.
Their live debut came in August 2022, sharing the stage with local acts Astriferous, Candarian and Bloodsoaked Necrovoid. In February 2023, the band was selected as the opening act for the Finnish Melodic Death/Doom band Swallow the Sun, during their Moonflowers Latin America Tour 2023.
In the band’s own words:
“The album is a slow meditation on loss, regret and hope. The songs aim to achieve a massive sound, filled with soul-tearing vocals over aggressive and pounding growls. Large melodies that make you feel like you’re in a great, desolate hall, filled with dim lights and a sense of longing.“
Aversion are already at work on new music, and are in the midst of writing their sophomore album.
