New single - Avatarium "Long Black Waves"
The Swedish doom frontiers announce their new album with latest single.
July 12, 2024
Swedish doom and hard rock collective, Avatarium, has finally revealed the first details about their forthcoming studio album, entitled Between You, God, the Devil and The Dead!
A first single, the album opening track "Long Black Waves" – combining gloomy hard rock with heavy doom metal accents – is now premiering.
Avatarium guitarist Marcus Jidell states: "The first song is a heavy, doomy dark gospel named "Long Black Waves". It's a homage to bands like Led Zeppelin, Mountain and Black Sabbath. And as always we try to find our own twist on things to get the good ol' Avatarium vibe going."
Following the much-acclaimed record release, lauded by fans and music press worldwide and numerous live appearances at prestigious festivals or on tour with acts such as Swallow The Sun, early 2025 will see the Swedish doom maestros even double down on all expections. Their forthcoming studio offering, Between You, God, The Devil and The Dead, featuring eight new enthralling tracks, showcases the band's exceptional songwriting skills and qualities.
Avatarium have evolved since their 2013 self-titled debut, and although they have always introduced new elements along the way, with their epic fusion of a doom-ladden occult sound and dark, heavy yet melancholic, poetic facets, the Swedish collective fronted by extraordinary vocalist Jennie-Ann Smith proves, why they belong to one of the most unique acts the modern heavy music scene has to offer.
"18 months ago we decided to make another album and now it's (finally) written, recorded and mixed!“ Jidell says. "At one point I thought we would never be able to finish it but here we are now! This album has the doom, the old school heavy metal riffs, the acoustic numbers and the classic dark gospel of Avatarium. I am very proud of what we have achieved and if this is our last album, we'll definitely end with a bang!"
