Gold vinyl. Limited 300 copies

Avatarium have no musical boundaries and that plays a vital part in ensuring they have a signature sound. 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. Their 2019 album The Fire I Long For showcases the essence of a band who has found its signature sound, no matter what happens. Slightly developing, step by step on every release, The Fire I Long For includes nine genuine songs of exceptional purity. This fire they are yearning for is reflected in every single song on this album. Starting with the chunky sound of bombastic opener Voices, Avatarium also offers intimate beauty, represented by Rubicon and the relaxed, sensitive Lay Me Down with its smooth Americana feel. The wealth of variation on the Swede’s fourth statement is enriched with the doom-rooted heaviness of Porcelain Skull and Epitaph Of Heroes, which the band describes as a rather idiosyncratic Avatarium song. The record is topped off with the bare intensity of the jazz-inspired piano ballad Stars They Move, bringing The Fire I Long For to close.
