The heavy metal 'n' roll, dark, madcap visionaries collectively known as Avatar have unleashed yet another track from their upcoming magnum opus and ninth album Dance Devil Dance, out Febriuary 17 via Black Waltz Records. Pre-order the album here.

Today, the band has shared the new song "Violence No Matter What," a powerhouse duet with the inimitable Lzzy Hale. Watch it here.

Vocalist Johannes Eckerström shared the following:

'Violence No Matter What' is about one thing and one thing only. It's ok to debate and fight and to think differently. But there is a limit, and the line must be drawn at authority held with violence, a world view that cannot survive without enemies, a promised return to a fabricated former glory.

Hale added:

'Violence No Matter What' was such an inspiring piece to be a part of! Thank you so much to the boys for giving me the opportunity to express my angst against the horrors of this world through such a brilliant song!

The almighty Avatar will also return to the road this spring on a headline tour that kicks off April 28 in Omaha and runs through May 28 in Pittsburgh. Veil of Maya and Orbit Culture will support. All dates are below, including key spring festival appearances.Get tickets here.
