Pre-orders for Corporation available soon.

On the new single, vocalist Joel Holqvist explains:

"Being in a state where you’re trapped in self-medication is hard to get out of. It feels like there’s nothing else that can help you besides the substances you abuse, as you're being drawn to like-minded people who keep dragging you down the rabbit hole. I wrote this song to lift that subject and help others that have experienced the same thing. Once you are in that spiral that keeps going down and feels like a bad dream, it feels like a paradox."

AVIANA made a big impact on the global metalcore scene with their return in February 2021. Led solely by vocalist Joel Holmqvist as a consequence of past members leaving the band, Holmqvist has exceed all expectations and taken the band further down the path for greatness.

One of the band's previous singles, 'Obsession', released in January made it into the headlines, placing the band at the number one spot on Spotify's biggest Metalcore playlist New Core and later on also featured on the Top Of The Core playlist on the same platform. Being picked up by all major digital streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Amazon Music, Youtube Music and Deezer affirms the band as one of the most important in their scene.

'Paradox' follows previous singles 'Anomaly', 'Obsession', 'Transcendent', 'Rage', 'Oblivion', 'Overcome' and 'Retaliation'.

Speaking on the album, Holmqvist concludes:

"There is an album coming in September, finally. But I never wanted to have people sit around and wait for new AVIANA music. Instead I’ve been working continuously to try and get new stuff out there for the fans. You should consider this album more of an ‘Collection of Singles’ rather than something else. There will be new songs on the album which haven’t been released yet, but also songs that we’ve already put out since 2021 will be on the album.”
