About
Averted is set to release their latest single "Reflection" on June 22nd 2023.
The proggy metalcore band from all around the UK has returned to self-production and once again teamed up with producer Jack Stephens to bring their newest creation to life. With the upcoming release, Averted promises to deliver their signature blend of catchy melodies and chunky guitar riffs.
"Reflection" is a powerful and introspective song that delves deep into the human psyche, exploring the turmoil of inner conflict and the struggle to find meaning in challenges.
It acknowledges that the path of life is unpredictable and the feeling of being unprepared, but it also highlights the strength developed with each trial, a visceral determination to survive and a fearlessness in facing the unknown.
The artwork inspired by the lyrics features two original oil paintings by Laura Belso, and the release will also include a music video directed by Anthony Dubois.
