Aversions Crown Inks Record Deal With Nuclear Blast

Six-headed death machine Aversions Crown has signed a worldwide deal with Nuclear Blast Entertainment for the release of "Tyrant."

Formed in 2010 in Queensland’s Brisbane, Aversions Crown developed a pummeling blend of mechanized brutality and haunting atmospherics by utilizing three guitarists brandishing 8-string guitars.

"Tyrant," the follow-up to the band’s 2011 debut "Servitude," was created in the oppressive heat of Brisbane’s summer with Thy Art Is Murder'ss Andy Marsh producing and Mark Lewis of Audio Hammer mixing.

With a thematic fixation on dystopian nightmares and hostile extraterrestrial encounters, the relentless barrage Aversions Crown churns out across these ten songs will soundtrack either a solid Halo session or a coming invasion. The striking artwork was created by Pär Olofsson.

Commented guitarist Chris Cougan on the band’s union with Nuclear Blast Entertainment: “A nuclear blast is pretty much what happened to my mind when I found out the label was interested in Aversions Crown. Nuclear Blast are the pinnacle of metal labels. We couldn’t be more stoked.”

The late 2014 impact of "Tyrant" will follow the viral success of the album’s first video "Hollow Planet," which was originally self-released as a stand-alone single and can be seen below.
