Averlanche has released a new dark EP – Mikael Salo as guest singer

The Helsinki-based melodic metal band Averlanche, founded in 2017, has released a sequel to their second album “Arctic Atlas,” published in 2023. “The Dark Side Of Atlas” EP contains the previously released single “She & the Dark Winter” and three remixed songs from the Arctic Atlas album. Mikael Salo, who is known for the bands Metal De Facto, Dyecrest and Everfrost, is featured as a guest singer on the EP.

“Originally, our plan was to invite Mikael as a guest artist to sing duets with Rebecca. This collaboration started already in November 2022, and by January 2023 we had recorded Mikael’s vocal tracks for three songs. However, during the mixing process of the ‘Arctic Atlas’ album, both our team and our record company came to the conclusion that the songs did not require guest vocals. Since Mikael had done an excellent job, we decided to keep his versions of the songs for possible future use. This decision gave birth to the idea of ‘The Dark Side of Atlas’ EP.”
