Swedish heavy metal juggernauts AVATAR have officially revealed their new album Don’t Go In The Forest, due out October 31st. Today’s announcement follows the release of their latest single and music video, “Tonight We Must Be Warriors,” which marks the third track unveiled from the record after the earlier singles “Captain Goat” and “In The Airwaves.”
Described by the band as their boldest and most experimental project yet, “Don’t Go In The Forest” promises to be unlike anything AVATAR have done before. “The album is filled to the brim with things we’ve never done before, songs and concepts we hadn’t dared touch until now,” the band explained. “The mind is wild, and we’ve lost ourselves in the darkest woods… a place of memories, fantasies, and forbidden thoughts that demand to be spoken.”
“Tonight We Must Be Warriors” showcases everything fans love about AVATAR’s unique blend of chaos and theatre. It’s a bombastic anthem that feels both ridiculous and razor-sharp, with a video that leans heavily into AVATAR’s signature style of absurdity-meets-brilliance. Following the feral stomp of “Captain Goat” and the soaring hooks of “In The Airwaves,” this new single positions “Don’t Go In The Forest” as a dynamic record full of twists and surprises.
