Avatar are premiering their new video for Night Never Ending, taken from the latest album Feathers & Flesh. For those who don’t know, Feathers & Flesh is a concept album with a companion book, which contains a fable written by frontman Johannes Eckerström. The fable is about an Owl who goes to war, and calls on other forest creatures to help. At one point, the Owl has been drawn into the muddy waters of depression by a Pike, but during Night Never Ending, the Wolf comes along to save her. The song finishes with the Owl determined to take on her foe, the Eagle.
All clear?
Speaking to Hammer about the video, Johannes says “It is very close to my heart for being the one video where there is no ‘rocking out’ going on, and we get to capture a side of Avatar that is just as integral as the good, headbanging times we love sharing with our supporters all around the world. There are few things in this world as beautiful and fascinating as contrasts, and this is what all of Feathers & Flesh is all about – hope and tragedy”.
Feathers & Flesh is out now.
