Swedish Metallers of the highest order AVATAR vocalist Johannes Eckerström (vocals), guitarists Jonas Jarlsby and Tim Öhrström, bassist Henrik Sandelin, and drummer John Alfredsson – share another new song. ‘Construction of Souls.’ (Avatar‘s version of a Christmas song)!
“This song will be to Christmas songs what Die Hard is to Christmas movies,” the band says. “It wasn’t intended to be that, but ultimately, it makes a lot of sense. It’s about us — meaning the robots taking over the great human project of our ancestors, building our way out of the planet on sandy soils, saturated with the withering bones of our ancestors.”
The track is being released together with a children’s book portraying the ‘not-very child-friendly everyday life’ in Santa’s workshop in the parallel universe of Avatar. The book will be available on Sunday, November 28. Get it HERE.
AVATAR who are known to smash the boundaries between band, theater troupe, and cinematic masterminds with a series of celebrated albums and videos, not forgetting the immersive world of Avatar Country, a fantastical land where metal rules supreme, released three new songs. AVATAR also previously announced their signing to Thirty Tigers and have launched their own Black Waltz Records imprint.
The Band will return to the road in early 2022. Dates for the rescheduled U.S. tour run and full European trek are below.
