Avatar is continuing their ascent to metal esteem this Halloween with the release of Don’t Go In The Forest, the band’s 10th studio album. Described as “not just an album, it’s an invitation to step beyond the ordinary and into the strange,” Don’t Go In The Forest already displays Avatar’s tonal range with the four available tracks released thus far. In The Airwaves sounds like a textbook death metal song in some parts, but as always, they stand out from the genre’s noise by adding elements of power metal. With a very different sound on the surface, Tonight We Must Be Warriors feels like every line and note lifts the listener higher. 

If you weren’t one of the lucky few to attend the listening event in Göteborg, Sweden, you can still get early access this Friday, Oct 24th by being a “Citizen” of Avatar Country, the band’s immersive online community. Fans with Citizen accounts get early access to new music, bonus videos, exclusive merch, and ticket drops.

“Citizens of Avatar Country get exclusive access to this special event, listen to the album before anyone else with the unheard premiere of all ten tracks & premiere of the music video for your new favorite title track “Don’t Go In The Forest.”
