Release New single 'Voices' from upcoming album 'The Fire I Long For'.
Watch the accompanying mystical visualiser video below:
Vocalist Jennie-Ann Smith comments on the track:
"This piece just felt completely natural to write, in all its heaviness it came down easily. Some awkward elements, super-heavy guitar riffs, an uber-brilliant organ solo by Rickard Nilsson and some absolutely mind-blowing drums by Andreas "Habo" Johansson. It is so AVATARIUM...Close your eyes...Just listen to the music..."
The new album sees the band return to their epic doom roots, while taking inspiration from rock legends like Rainbow and Dio.
Founded in 2012 by Leif Edling of CANDLEMASS, AVATARIUM soon saw the arrival of Marcus Jidell (producer CANDLEMASS) and Jennie-Ann Smith who brought an air of charisma with her soulful grace. By now, the band has become an entity on its own and while Leif still contributed three songs for the new album, the band’s current line-up consists of Marcus and Jennie-Ann, who are accompanied on this record by organist Rickard Nilsson and new drummer Andreas ‘Habo’ Johansson (THE DOOMSDAY KINGDOM). Together, this open-minded, yet doom-laden collective draws elements of folk, jazz and psychedelic brilliance into a grandiose amalgamation that manages to maintain an almost pop-like elegance.
