AVALAND releases new single ‘Face the Eternal’

French metal opera band AVALAND has released the single ‘Face the Eternal’ and an accompanying lyric video. The track is part of their upcoming third studio album, ‘Chemical Poetry’, which is scheduled for release on October 30, 2026, through Storytium SAS.

The song incorporates melodic death metal riffs, 1980s-inspired elements, and choir arrangements. It features a synthesizer solo by Joost van den Broek and guest vocals from Helle Bohdanova of IGNEA, who performs the role of Death using guttural vocals to contrast with the clean vocals of Jeff Kanji and Adrien G. Gzagg.

Narratively, the track continues the band’s fantasy saga, following the protagonist Aylan Wilstorm into the Necrolands. In the band’s mythology, Death is depicted not as a tyrant, but as a gentle guide and the daughter of Time who leads souls away from the void.
