Swedish Metal giants Avatar have shared two new singles on the even of what promises to be an epic run of tour dates in North America. The band has released “Going Hunting” and “Barren Cloth Mother” to all DSPs, and has a video for each song too, The band also announced their signing with Nashville label/distro Thirty Tigers and the co-launches of its own Black Waltz Records label. Check out the new tracks now!
The band has also announced its signing with a new label. They are now part of the Thirty Tigers roster and have launched their own Black Waltz Records imprint.
“Since the early ’60s, Swedish children have grown up reading Lee Falk’s The Phantom,” the band says. “According to legend, The Phantom has the strength of 10 tigers. Thus, Avatar now has the strength of three Phantoms and are therefore finally unstoppable. Thirty Tigers are innovators and we are very excited to have signed with them. It’s good to work with such forward thinking people who truly understand what it means to be an artist in this millennium.”
Avatar continue, “This calls for a celebration, so to commemorate this occasion, and the tour we’re just about to embark on, we’ve chosen to tear up some eardrums with ‘Going Hunting’ and ‘Barren Cloth Mother.’ Both songs tell about inner and outer darkness in their own ways. We keep sailing over dark oceans, staring down into the abyss. These songs, as great as they are, are just a taste of what’s yet to come.”
