Swedish black metal band AVSLUT have entered a new chapter in their career, signing a deal with Season of Mist. Seven years after the release of their last studio album, "Tyranni", the band are now working on a new full-length, with further details expected to be announced in due course.

Founded in Stockholm in 2016 by Christian Jönsson Baad (vocals) and Oscar Krumlinde (drums) as a studio project, AVSLUT initially had no plans to perform live. Their music combines traditional Scandinavian black metal with melodic riffing, occasionally incorporating gothic influences. Their Swedish-language lyrics explore bleak, misanthropic themes centred on human nature.

The band's four-track debut EP, "Vanskapt", was mixed and mastered by MARDUK's Magnus “Devo” Andersson. The release paved the way for a deal with Osmose Productions, through which AVSLUT released their debut album, "Deceptis", in 2018, followed by "Tyranni" in 2019. In between the two full-lengths, the band also released the "Förslavad" EP in May 2019.

What began as a studio project gradually evolved into a full-fledged band with the addition of guitarists Eddie Lindgren and Simon Olovsson. Elias Niemi replaced Dennis Holm in 2024. Over the years, AVSLUT have shared the stage with WATAIN, DARK FUNERAL and MARDUK, while also performing at Sweden Rock Festival and Tons of Rock in 2024. The band have additionally opened for LANDMVRKS and SKINDRED.

Describing their deal with Season of Mist as a significant milestone coinciding with the tenth anniversary of their formation, AVSLUT also addressed the lengthy process behind their upcoming album. Rather than rush things, the band explained that they would prefer to deliver a record that remains as faithful as possible to their own musical vision. They also expressed their eagerness to finally share the new album with listeners.
