Avatar Post New Song and Announce Rescheduled U.S. Tour Dates

Avatar may have had to end their fall U.S. tour early when frontman Johannes Eckerström tested positive for Covid-19, but there’s a silver lining for Avatar fans who missed out: not only has the band announced rescheduled dates, but they’ve released a brand new song, “So Sang the Hollow.”

Eckerström comments of the band’s newly released somber tune:

“I think the song fits the season. ‘So Sang The Hollow‘ lives between a dream and our waking nightmares. It’s like a seance with ghosts of your own creation. It’s one of those songs that was a very long time in the making, with the main guitar part having been kicked around since I entered the workforce. It also answers the question what Simon And Garfunkel would’ve sounded like if they grew up listening to Black Sabbath.”

In an announcement revealing the Covid-19 diagnosis, the band said that Eckerström was fully vaccinated and feeling fine.

You can listen to the brand new song below. Here are the rescheduled tour dates:

01/28 Grand Junction, CO – Mesa Theater
01/29 Billing, MT – Pub Station
01/30 Spokane, WA – Knitting Factory
01/31 Seattle, WA – Neptune Theatre
