Архив новостей | Русская версия
Swedish metallers AVATAR have announced a monumental evening of music, pipe organs, dancers and theatrics at London's historic Royal Albert Hall on March 30, 2027. The band will present "10 Years Of Feathers & Flesh", a one-night-only performance celebrating the tenth anniversary of their landmark concept album "Feathers & Flesh".
"'Feathers & Flesh' changed the entire trajectory of how we work," explains AVATAR vocalist Johannes Eckerström. "Once you've started to think of the big picture in your work, you can't put that genie back in the bottle. We've done all kinds of albums since then, and we will continue to do whatever the muses tell us to do. The thing they have in common, whether they're comedy concept albums or satanic sock hops, is that we view them as paintings. They are cohesive pieces of work with a point."
Following the acclaim of their latest studio album, "Don't Go In The Forest", a triumphant summer supporting METALLICA across Europe on the "M72" world tour and a blistering run of headline shows across the world on their "Don't Go In The Forest 2025-2027" headline tours, AVATAR intend to mark their territory by taking over one of the world's most iconic stages.
On March 30, 2027 the band will celebrate the 10th anniversary of "Feathers & Flesh", the landmark album that defined their cinematic vision, with an exclusive, one-night-only performance at the Royal Albert Hall. Fans can expect the album to be performed in its exclusive entirety, augmented by orchestral arrangements, dancers, a live choir and the members signature visual storytelling.
John Allfreddson, AVATAR's dream-weaving drummer and founding member states: "I end up in a rollercoaster ride, emotions run through every bone of my body," while reminiscing on the recording process of this record. "Half my mind ends up in another time and life in Dresden with this crazy lady laughing, painting owls, playing with microphones and water, hysterically and joyfully clapping her hands. The other half is in this dreamlike forest that only exists in my own mind… I ask myself, did we really create this?"
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".
