It follows on from Retaliation, a single which marked the start of a new era. 

In a statement, frontman Joel Holmqvist explained the track was the next chapter of the dark Aviana story. “This song is angry and honest. The first phrase in the lyrics saying ‘I am not stating a lie for you’ explains a lot. When you are in a relationship with someone, a friend, a relative or a loved one. You can’t do whatever pleases only you. You always have to be nice and think about the way you act towards others.  I guess that’s mainly what this song is about, someone being a total asshole and not seeing it,” he says.

Despite the success of their second record, Epicenter, almost all band members left the band in March 2020. Holmqvist was the only one to remain. The band states: “It’s with a heavy heart we let you know that Marcus, Nic and Sebastian have chosen to leave Aviana. It’s a decision that was made some time ago. As much as we have loved being in this band, creating and playing these songs live. Meeting all of you beautiful people on the road, all good things come to an end. And right now we want to focus on other things in life.”

Oblivion is available to stream now.
