We’re pleased to announce the signing of Chicago’s AVERNUS to M-Theory Audio. The atmospheric doom/death metal band are legends in our minds and armed with a solidified lineup and a crushing new album we intend to cement their legacy. Check out the quartet’s new music video for “Nemesis.“ The video is primed to support the release of the “Nemesis” digital single, which is now available for streaming/download on all digital platforms.
“’Nemesis’ is a song that reacts to the gross neglect and indifference towards that neglect of Earth. We have polluted to no end, and we continue making a mess of things wherever we are. In the end, the Earth has the last laugh, because she will survive humanity’s ravaging, while we will continue to bury our dead in the very mess we make, the rotten soil.
“Trying to capture the feel of the idea of the song, we knew that we would need the right videographer with the right set of skills to capture this correctly…enter Alex Zarek. We had a lot of fun making this video with Alex. Shot beautifully in a bit of a strange circumstance on location, Alex understood the direction of what we were going for and captured the correct shots.”
“Nemesis” is a long-awaited return for AVERNUS, as their last official recording was released 21 years ago while their sole official album release, ‘Of the Fallen’ goes back even further to 1997. Still when the core foundational members regrouped to create new music our curiosity and excitement grew and as you’ll hear with “Nemesis” this is the most mature, dismally emotional and best AVERNUS have ever sounded.
And “Nemesis” is just one song, albeit it almost 10 minutes long, from a forthcoming new album, ‘Grievances’ featuring 10 new compositions (an 11th song found on the 2LP vinyl set is a bonus re-recorded early demo song). And with today’s music video/single premiere we’re also launching the pre-order for that limited-edition (300) black ash colored vinyl pressing or CD at
‘Grievances’ will be in stores Sept. 20
