Johannes Eckerstrom of Avatar is a big fan of the band's new album!
In a new interview, the Avatar frontman spoke on the band's upcoming tenth studio album, stating how excited he was about it.
He stated:
"Everything about how it sounds is finished, and it sounds amazing. And now we're getting very close to have everything that looks like an album to look like an album as well. So we're close, and we're in a hurry, so that's good… At this point, it's just what makes AVATAR, AVATAR, I guess, that we think about and enjoy thinking about everything and how it comes together."
He continued:
"We always, obviously, try to only put good songs on an album and they're all there for a reason. And then it's just a fact of life that some of them are good in a more direct way, I guess. And this, I think, is a very direct song. And whatever people felt at the demo stage of the song comes back when rehearsing it and it comes alive where we really start playing it together — real drums and everything in the room. 'Cause while writing, we use a lot of drum machines so you can just boom, boom, boom. Everybody can sit and do ideas in their own little corner. So therefore rehearsing is the first time you get to really feel what it feels like being people playing this song before entering the studio and doing it properly there. And in each and every step of this, there's been something — just one of those songs that were something to it. And, again, I think it stands out in what we usually do, but it's at the same time built on billing blocks that is part of the way we do our heavy metal"
Avatar has yet to release the name of their upcoming album, but confirmed that it will be released later in the year.
