Today, ATAVISTIA raise their horns and throw open the tavern doors with the release of “Mystic Tavern,” the first single from their forthcoming full length album Old Gods Awaken, set for release on May 15th, 2026 via Blood Blast Distribution.
“Mystic Tavern” showcases a bold and spirited side of the band. Centered around the concept of a never ending celebration, the track blends blistering blast beats, shifting time signatures, and an irresistibly folktouched bridge built to move crowds. It is epic, mischievous, and technically sharp in equal measure.
“Mystic Tavern” was the first song written for Old Gods Awaken and set the tone for the album’s direction. The record embraces shorter, catchier, and more straightforward songwriting while retaining the ferocity and progressive ambition that define ATAVISTIA’s identity. Folk metal textures weave seamlessly into blackened intensity, reflecting the band’s instinct driven approach to composition.
The single arrives alongside an official music video, bringing the song’s celebratory chaos to life and offering fans their first glimpse into the world of Old Gods Awaken.
Due out May 15th, 2026, Old Gods Awaken runs 43 minutes and 21 seconds and represents the uplifting first chapter of a two album concept. Incorporating Swedish and Finnish lyrics for the first time in the band’s catalog, the album draws from Nordic heritage and mythic atmosphere while delivering some of ATAVISTIA’s most memorable hooks to date. From tavern revelry to forest mysticism and epic progressive climaxes, the record marks a confident evolution in their sound.
