"New Land" is a single by Swedish heavy metal band Avatar off their sixth studio album Feathers & Flesh. It peaked at number 20 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart in 2017.
The song "New Land" comes from Avatar's studio album Feathers & Flesh, a concept album.[1] The album's overarching concept is telling a fable-like story about an "owl who goes to war against the world to stop the sun from rising."[2] Frontman Johannes Eckerstrom described how the song's message fit in to the overall narrative of the concept album:
The band released a music video for the song on 6 March 2017.[3] Parting from the song's message in the concept album, the band is instead featured as exploring a fictional version of Trappist-1,[3] and encountering unfriendly inhabitants there.[4] Eckerstrom stated that the band agreed not to do any literal interpretations for any of the songs on the concept album, desiring to present the song's themes in a different light.[5]
