Swedish metallers AVATAR — vocalist Johannes Eckerström, guitarists Jonas Jarlsby and Tim Öhrström, bassist Henrik Sandelin, and drummer John Alfredsson — have released a new standalone single "Crying Fire". Watch the official music video here.
"Crying Fire" is no throwaway B-side. This is AVATAR. The band intentionally withheld the track and decided to strike when the time was right. Fortunately for fans, that time is now.
Eckerström explains: "'Crying Fire' is very special to all of us. It was written and recorded as part of the 'Don't Go In The Forest' [album] sessions. When making the final selection for album tracks, this one was a given. But then we started asking ourselves something: 'What if we saved the best for later? What if we kept this gem away from the world for a while?'"
He continues, "It certainly stands tall on its own. I hear a relentless firestorm of emotions. It hits me in a deeply hidden place, and I hope it does the same for you. I could say a lot about what the song is about, but I’ve learned that sometimes it’s better to get out of the way and simply let it be heard for what it is. The best I can say today is that it's about enduring pain and loving passionately."
AVATAR released its tenth studio album, "Don't Go In The Forest", last October via Black Waltz Records. The follow-up to 2023's "Dance Devil Dance" was once again produced by Jay Ruston, who has previously worked with ANTHRAX, STEEL PANTHER and URIAH HEEP, among many others.
Ruston first worked with AVATAR when he mixed "Hail The Apocalypse", a role he reprised on "Feathers & Flesh" before taking the wheel as producer on "Avatar Country" and "Hunter Gatherer".
