NOTES:
NUL. is set to release their anticipated third album, AVA, on October 25th (2024), marking a pivotal moment in the band’s evolution. The album title itself is a subtle reflection of the band’s journey, with AVA consisting of three letters, mirroring both the trio of band members and this being their third major release. This sense of symmetry seems to be a recurring theme, not only in the title but also in the striking artwork accompanying the album, which prominently features a triangle. The triangle, often considered a symbol of strength, stability, and balance, is a key element in the visual identity of AVA. Its three sides can be interpreted in several ways: as a representation of balance between mind, body, and soul, or perhaps a metaphor for life, death, and rebirth. It’s fitting that, in the context of the album’s title, AVA can symbolize an apex—the peak of a journey. The term, AVA as a name holds its own significance. It is a feminine name in many cultures, often associated with life or renewal. When juxtaposed with the triangle, which is sometimes seen as a masculine symbol, the artwork could be hinting at a balance between opposing forces, a theme that NUL. explored visually in their previous album EVILA, where contrasting warm red and cold blue tones played with the idea of duality. This interplay between opposites—masculine and feminine, life and death, warmth and cold—might suggest that AVA continues to delve into complex themes of harmony and conflict.
