Aviana (stylized in all caps) is a Swedish metalcore and djent band based out of Gothenburg.

History

Aviana first formed in 2016 in Gothenburg, Sweden by five members; vocalist Marcus Vik, guitarist Marcus Heffler and Oscar Forsman, bassist Sebastian Colque, and drummer Niclas Bergström. The band released their first album, "Polarize", in 2017, and on that same year, singer Vik left the band and AVIANA welcomed in new singer and former Walking with Strangers frontman Joel Holmqvist. In 2019, the band signed with German record label Arising Empire and they released their second album titled "Epicenter". In 2020,shortly after the release of Epicenter, Heffler, Forsman, Colque, and Bergström decided to leave the band, leaving Holmqvist the sole member. Joel Holmqvist decided to continue as a solo act under the band name, rather than go for a complete disband. Holmqvist kept the project going and released an EP titled Overcome along with a music video in 2021. In 2022, three unnamed members joined AVIANA and wore masks to conceal their identity, the same year, they released their third album titled "Corporation". Holmqvist noted that the album was merely a collection of singles released overtime.

Aviana has performed in shows mostly throughout Europe and some abroad. In April of 2023, Aviana went on the Renormalization Tour in Australia with Earth Caller as the headliners and performed alongside Deadskin, APATE, and CABAL. In 2024, they performed in the Black Tour with two fellow Swedish bands, Imminence, who headlined the shows and Allt opening alongside Aviana. The tour started in May as they kicked it off in Amsterdam and concluded it in late December in Budapest. During that time period, they released a single with a music video titled "Father".
