It’s finally here! Avandra‘s new album Prodigal is now available worldwide on CD and through streaming services!
The new intense concept album based around war and it’s ever lasting impact on the world, features intense metal moments combined with the familiar melodic and melancholic sensibilities the band is known for!
Multiple reviewers already talked about this album, saying the following:
“Avandra has done something few bands are willing to try, and even fewer are capable of pulling off… This is a major accomplishment, both as a story and as a musical piece. The range and depth of emotion on display are astounding. The tones, tempo, time signature shifts, and phrasing variations are complex and captivating.” Kevin Lewis – Metal Zenith
“Prodigal is one of those intricate and influential albums that takes some understanding at first but when you peel back the final layer of this epic behemoth, it is a wonder to behold.” Martin Hutchinson – Progradar
“This is a mature effort, with every note placed with thoughtfulness and consideration. It’s past time to start talking about AVANDRA as one of the heavy-hitters in Progressive Metal.” Dave Campbell – Metal Temple
So, if you like what you read and hear here, be sure to order the album today!
Avandra comes out all guns blazing with a brand new song and music video called ‘In Memoriam’! The song showcases Avandra’s heavier progressive metal side fusing high tempo riffing and drumbeats with the by now familiar trademark melancholy in the melodies and lyrics. Featuring both concept footage based on the albums’ story and live footage from the intense show the band played at Progpower Europe, this video has become an intense ride.
Christian Ayala, the band’s singer/guitarist had the following to say about the track:
‘This song deals with the concepts of loss, trauma, dealing with guilt and the searching of mnemonic representations of past loved ones whose face one is eager to recall.’
Coinciding with this video, Avandra has started this new albums’ preorder campaign today on both their own site and the label site!
