Norwegian blackgazers Avast whose debut full-length album, Mother Culture, is set to hit the streets on Dark Essence Records on the 26th October, have released a new single, "An Earnest Desire", from the album , as well as an accompanying video by Ivar Vasstveit.
The band commented: ""An Earnest Desire" is a tale about human ambition and how our desire to achieve great accomplishments often ends in catastrophe. The video emphasizes that ambition, and also shows how small and helpless we may appear in our interaction with nature and all of its forces."
Hailing from Stavanger, Norway, Avast consists of Hans Olaf Myrvang (Agenda) on bass and vocals, Trond Salte (Agenda) and Ørjan Lund (Nag) on guitars, and Stian Steensnæs (Lik) on drums. Together they fuse the aesthetics of black metal with the atmospherics of post-rock, in order to create a soundscape that is both breathtaking and mesmerizing, and whose lyrical themes are not centred around the usual black metal topics, but tend more towards a philosophical and poetical take on social and environmental issues.
