Swedish heavy metal band Avatar has released the lyric video for their new single In the Airwaves, a track from their forthcoming tenth studio album, expected in late 2025 via Black Waltz Records. The video, directed by Johan Carlén, is available on YouTube.
Described by the band as their fastest song in years, In the Airwaves channels raw speed and metal energy, with Jonas Jarlsby crafting the main riffs and John Alfredsson delivering intricate drum work. Frontman Johannes Eckerström leads the charge, joined by guitarists Jarlsby and Tim Öhrström, bassist Henrik Sandelin, and Alfredsson on drums. Following their 2023 album Dance Devil Dance, which included the chart-topping The Dirt I’m Buried In, the single builds anticipation for their next release.
Avatar will headline the In the Airwaves USA ’25 Tour starting November 5, 2025, in Phoenix, AZ, with Alien Weaponry and Spiritworld, and support Iron Maiden and Metallica in 2025–2026. Pre-order the album at avatarmetal.com.
