Official: Season of MistSigning
The Stockholm band’s first album since Tyranni in 2019 now has a home; details are still to come.
The story
Avslut, the Stockholm black metal band whose name translates as “Ending”, have signed with Season of Mist. The label says details of the new album will be announced later. It will be the band’s first full-length since Tyranni, released in 2019.
Avslut began in 2016 as a studio project of vocalist Christian Jönsson Baad and drummer Oscar Krumlinde before guitarists Eddie Lindgren and Simon Olovsson joined; Elias Niemi took over bass in 2024. Their debut EP Vanskapt was mixed and mastered by Magnus “Devo” Andersson of Marduk and led to a deal with Osmose Productions, which released Deceptis (2018), Tyranni and the Förslavad EP. The band have shared stages with Watain, Dark Funeral and Marduk and sing in Swedish.

We would not do anything with unnecessary haste.

Our take
Seven years between albums is long in black metal terms, and the band address it directly: the wait was a choice, not a stall. Moving from Osmose to Season of Mist is a step up in reach. Osmose is a respected cult label; Season of Mist brings wider distribution, a bigger press operation and festival relationships that usually follow a signing like this.
The pedigree is solid. A Devo Andersson connection and support slots with Watain, Dark Funeral and Marduk place Avslut firmly in the melodic, traditional Swedish lineage rather than the experimental end. Until a title, date and first single appear, this is one to follow rather than act on.
Bottom line
For fans of Dark Funeral, Marduk and melodic Swedish black metal. Nothing to buy yet; follow the label for the album announcement and revisit Tyranni in the meantime.
