Swedish doom metallers AVATARIUM‘s highly-praised new dark gospel The Fire I Long For (soundcheck winner at Metal Hammer (D) and Rock Hard (D) as well as “Album of the Month” at Metal Hammer (PL) and Rock Hard (F) among others), is finally out via Nuclear Blast. To mark the occasion, the band have unveiled a brand new lyric video for the song ‘Lay Me Down,’ which features guest appearances by Leif Sundin (backing vocals) and Michael Blair (percussion).
Guitarist Marcus Jidell comments, “‘Lay Me Down’ is maybe one of the best songs we’ve written thus far. It contains so many elements I think a good song should have: great and moving lyrics, soulful musical performances and psychedelic elements that might be a way of trying to understand and feel connected with other dimensions and spiritual energies.”
Only two years after taking fans by storm with »Hurricanes And Halos,« the Swedes are back with a new offering that sees them return to their epic doom roots, whilst also paying their respects to rock legends such as RAINBOW, LED ZEPPELIN and THE DOORS.
