Swedish band Avatar are back and have released their new single ‘Captain Goat’, the first track since their acclaimed 2023 album ‘Dance Devil Dance’.
“I think those who listen to ‘Captain Goat’ will be very clear that the rules have changed once again,” says vocalist Eckerström. “It will always be metal. It will always be Avatar. We will never repeat the same song, and we will always find ways to reinvent ourselves. It’s the only way we know how, and the only way to give ourselves the chance to be the best we’ve ever been. ‘Captain Goat’ uses the theme of Satan and the spirit’s journey through the underworld as a meditation. It’s a negotiation with the harshness of being and the search for acceptance while navigating the ruthless darkness of life.”
Avatar will soon be touring alongside Iron Maiden and Metallica, along with the band's biggest show ever in Mexico City.
