Avatar have shared an official video for a new piano version of “Tower.“ The original version of that track appears on the group's 2014 album “Hail The Apocalypse.“ Vocalist Johannes Eckerström said the following:
“This version of ‘Tower‘ became a special moment in a very special period of our lives. It feels natural to use it as a way to stop and look back for just a moment before we move forward with full force. It’s a thank you to everyone who stands by our side and makes the magic happen.”
This news comes amid a legal battle between Avatar and Sony Music Entertainment’s Fifth Island Music. The following was said about that in a press release:
“Avatar have neither ownership nor receives any royalties on ‘Hail the Apocalypse,’ or any preceding albums, since 2015. The band is currently in the midst of a legal battle to reclaim their rights with former record label Fifth Island Music; formerly Gain Records, a part of Sony Music Entertainment. “
In other news, Avatar will also be entering the studio with producer Jay Ruston in January to work on their new album.
