Holmqvist comments on the new single:

“This song is angry, and honest. The first phrase in the lyrics saying “I am not stating a lie for you” explains a lot. When you are in a relationship with someone, a friend, a relative or a loved one. You can’t do whatever pleases only you. You always have to be nice and think about the way you act towards others. I guess that’s mainly what this song is about, someone being a total asshole and not seeing it.”

Last year many people experienced dark times and suffered great loss. Joel Holmqvist, vocalist of Swedish metalcore act Aviana, was one of those people. Despite the successful release of their sophomore album Epicenter via Arising Empire in 2019, all his former bandmates declared they were leaving Aviana in March 2020.

However, Holmqvist quickly realised that he was not done with Aviana and decided to continue with the project himself. Throughout the pandemic, he has gathered strength to build something new and special – the next chapter of Aviana.

“I was in a dark place for a long time when my former bandmates decided to leave the band. It was hard! I think this song as a start reflects all those feelings and thoughts that I had to fight during that difficult time,” he explains.

Aviana’s new sound is heavier than ever before and offers a taste of what’s to come, Holmqvist assures.“I’m building this up with the new Aviana now. There’s a new chapter, a new story and a new era coming!” he concludes.
