Atavistia Unleashes 'Old Gods Awaken' on Epic Canadian Tour

The gods of heavy metal have awakened, and Atavistia is primed to unleash their latest sonic assault, 'Old Gods Awaken', across Canada this fall. Kicking off on September 25, 2026, at Vancouver’s iconic Wise Hall, this relentless tour promises to take audiences on an epic journey through the realms of melodic death metal and folk-infused rhythms, sharing the stage with titans like Ensiferum and Firewind.

As they traverse the Canadian landscape, from the rugged terrains of British Columbia to the bustling streets of Montreal, Atavistia will be joined by fellow metal warriors Omniesia for select dates in Kamloops, Calgary, and Edmonton. But the real magic brews when Quebec’s own Trollwar joins the fray starting October 3 in Sarnia, infusing the tour with their unique blend of folk and melodic death metal until the climactic finale in Montreal.

Atavistia’s 'Old Gods Awaken' is not just another album; it’s a bold exploration of sound that dives deep into the essence of early 2000s folk metal while maintaining the band’s signature technical prowess and sprawling orchestrations. With lyrics in Swedish and Finnish, the eight-track opus showcases the band’s evolution, blending soaring melodies with blast-beat aggression and haunting harmonies. Tracks like 'Mystic Tavern' and the eleven-minute title track are set to resonate through the hearts of fans, demonstrating the band’s ability to craft both direct hooks and expansive cinematic compositions.

Produced by the formidable Mattias Sippola, who also lends his guitar and vocal prowess to the band, 'Old Gods Awaken' is a testament to Atavistia’s relentless pursuit of musical excellence. With a lineup featuring Max Sepulveda on drums, Elia Baghbaniyan on guitar, and Spencer Budworth on bass and vocals, the band is ready to deliver an unforgettable experience across Canada.

Prepare your horns and get ready to witness a spectacle of melodic fury as Atavistia takes the stage and reignites the spirit of heavy metal. This is not just a tour; it's a declaration that the old gods are indeed awake, and they are here to reclaim their throne!
