Aviana (stylised in all caps) are a Swedish metalcore and djent band from Gothenburg. [1] [2]
Aviana formed in 2016 with vocalist Marcus Vik, guitarists Marcus Heffler and Oscar Forsman, bassist Sebastian Colque and drummer Niclas Bergström. Debut album Polarize followed in 2017. Later that year Vik departed and former Walking with Strangers frontman Joel Holmqvist took over vocals.
The quintet signed to German label Arising Empire and issued second album Epicenter in August 2019, earning a positive print review in Metal Hammer. [3]
In 2020, shortly after Epicenter, Heffler, Forsman, Colque and Bergström all exited, leaving Holmqvist the sole official member. He continued under the Aviana name, releasing the standalone EP Overcome in November 2021. [4]
During 2022 Holmqvist introduced three masked live musicians—known only as Death, Fear and Dark—issued a run of digital singles and compiled them as the third album Corporation (September 2022). [5]
