AVATAR have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Dance Devil Dance, is the title track from the band’s upcoming new album, which is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Thirty Tigers.
Speaking about the new song, vocalist Johannes Eckerström says, “I woke up to the truth one day. With my heart pounding, and a heavy breath, I knew for sure. I am Satan. The snake and forbidden fruit with a longing for knowledge, freedom and agency. My feet were moving. I thought I was running, but I was dancing. A celebration. Yes, I am the Devil, and I believe that one day you can be the Devil too. It is my hope and ambition that this song will help you find your way there. As such, it’s a celebration of love, lust and democracy.”

The upcoming album was recorded in the Swedish wilderness, far away from all the perceived glamour of the big city and modern studios. Jay Ruston [ANTHRAX, MR. BUNGLE, CROBOT, STONE SOUR, AMON AMARTH, URIAH HEEP] returned as producer. He first worked with the band when he mixed Hail The Apocalypse, a role he reprised on Feathers & Flesh before taking the wheel as producer on Avatar Country and Hunter Gatherer. No extra personnel were wanted nor needed. They stayed together for a month, eating, sleeping, and breathing life into their new record, just the six of them.
Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “you always hear bands say, ‘this is our best album yet’. This is our best album yet. It is AVATAR at our most laser-focused, at our most razor sharp. There’s no BS, no extra fat. Every track is a weapon and has a purpose. It’s all in the title, as this album is our angriest, horniest, and most spiritual release, all at once. It’s a must-hear.”
Whilst the track list is yet to be revealed, you can view the artwork for the upcoming album below:
Dance Devil Dance is set for release on February 17th via Thirty Tigers. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
