Swedish metal act Avatar are now streaming a chilling new video for the track "The Dirt I'm Buried In," from their forthcoming LP, Dance Devil Dance, out February 17 via Black Waltz Records and distributed by Thirty Tigers. You can pre-order the album here, and check the video out just above. All we can say is it features what looks like a vaudeville show and marsupial-like aliens (although they may just be human spies in masks. I'm not sure). Regardless, what I'm trying to say is it kicks ass and you should watch it now!
"Our new album is designed to make you move and to move you," said vocalist Johannes Eckerström. "We destroyed all doubt with [first single] 'Valley of Disease.' We blew the competition off the mountain with [second single] 'Dance Devil Dance.' Now the world is ours, and yours with us. The stage is set all that's left to do is give in and join the circus. This is 'The Dirt I'm Buried In.' You are welcome."
Avatar currently features Eckerström, guitarists Jonas Jarlsby and Tim Öhrström, bassist Henrik Sandelin, and drummer John Alfredsson. The band had a busy summer headlining shows across North America before heading down to Brazil to support Iron Maiden. Next up, a 2023 European and UK tour lined up starting next February with Veil Of Maya. You can check those dates out below.
