AVERNUS - Return To Dust (Official Lyric Video)

Second Single/Video From AVERNUS' Forthcoming Anticipated New Album ‘Grievances’ - out 9/20
“’Return To Dust’ reflects on getting older and the inevitability, and acceptance of death,” explains guitarist Erik Kikke. “Coming to terms with the end of everything as we know it, and trying to find comfort and solace in that thought.”
“Rafael Ortega of Ecliptic Visions was able to create a visualizer that fit perfectly with a bleak and foreboding visual aesthetic.”
“Return to Dust” comes from the anticipated new AVERNUS album ‘Grievances,’ which will be in stores and online Sept 20th. ‘Grievances’ comes in a 2LP limited (300) colored vinyl pressing (with a bonus track) or the 10-song Digipak CD pressing. Pre-Order now at lnk.to/avernus

‘Grievances’ is a long-awaited return for AVERNUS, as their last recording was released 21 years ago while their sole official album release, ‘Of the Fallen,’ going back to 1997. When the core foundational members (vocalist/guitarist Rick McCoy, guitarist Erik Kikke, guitarist James Genenz and drummer Rick Yifrach) regrouped to create new music our curiosity and excitement grew and as you’ll hear why this is the most mature, dismally emotional and best AVERNUS have ever sounded.
Established in 1992 in Chicago, AVERNUS were one of the premiere bands mixing death metal with doom elements as evidenced by early demos over the next couple years -- ‘A Tracery of Red’ featuring singer Rick McCoy and drummer Rick Yifrach and fan-favorite ‘Sadness,’ which added guitarist Erik Kikke to the lineup. In addition to becoming a live staple of Midwest shows and fests, a rippling effect began throughout underground circles. In 1994 AVERNUS’ reputation caught the attention of now-current M-Theory Audio president Marco Barbieri. At the time Marco worked at Metal Blade Records and included the band’s track “Godlessness” on ‘Metal Massacre XII’ in 1995. The song showed the beginnings of the group reaching for more melodic and gothic tendencies. Marco urged Metal Blade to sign the group but there just wasn’t enough enthusiasm from above. Instead, the group signed to M.I.A. Records (Darkest Hour, Oppressor, Spirit Caravan) and released their ‘Of the Fallen’ album in 1997. The same year guitarist James Genenz (later of Fleshgrind, Jungle Rot) joined the ranks. AVERNUS didn’t make the breakthrough evidenced by their early talents and hard work. Recording a couple more demos the band wallowed in obscurity in the 2000s despite the efforts of remaining constant member, founder Rick McCoy. AVERNUS slowly crumbled away.
But things never truly die and nostalgia for the group was urged by fans and even band members and slowly the pieces were assembled and new music written culminating in the forthcoming full-length album. By far the most cohesive and powerful recording assembled by a more experienced and yet calmer heads to create truly a masterwork.
