Averse create progressive music with its roots as much in atmospheric and avant-garde rock music from the 70's (from King Crimson to Tim Buckley) as in bands from the current metal area (from Opeth or Emperor to Neurosis or Borknagar).

Formed in Lille, France, 2002 by guitarist/composer/vocalist Tim Fromont and drummer brother Colin, the line-up went from strength to strength with the addition of bassist Thomas and guitarist/backing vocalist François in 2006. The band also invites guest-musicians in concert and studio, such as long-term guest violinist Huang-Jun, who lent arrangements both on stage and in the making of the self produced concept E.P. 'Scolopendrium Perception Haze'. The band also plays with video screenings directed and edited by Tim.

Their debut album 'The Endesque Chants' cuts a bold path through different musical genres, floating seamlessly from modern acoustic jazz-folk to dark progressive metal whilst still retaining an overwhelming sense of oneness.

Movement is enhanced by the addition of clarinet, harp and violin.
