Band Information

Rise of Avernus is a progressive doom band formed in 2011 by Cat Guirguis of Black Horizon and Ben Vanvollenhoven (Stodowa) as a recording project. The three-track EP was recorded and released in early 2012, after which the rest of the band was recruited for live work. During 2012 the band toured as far afield as Darwin, opened for Apocalyptica in Sydney and appeared at the Sydney leg of the Whiplash Festival in October. A second album was since released in November 2013 and the band toured Australia with Enslaved in November 2013 followed by shows with Hypno5e. In April 2014 the band opened for Kylesa at some shows on their tour.
