Every song is its own thing, but every song is also unmistakably Avatar.”* – **[Wall Of Sound](https://www.wallofsoundau.com/reviews/avatar-dont-go-in-the-forest-album-review)** 9/10 review *“… this is their most accessible outing in years, and a reminder that beneath the greasepaint lies a band intent on outdoing itself.”* – **[Metal Hammer](https://www.loudersound.com/music/albums/avatar-dont-go-in-the-forest-album-review)** 4/5 review *“ We want our Avatar experience to be equal parts madcap circus theatrics, unhinged heavy metal, and camp melody, with plenty of unpredictable twists and turns along the way. On all counts, Don’t Go In The Forest ticks every one of those boxes.”  ***[V13 Media](https://v13.net/2025/10/avatar-dont-go-in-the-forest-album-review/)** The heavy metal visionaries collectively known as **AVATAR** — vocalist **Johannes Eckerström**, guitarists **Jonas Jarlsby** and**Tim Öhrström**, bassist** Henrik Sandelin**, and drummer** John Alfredsson** — have finally unleashed their latest masterwork ***Don’t Go in the Forest***. Listen and get the album [HERE](https://8f165a02.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=208491&session_recipient_id=127310102&url=NB2HI4B2F4XWY3TLFZ2G6L3BOZQXIYLSFVSG63TUM5XWS3TUNBSWM33SMVZXI%3D%3D%3D&signature=Bm3hohjFNuA4s6u8dJDdWsQW-oo%3AqQlqGzLK). Regarding the album, Eckerström has explained, “The secret ingredient is that we still feel like we’re just getting started. *Don’t Go In The Forest *is an album filled to the brim with stuff we’ve never done before. It’s all songs and concepts we haven’t been close to touch until now. The mind is wild and we have lost ourselves in the darkest woods, filled with memories, and fantasies. Forbidden thoughts that must be spoken.” He furthered, “It would have been impossible to make this album at any other time than now. That’s all we ever wanted, and I think you’ll find it’s all you ever wanted too.” Avatar’s growth and momentum has only accelerated in recent years. There’s the critically acclaimed, 2023-released album ***Dance Devil Dance***, which included their first #1 at Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay, “**The Dirt I’m Buried In**.” There have been scores of sold-out headline shows across the globe, and an actual fossil named after them. The list goes on and on. Avatar shows no sign of pausing to take a breath in their quest for absolute world domination — much less stopping. ***DON’T GO IN THE FOREST *****TRACK LISTING:** “[Tonight We Must Be Warriors](https://8f165a02.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=208491&session_recipient_id=127310102&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS653XO4XHS33VOR2WEZJOMNXW2L3XMF2GG2B7OY6WSVCJHEZHOMCWLFQVC%3D%3D%3D&signature=ObFRvHp8pT96Ge1Pjr4caSkoh0M%3AqQlqGzLK)”  “[In The Airwaves](https://8f165a02.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=208491&session_recipient_id=127310102&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS653XO4XHS33VOR2WEZJOMNXW2L3XMF2GG2B7OY6XC2C2LF3HA6LENQ4UC%3D%3D%3D&signature=e2EeothCS_4vnOcjEVQTSCspw44%3AqQlqGzLK)”     “[Captain Goat](https://8f165a02.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=208491&session_recipient_id=127310102&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS653XO4XHS33VOR2WEZJOMNXW2L3XMF2GG2B7OY6XQUSTIZFG2OBQGNXXG%3D%3D%3D&signature=iBn96L6rkhxVXypUIUjd2kaX1lY%3AqQlqGzLK)”     “Don’t Go In The Forest”     “[Death And Glitz](https://8f165a02.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=208491&session_recipient_id=127310102&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS66LPOV2HKLTCMUXTOSCPMFVXETLNIMZES%3D%3D%3D&signature=8Afp_IAotqHvstlshFcSyquprYU%3AqQlqGzLK)”     “Abduction Song”     “Howling At The Waves”     “Dead And Gone And Back Again”     “Take This Heart And Burn”     “Magic Lantern” **FOLLOW AVATAR:** **[Website](https://avatarmetal.com/#tour)**** | ****[Instagram](https://8f165a02.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=208491&session_recipient_id=127310102&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS62LOON2GCZ3SMFWS4Y3PNUXWC5TBORQXE3LFORQWY%3D%3D%3D&signature=P64hh13RmmzsuKHeDBdjHPLV_Og%3AqQlqGzLK)**** | ****[Facebook](https://8f165a02.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=208491&session_recipient_id=127310102&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS653XO4XGMYLDMVRG633LFZRW63JPMF3GC5DBOJWWK5DBNQ%3D%3D%3D%3D%3D%3D&signature=JshcSSd50uVhLVFKwd2mRDsRcCY%3AqQlqGzLK)**** | ****[Spotify](https://8f165a02.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=208491&session_recipient_id=127310102&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS633QMVXC443QN52GSZTZFZRW63JPMFZHI2LTOQXTI2TQMFMGSZLVNRZTOTCWPJDTC5LNME2VE4Z7ONUT2S2CMRCWC23NPBJXA2LEFV3GQU2ML5FGUMTH&signature=OYLjTb8JjQbtask2tna7dgqwINc%3AqQlqGzLK)**** | ****[Apple Music](https://8f165a02.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=208491&session_recipient_id=127310102&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS63LVONUWGLTBOBYGYZJOMNXW2L3VOMXWC3DCOVWS62DVNZ2GK4RNM5QXI2DFOJSXELZRGUYTAMBTGM4DANI%3D&signature=uj2jAjSV7jrAJN_Ayu-ePVy7kv4%3AqQlqGzLK)**** | ****[YouTube](https://8f165a02.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=208491&session_recipient_id=127310102&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS653XO4XHS33VOR2WEZJOMNXW2L3VONSXEL3BOZQXIYLSOR2WEZI%3D&signature=-MPqF7u2LmI7ToVmhe8gwNk05Gw%3AqQlqGzLK)** ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/32223/uploaded_image-10.jpeg)
