Avatarium Hurricanes and Halos

2017, Beauty and darkness, heavy guitars and fragile ballads, vintage blues rock and modern doom - the sound of Stockholm's Avatarium is so unique, that the band already succeeded in drawing the world into their mystical spell with their very first album. The Swedes take you by the hand and lead you down into their mesmerizing and gloomy world full of absurd poetry and bittersweet melancholy with a raw sixties flair. Although the key tone of this third full-length release is amazingly catchy with earworms such as the ,,The Starless Sleep" or ,,The Sky At The Bottom Of The Sea", the band still relies on a crushing doom atmosphere with a ghostly vibe. Eternal longing and bizarre little snapshot moments like in ,,A Kiss From The End Of The World" define the lyrics, but it's the ballad ,,When Breath Turns Into Air" that has a particularly deep meaning to Marcus and is dedicated to his deceased father. The new album was produced by Marcus Jidell himself, while David Castillo recorded and mixed it.
