Avatar have released a video for their new track The King Wants You.
It’s been taken from the Swedish outfit’s upcoming album Avatar Country, which is set to arrive on January 12 via Entertainment One in North America and Century Media Records across the rest of the world.
A statement on the release reads: “Hear Ye! Hear Ye! His royal majesty the King and His elite orchestra, Avatar have granted the Royal State Television Network (KTV) the right to release footage of their participation in recent battle through the popular medium of the YouTube.
“This is within accommodation with their newest single The King Wants You. The so-called ‘music video’ is once again directed by Johan Carlén, overseen by the Department of Accurate Depiction of the King.”
Avatar Country is now available for pre-order while the band will tour across Europe in March and April next year. They’ll be supported by Old Kerry McKee and Hellzapoppin. Find details below.
