See Avatar Get Down With Satan in New "Dance Devil Dance" Video

Lead single and title track off upcoming ninth album

Avatar have emerged from the Swedish forest to announce their highly anticipated ninth album, Dance Devil Dance. Ahead of its February 17th release, the madcap heavy-metal troupe — fronted by the irrepressible Johannes Eckerström — unleashed today (October 27th) the LP's lead single and title track, a stomping, theatrical rager in the group's tried and true tradition. Blast it above via its surreal, blood-soaked music video.

"I woke up to the truth one day," Eckerström commented. "With my heart pounding, and a heavy breath, I knew for sure. I am Satan. The snake and forbidden fruit with a longing for knowledge, freedom and agency. My feet were moving. I thought I was running, but I was dancing. A celebration. Yes, I am the Devil, and I believe that one day you can be the Devil, too. It is my hope and ambition that this song will help you find your way there. As such, it's a celebration of love, lust and democracy."
