NEWS: Aversed premier “Lucid Decapitation”!

A second single in “Lucid Decapitation” from the upcoming new album “Erasure of Color” from Boston Massachusetts Aversed presents a glimpse of hope and beauty on a backdrop of raging, mournful Gothic Extreme Metal. It follows “Cross To Bear” which exposed some Melodic Death Metal influences with a 21st March via M-Theory Audio set for it. Limited edition smoke coloured vinyl and cassette are available with pre-orders over at bandcamp.

Packaged with intriguing artwork from Adam Burke (Unto Others, Gatecreeper, Cloak) of Nightjar Illustration, and self-produced by guitarists Alden Marchand and Sungwoo Jeong with orchestrations composed and arranged by Vikram Shankar (Redemption, Silent Skies, Pain Of Salvation), the album is mixed by AJ Viana (Wormhole, Hath, Cognitive) and mastered by Brad Boatright (Code Orange, Obituary, 200 Stab Wounds) at Audiosiege.

Drummer Jeff Saltzman comments: “In 1905, French physician Dr. Jacques Beaurieux performed an experiment on prisoners condemned to die by guillotine. Immediately after his subjects were decapitated, he called out their names seeking to determine to what extent and for how long consciousness remained in their detached skulls. In ‘Lucid Decapitation,’ we explore the horrifying prospect of being subjected to such a test, and our world’s hunger for knowledge, regardless of the cost. What does it feel like to be a head, detached from your body? Can science ever be justified in performing such grisly experiments?”
