Hailing from Stockholm, gloomy doom metal outfit Avatarium has a new EP ready to be released. Following the success of their eponymous debut album, out in November 2013 and the first ever single Moonhorse, the band just announced the release of their new EP called All I Want. The vinyl/digital only EP will be out on November 14th, 2014 via Nuclear Blast.

Percussionist Michael Blair, who has worked with Tom Waits and Lou Reed among others, is a guest on the track "All I Want".

The three live songs were recorded at the 2013 edition of renowned Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, The Netherlands, which was the second ever Avatarium show and the first one outside of Sweden. You can pre-order All I Want right here.




Tracklist:

Side A (45 RPM):
01. All I Want
02. Deep Well

Side B (33 RPM):
01. Pandora's Egg (live)
02. Tides Of Telepathy (live)
03. Bird Of Prey (live)

Commented guitarist Marcus Jidell about percussionist Michael Blair: "He 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!"
