Avatar<\/a> fans, this one\u2019s for you. Loudwire Nights<\/a><\/em> host Chuck Armstrong is going live with Johannes Eckerstr\u00f6m<\/a> to celebrate the release of Avatar\u2019s 10th studio album, Don\u2019t Go in the Forest<\/em> \u2014 including Loudwire\u2019s exclusive vinyl variant<\/a>.<\/p>\n They\u2019ll dive into Avatar\u2019s current tour, the story behind the album and what it was like playing in Mexico City the night it dropped. And because this is a real-time livestream on Facebook and YouTube, you\u2019re part of the show. Drop your questions and comments in chat, and Chuck will share them directly with Johannes. Tune in right here at 6PM ET!<\/p>\n Avatar may be celebrating their 10th studio album, Don\u2019t Go in the Forest<\/em>, but Eckerstr\u00f6m isn\u2019t interested in milestones. In fact, he admits he didn\u2019t even feel the weight of hitting double digits until the night before the record dropped. For him, the number doesn\u2019t matter as much as the approach. Every album Avatar makes is treated like there might never be another one.<\/p>\n \u201cNo other album exists before it and, more importantly, there\u2019s no album after it. It\u2019s the last album,\u201d Eckerstr\u00f6m told Loudwire Nights<\/em><\/a>. \u201cEvery album has been the last album \u2014 if you had one more album to record, what do you really want to do now?\u201d<\/p>\n That urgency drives the writing, but Eckerstr\u00f6m says the real gravity hits later, when the band finally hands the music over. \u201cThe word \u2018release\u2019 as an album release, it has that meaning of also letting go,\u201d he explained. Hearing fans react, outside the band\u2019s creative bubble, is what truly seals the moment \u2014 that instant when a \u201clast album\u201d finally belongs to someone else.<\/p>\nAvatar’s 10th Album\u00a0Don\u2019t Go in the Forest<\/em><\/h3>\n
