AVALAND releases new metal opera album Chemical Poetry

French metal opera band AVALAND is set to release their new album, “Chemical Poetry,” on October 30, 2026, via Storytium SAS. The release continues the band's ongoing musical saga, blending melodic power metal with progressive influences and operatic elements.

In anticipation of the album, the band has released a lyric video for the single “To Fool A Witch.” The track features cinematic imagery and a prominent descending chromatic guitar riff. Lead singer Adrien noted that the song focuses on melodic and emotional build-up rather than a traditional hook.

The album features a diverse musical landscape, incorporating symphonic power metal, musical piano elements, and dramatic choral passages. The project includes vocal contributions from Jeff Kanji and Helle Bogdanova, exploring themes of life, love, and death through a narrative lens.
