Avatar returns in 2020 with a bold manifesto called "Hunter Gatherer". The band's eighth album is an unflinchingly ruthless study of a clueless humankind's ever-increasing velocity into an uncertain future, furthering the reach of the band's always expanding dark roots. Songs like "A Secret Door," "Colossus," and "Silence in the Age of Apes" are ready-made anthems for the modern age, each struggling for a collective meaning amidst the savagery of technology.
