AVIAN Working On New Material

January 11, 2010

AVIAN, the melodic metal band featuring singer Lance King (BALANCE OF POWER, PYRAMAZE) and guitarist Yan Leviathan, is currently in pre-production for its third album, to be released in late 2010/early 2011.

Commented Leviathan:"The new material is heading toward a heavier and faster feel than the previous two albums. There will be a few of the trademark riff-heavy songs reminiscent of 'From The Depths Of Time' and 'Ashes And Madness', in addition to the heavier and faster songs. Yes, I know that every band says that, but what else are we going to say?! That the new songs are slower and melower? They're not, so please forgive the cliché."

AVIAN will support HAMMERFALL on Thursday, March 18 at the Station 4 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Leviathan says, "This is a treat for me, as HAMMERFALL have been a huge influence on me. I am looking forward with much anticipation to sharing the stage with this amazing band."

AVIAN's sophomore album, "Ashes and Madness", was released in Europe in February 2009 via Germany's Silverwolf Productions.

The recording lineup for the CD was as follows:

Lance King - Vocals, Keyboards
Yan Leviathan - Guitar, Bass
Jerry B. - Drums
Bill Hudson (ex-CELLADOR) - All Guitar Solos

A video featuring the album's "The Lost and Forsaken" single, set against some of the artwork that is included in the booklet that was created by Mattias Norén, can be viewed below.

Yan Leviathan assembled AVIAN after being inspired by GAMMA RAY's performance at the ProgPower USA III festival.
