2023 2-CD reissue of the 2nd album originally released in 2001 by this veteran Argentine band. Widely regarded as one of the most important releases from AVERNAL's early years, "No Hope" showcased a clear evolution from the band's 1997 debut, incorporating stronger groove-oriented and Death 'n' Roll influences while still retaining its Death Metal foundations. This expanded edition significantly enhances the original release through the addition of demos, alternate versions and live recordings on the second disc.
Musically, the album preserves the heaviness and darkness that defined the band's early sound while embracing more accessible songwriting and a dynamic approach that foreshadowed later developments in their career. The influence of the Swedish scene remains highly noticeable through its crushing riffs, strong grooves and dark melodies, bringing to mind acts such as ENTOMBED, GRAVE and early GOREFEST. An essential release for understanding AVERNAL's transition from traditional Death Metal toward a more distinctive and personal style.
Recommended for fans of: ENTOMBED, GOREFEST, GRAVE, BLOODBATH.
