Swedish outfit Avatar have announced their sixth studio album will be titled Feathers & Flesh.
They’ve been working with producer Sylvia Massy on the follow-up to 2014’s Hail The Apocalypse – and the results will be released on May 13 via Another Century.
Massy says: “Avatar is an amazing band. The singer Johannes Eckerstrom has the wild energy and charisma I love, and the players are relentless.
“The album we’re making is an epic. Each song powerfully stands on it’s own, but is only a piece of a larger story. This album is the project I’ve been dreaming about for years.”
Feathers & Flesh is available for pre-order.
Avatar will support the release with a run of live shows over the coming months, including an appearance at this year’s Download festival.
