Description

Limited 12 single with gatefold cover Avatarium has only been alive for about 8 months, but already is the word spreading rapidly about this unique band and its special blend of heavy adventurous music. Jethro Tull, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath, Rainbow… It’s all there together with some delicate moments of beauty and frailness that you rarely find in a band these days. In Avatariums music you will also hear tangents of pop and 60s influences. It all began last winter when Leif Edling needed help to demo a couple of songs he was working on, and Marcus offered to help. Weeks turned into months and a few songs became a full length album mixed by well-known Swedish engineer Ronny Lahti. This three single was released just prior to the album. It features two tracks from the album and an exclusive Black Sabbath cover. The daydreams of a little boy shapes the monumental Moonhorse that clocks in at about 9 minutes, and the song Boneflower, about a forest where lovers go when they commit suicide, will probably be the first single/video and the Black Sabbath cover War Pigs were the first lifesigns from Avatarium. The line-up of the band is Jennie-Ann Smith on vocals, Leif Edling from Krux and Candlemass on bass, keyboard work from Carl Westholm (Jupiter Society), Marcus Jidell (Evergrey/Royal Hunt) on guitar and Lars Skold from Tiamat on drums. Trust me this is something you don’t want to miss Track listing: 1. Moonhorse 2. Boneflower 3. War Pigs-Black Sabbath cover
