Unleashing a relentless fusion of Technical death metal, modern metal, with the precision guitar attack of progressive metal/Shoegaze, Avoidant was formed in Lima, Peru in the winter of 2010 after the idea and projection from the musicians Daniel Ramón Ibárcena Mollyk and Giancarlo Melgar Novoa whom met each other through a social network and also because of the genre relation between each one’s parallel bands. After having made contact through the social network, they decided to get together and begin to develop the Death Metal project.

After exchanging ideas and meet each other, they decided that the musician Daniel Yowad Ibárcena Mollyk from his brother’s same parallel band (Daniel Ramón Ibárcena Mollyk) join the “Avoidant” project. 
After some weeks of composition and having made two songs, the band’s genre was defined and they began to look for a second guitar player, an idea that was discarded because of the lack of people, so they maintained the idea of remaining with just one guitar player. Afterwards, they contacted Ichthyosis’ bass player, John Coronado, also known by the Ibárcena brothers.

Through constant interaction between the Ibárcena brothers and Giancarlo Melgar, the songs that will appear in their first Demo “Eye-solated Breed” were finished. 
Some months later, after a hard search, a 2nd guitar player for the band is found: Giomar Carrasco. 
Now, with the complete line-up, the composition of the songs for the EP will be finished, exploring further with progressive and technical sounds.

Beyond The Veil Of Enigma

Dimensional Passage (The Birth OF A New Empire)

Negative Acceleration (The Hypothetical Problem)

The Iconoclast Solution

We have just released a new EP, called “INVOLUTION”. We formed as a Death metal band and with this release our sound has drastically changed into a more progressive and modern style, combining genres that go from post-hardcore and deathcore, to shoegaze and progressive metal. This has helped us to achieve our own sound, differentiating us of all the bands in our scene.

All the production of Involution has been done by us. The band made everything in terms of artwork, recording sessions, pre-production and promotion, in only two weeks.

LYRICS:

In every shadow and ray of light, I'm there watching.
Underneath the flames and the human History,
It will rise a new legion of conquerors, moved by the power of justice and wisdom.

I've been here before the profecy
I'll be here until the end

I've been here before the human race, I'm a silent witness.

Prison is in the mind. It's locked in one world that's dead and dying or it's open to a world that's free and alive. (Charles Manson's voice)

The fallen heroes, those who found something to die for, in the sake of freedom.
God of war, the changin of times belongs to their hands. Gods of destruction.
I've been here before the human race.

For so long, waiting for actions in vain. For so long, waiting for silence to be heard.

(The enemy it’s inside of us)
In every weapon, in every war, in every lie
Kings of nothing
Our Autonomy, Consumes the remains of tolerance
Written in the deeds of our own history

They spoke our names, we gave them our fears
“They fight for us”, one question
What we are fighting for?
One question
What the fuck we are doing?

(Nobody questions anything)
Nobody questions anything
Silence…

Enslaved Human Cattle
Searching for Chaos
Searching for Destruction
That’s the human condition
Enslaved human cattle

Human, Measured by the price
Of their own flesh
Controlled by beasts and machines.
Autophagia
How do we let this happen?
When will It end?

We have destroyed the bridge (Destroy)
Between wisdom and ethics (wisdom)
The human nature (nature)
A self-destructive philosophy
Neo-slave, Breath from your coma
Neo-slave, Open your eyes
Wake up! You motherfucker!
Wake up! Open your Eyes!
Before this end.

Transfiguration of the mind and body
Your flesh will be the sacrificeto the wolves
Depravity, in the eyes of the conquers of humanity.
They are not fucking humans, they don’tbleed,
They only feed a bestial hunger of power

Animals. With a crown. Savageskings

We. We are onlynumbers
We. We are nothingtothem
We are the flesh for this sacrifice

Animals. Fighting in vain
Fighting for something that don’t belong to us

This world don’t belong to us.

LYRIC:

An endless cycle of suffering, dying to live. Day by day
Trasspasing beyond the limits of tolerance. The Earth: the cage of enslaved spirits.
Imperfection, is the irrefutable sign of this evil god.

This is the agony of becoming human, we are more closer to the model of the archetype.

Illumination, chaos, revolution.
Time to recover our territory, once again.
Time to destroy the archetype, for the sake of evolution.

There's always someone behind the shadow of your god
Human hand creating imaginary idols. This is the annihilation of reason.
Somewhere back in time, back to the golde age of terror.

We have a gallery of unsealed wounds, revenge will be the only way to cal m this universal hate, revenge will be the only solution for the unjustified murder of history and science.

And time has come, for the unwavering uprising from from this impure mass hypnosis.

Every trace of your cult, and every step made in our territory will be erased by this vortex of illumination and hate.

This is the agony of becoming human, we are more closer to the model of the archetype.

Español / Spanish

Desatando una implacable fusión de Death metal y metal moderno, con el ataque y precisión de la guitarra en el metal progresivo/Shoegaze, Avoidant fue formada en Lima, Perú, en el invierno del 2010, con la idea y proyección de los músicos Daniel Ramón Ibárcena Mollyk y Giancarlo Melgar Novoa que se conocieron a través de una red social, y también por la relación en género de las bandas paralelas de cada uno. Luego de haberse contactado por medio de la red social, decidieron quedar para juntarse y comenzar a desarrollar el proyecto de Death Metal.

Después de intercambiar ideas y conocerse, deciden que el músico baterista Daniel Yowad Ibárcena Mollyk, de la misma banda paralela de su hermano (Daniel Ramón Ibárcena Mollyk), se una al proyecto “Avoidant”.

Al pasar algunas semanas componiendo un par de temas, se llegó a definir el estilo de la banda y pasaron a convocar a un segundo guitarrista, pero por falta de contactos, se mantuvo la idea de permanecer con una sola guitarra. Luego surgió la idea de convocar al bajista de la banda Ichthyosis (ahora Decorpsed), John Coronado, también conocido por los hermanos Ibárcena.

Mediante la constante interacción entre los hermanos Ibárcena y Giancarlo Melgar, se concluye con los temas que irán en su Demo debut nombrado “Eye-Solated Breed” (2011).
Meses después, tras una ardua búsqueda, se logra encontrar un 2do guitarrista para la banda: Giomar Carrasco. 

La banda logra lanzar el demo con buena acogida y luego de unos meses deciden que es hora de nuevo material. Desafortunadamente y por motivos personales, John Coronado deja la banda y deciden convocar por algunas referencias a Andres Rodas Arce, quien quedaría como el nuevo bajista oficial de la banda, formando así la alineación actual de Avoidant.

La nueva fase de composición y todo el proceso de grabación fueron muy similares a su anterior trabajo. Es así que a principios de Julio del 2012, la banda lanza un EP de cuatro temas titulado “Morphology”. Un trabajo que muestra la evolución de la banda en búsqueda de sonidos más progresivos pero manteniendo toda la destreza que caracteriza su Death metal.

Actualmente la banda se encuentra promocionando su primer video-clip del tema “A Catalyst for Destruction” y también componiendo temas totalmente nuevos para su álbum debut.

The band get to release the demo with good reception and whitin a few months they decide it's time for new material. Unfortunately and for personal reasons, John Coronado left the band and they decide to call for some references to Andres Rodas Arce, who would stay as the new official bassist of the band, forming the current lineup of Avoidant.

The new phase of composition and the whole process of recording was very similar to his previous work. Thus, in early July 2012, the band released a four-track EP entitled "Morphology". A record that shows the evolution of the band in search of more progressive sounds but keeping all the skill that characterizes his Death metal.

Currently the band is promoting his first video clip for the song "A Catalyst for Destruction" and also composing new tracks for the debut album.
