...in March 2026!
AVATAR, Alien Weaponry – A Night To Be Torn Apart – 10. 3. 2026 – ZLÍN, Datart Hall
Swedes AVATAR are deeply immersed in the creation of their tenth studio album, the follow-up to the successful album “Dance Devil Dance”. The new album is once again produced by Jay Ruston – known for his work with Anthrax, Steel Panther and Uriah Heep and is expected to arrive at the end of 2025. This will be followed by a spectacular tour with the sufficiently eloquent name “A Night To Be Torn Apart”, which will hit ZLÍN, Datart Sports Hall in the spring, on March 10th, 2026!
Ticket sales for this sensational metal party will start this Friday, 25. 4. 2025 at 10:00!
The band's frontman, Johannes Eckerström, has already offered a fairly detailed, introspective look at the anticipated new album and its creation: "For me, it actually started back in August 2023, when I was already thinking a lot about the new album. Something was done at the end of the summer, then something around December and January. Then we toured a lot again. A few things can happen on tour, some really important songwriting stuff, but not a lot. A lot of things mean you can sit at home and work in peace and end up failing."
When it comes to the album's lyrical themes, Eckerström has noted a shift away from the conscious mind and a deeper dive into surreal, dreamy territory. "It seems like dreams have influenced this album a lot more than in the past. Somehow these subconscious thoughts have made their way out," Johannes explained.
Fans can also expect some experimentation. More progressive and melodic parts. AVATAR is always looking for new methods, approaches, ideas, but all together it has to be mainly fun, a lot of energy and the beloved drive of heavy metal! So, next spring will be ZLÍN awaken by a grandiose metal circus from the famous kings AVATAR, whose metal kingdom is still open to you, just enter!
