AVALAND comments: “‘Destiny Calls’ rises as a theatrical anthem forged in the grand tradition of power metal (echoing the spirit of Angra, Helloween, Sonata Arctica, etc.). Sharp, heavy riffing collides with sweeping orchestrations and mind‑bending melodies, merging into a true hymnic quest. This new single also welcomes Madie (Ex-Nightmare, Faith In Agony) as the first guest of the era, while Jeff Kanji delivers all lyrics and vocal lines crafted upon Adrien’s compositions — once again elevated by the virtuosity of Lucas, Camille, and Léo. The call has been made. Will you step forward and embrace destiny?”

Every AVALAND album is a new chapter in an original fantasy chronicle filled with spellbound battles, heroic destinies, and soaring melodies that hit as hard as a warhammer and shimmer like arcane fire. This isn’t just an album cycle – it’s a living legend. After their debut “Theater Of Sorcery” (2021), the second full-length “The Legend Of The Storyteller” (2023), and their live album “The Legend Comes Alive” (2025), the band has brought renowned producer Joost van den Broek (Epica, Powerwolf, Sabaton, Ayreon, Blind Guardian) on board for their new album “Chemical Poetry”. “Working on this album with Joost, we could finally define precisely what AVALAND’s sound is, searching for something very organic, warm, thrilling, but with a more modern approach. He really pushed us to express what AVALAND is through our music, freeing us from some imaginary constraints”, explains singer Adrien.
With the release of “Chemical Poetry”, the band opens the next chapter (Chapter 4) of their ongoing opus, delivering a record designed to be experienced as an immersive epic adventure. Towering riffs strike like critical hits, choirs and orchestral arrangements set the battlefield, and storytelling remains at the heart of the experience. AVALAND doesn’t just soundtrack an adventure – they invite listeners to step deeper into a world where metal and myth evolve together.
