Avatarium - All I Want

Hailing from Stockholm, gloomy metal outfit Avatarium was founded in late 2012. Following the success of their eponymous debut, out on November 01st, 2013 and the first ever single "Moonhorse", released September 20th of the same year, Avatarium have just announced the release of their new EP ‘All I Want’. The vinyl/digital only EP will be out November 14th, 2014 via Nuclear Blast.

Mid 2013, just eight months within the bands’ history, the word was spreading rapidly about their special blend of heavy adventurous music: Influenced by the likes of Jethro Tull, Blue Öyster Cult, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, adding the peaks of pop and 60’s vibes, Avatarium deliver some delicate moments of beauty and frailness rarely to be found in a band these days.

Avatarium have launched a lyric video for the title track from their upcoming EP "All I Want". I

The band are led by Candlemass bassist Leif Edling, and also feature frontwoman Jennie-Ann Smith, guitarist Marcus Jidell (Royal Hunt, Evergrey), drummer Lars Sköld (Tiamat) and keyboardist Carl Westholm.

The old spirit comes even more alive, with psychedelic percussionist Michael Blair, who has worked with Tom Waits and Lou Reed, among others, guesting on "All I Want".
Commented Marcus Jidell: "[Michael] showed up at the studio with a big 'bag of tricks' with metals, crashers, shakers and a lot of strange things which he made sound like if you throw in a punkrocker at Woodstock and feed him with psychedelic pills!" About the new songs, he adds: "We tried to keep things simple and spontaneous during the recordings, something I hope people will be able to hear. Also, I think that Jennie-Ann Smith has reached new levels with the way she sings on both of the new songs!"

The three live songs were recorded at the 2014 edition of renowned Roadburn festival in Tilburg, The Netherlands, which was the second ever Avatarium show and the first one outside of Sweden.

Due to his health condition, Edling was unable to perform with Avatarium at some of the band's most recent gigs. Filling in for him once again was Anders Iwers from Tiamat.

Percussionist Michael Blair guests on the EP and Jidell previously said his contribution helped them break new musical ground. He said: "Michael showed up at the studio with a big bag of tricks, with metals, crashers, shakers and a lot of strange things. He made sound like if you throw in a punk rocker at Woodstock and feed him with psychedelic pills!

Death Destruction - Fuck Yeah

Howdy Folks!

I heard a pretty new group from the Town of Metal Gothenburg!
(feels a bit weird to say this as im from Stockholm but I guess I have to admit it) DeathDestruction a quite cool bunch of guys that really can make metal happen.
Members: Jimmie Strimell (Dead by April), vocals, Henry "Hinken" Danhage (Evergrey), guitar, Fredrik Larsson (Hammerfall), bass, and Jonathan "Lillen" Ekdahl (Evergrey), drums



Death destruction began as a thing we did when we were drunk - six years later super group from Göteborg releases a live Ep and Sweden's metal elite line up to run in their music video.
We had no plans to become more than a fun thing, but then we realized it was too good to just let it be. But it took time to get together because everyone had different bands, "says the drummer Jonas Ekdahl. The members of the Deathdestruction have backgrounds in bands like Evergrey, Hammerfall and Death by April. But despite solid résumés, they do not wanna live on past achievements.
"This is a separate thing that can stand on its own. It´s like little Bambi on thin ice,
it will take the time it needs", says guitarist Henry Danhage.



They will play at:
06.17 Metaltown in Gothenburg, Sweden
07.07 Getaway festival. Gävle, Sweden
30.11 Copenhagen - Lille Vega
01.12 Stockholm - Debaser Slussen (Club paranoid)
04.12 Oslo - John Dee
08.12 Gothenburg - Parken
10.12 Västerås - Sigurdsgatan 25


Lets hear them

Headbang with me!!

Cheers, Thetania
