Swedish metal circus Avatar released their new single In The Airwaves on July 18th. Known for their theatrical and distinctive production, the band also serves up a music video produced in their own stylish way alongside the new single.
The band, which has achieved widespread international success throughout its career, is known for its ambition and desire to push boundaries. The band explains the background to their latest release as follows:
“Avatar is defined by the challenges we set for ourselves. We are always looking for new perspectives and constantly striving to go further. In this endless journey towards the next great realization, we return to one of the most important elements of metal music, which is speed,” the band comments and continues:
“This is the fastest song we have made in living memory and it feels good to press the gas again. In a way, this feels like a return to something essential. Enjoy our rage!”
On the tour front, Avatar is as usual in full swing, and the band has just announced a new month-long headline tour in North America for this year. In the summer, the band will start a tour supporting Iron Maiden. In February, the band will embark on their own European tour. Next year, Avatar will also perform at four Metallica shows in Germany, Hungary, Ireland and the UK. See all the show dates here.
