Fantasy symphonic power metal
band France's Avaland
are sharing their next music video
"Kingslayer" in support of their upcoming sophomore
full-length "The
Legend of the Storyteller" due out on March 31st, 2023 via
Rockshots Records
to follow their 2021 debut "Theater of Sorcery".
The band comments:
"This one was directly felt as a potential single by the
band. Lucas made incredible work on the guitars on this song. The riffs are
groovy and the chorus is a real hook. And no, it’s not a song about Jamie
Lannister haha! But the question, here, is: Where is the good? Where is the
evil?"

In addition to the album's
upcoming unveiling, the band will be supporting Rhapsody of Fire in the Netherlands and
Belgium tour dates on March 10th and 11th (dates listed below).
Compared to Avaland's debut album,
the band's next full-length “The
Legend Of The Storyteller” is heavier and is a much more epic
power metal record full of anthems upon anthems for fans to chant to as they
are taken on a journey over twelve theatric tracks. The record also hears
double vocal duties from Adrien G. Gzagg and Jeff Kanji along with album guests
that include Zak Stevens (ex-Savatage/TSO), Madie (ex-Nightmare/Faith In
Agony), Pierre “Cara” Carabalona (Eltharia), Ivan Castelli (Lionsoul), Angèle
Macabiès, Jens Ludwig (Edguy) and Bruno Ramos (Sortilège/ex-Manigance).
Lead by Adrien G. Gzagg
(Autor/Composer/Lead Singer/Synths and Orchestrations), the album's storyline
is a prequel to the band's first album "Theater of Sorcery" as he
explains further:
"This album, as the first one, is a journey, a trip out of
our world, into the universe of Avaland. We enjoy seeing Avaland as a great
saga, as a movie, or series. We feel like listening to Avaland is like watching
Game Of Thrones, The Lord Of The Rings, or reading comics, it’s an escape from
everyday life. For this album, we took a lot of inspiration from Game Of
Thrones and Arthurian Myths. We love fantasy and mythologies and we also find
ourselves having a great fascination for alchemy and esoterism. Time is also a
great subject, it's mystical… in fact, time will be at the center of this saga.
This new opus is showing a heavier and darker atmosphere of Avaland’s theatrical
universe. Are you ready to be part of “The Legend Of The Storyteller”?"
