Australia… you thought they forgot! They did not. They waited. They sharpened their claws. They let the forest grow wilder, darker, hungrier. Three years is a blink in eternity, yet long enough for the trees to learn your secrets. Now they return not as visitors, but as conquerors. Bring your torches. Bring your madness. Bring your soul laid bare.
Step into the woods and let The Clown paint your face with fire. Do not go in alone… because once you enter, you never truly leave.
In 2023, when we declared AVATAR one of the greatest live metal bands on the planet, some were incredulous. Then Australia witnessed the crushing the band delivered. Dance Devil Dance hit number 1 on the iTunes Rock and Metal Albums Charts (and number 6 across all genres), and the doubters vanished.
Now AVATAR return with the triumphant release of their tenth studio album, Don’t Go In The Forest, continuing their legacy of crushing riffs, soaring hooks, masterful songwriting and shadow‑soaked storytelling.
Australia prepare to pledge your allegiance. The reckoning has arrived.
