In 2017, Black Metal band AVERSIO HUMANITATIS released a crushing EP. “Longing For The Untold” consists of four aggressive and heavy compositions, vividly combining atmospheric and dissonant soundscapes, thus achieving a unique vision of Extreme Metal.
“Longing For The Untold” is now seeing a re-release by Debemur Morti Productions on vinyl and available in two different editions. A 4-page 12″x12″ insert and a download card is included in both versions:
- classic black heavy vinyl
- ultra clear/white cloudy effect heavy vinyl (exclusive DMP edition – limited to 109 copies)
The audio was remastered for the best listening experience and it also comes with three rare bonus tracks which were, until now, solely available on the 2013-split with SELBST and NIHIL.
The re-release can be ordered via the label’s EU, US and Bandcamp shops and streamed in full on Bandcamp.
| Guitarist and composer S.D. remembers about “Longing For The Untold“: “The EP was originally intended to be an album, but the situation of the band was at that time a bit difficult. Each member was either living in a different country or had somewhat delicate personal issues to deal with. So, it was becoming really impossible to work on a full-length. To prevent the band being idle for several years, we decided to put in order what we had composed up to that point and release it as an EP. The lyrics of this work are full of allusions to personal experiences and must be understood like a journey in which one goes through a process of deep acceptance of pain. In those years I was trying to relativize and depersonalize some things that had happened to me so they wouldn’t destroy me. I was truly internalizing the idea that my life was not as important as I had believed it until then, and that was ok. And this is basically what is reflected both in the lyrics and the artwork of this record.“ |
The latest album, “Behold The Silent Dwellers“, was released in June 2020. AVERSIO HUMANITATIS are currently working in full force on its successor:
“We already have more than half an album finished. The new songs are really crushing, but some things can’t be rushed. So, there is still work to do. Let us hope we can have the album finished during next year.“
Since their conception in Madrid in 2010, AVERSIO HUMANITATIS have meticulously crafted their sound to build a colossal barrier of crushing rawness that explores the different ramifications of human existence and the irony of its destructive pursuit of perfection.
After the 2011 unveiling of their debut record “Abandonment Ritual“, AVERSIO HUMANITATIS took part in the split “Three Ways Of Consciousness” in 2013 alongside SELBST and NIHIL, as well as a split with PRIMIGENIUM in 2015, exploring harsh new levels of sonic depth with each release. 2017 saw the band unleash their landmark EP “Longing For The Untold“, further evolving and pushing the boundaries of their sound with savage dissonance and the inclusion of sepulchral Death Metal stylings while fluidly summating all that came before.
Coinciding with their tenth anniversary in 2020, AVERSIO HUMANITATIS delivered their second full-length album “Behold The Silent Dwellers“. Taking the sound of its antecessor EP to a more distressing and intricate sensory cosmos, “Behold the Silent Dwellers” serves as a walk through the ghostly remnants of abandoned cityscapes through a medium of unrelenting dissonant Black Metal. Breaking barriers and ascending higher with every subsequent release, AVERSIO HUMANITATIS is the audial manifestation of the war of man against himself.
