Avatar is back just in time for Halloween with a new single "So Sang The Hollow." It's not the heaviest song the band has released by a pretty wide margin, but it does hit the spot perfectly in terms of seasonally-appropriate creepiness.
"I think the song fits the season," vocalist Johannes Eckerström. "'So Sang the Hollow' lives between a dream and our waking nightmares. It's like a seance with ghosts of your own creation. It's one of those songs that was a very long time in the making, with the main guitar part having been kicked around since I entered the workforce."
"It also answers the question what Simon and Garfunkel would've sounded like if they grew up listening to Black Sabbath."
