Avian, the melodic metal band featuring singer Lance King (Balance Of Power, Pyramaze) and guitarist Yan Leviathan, has set Ashes And Madness as the title of its new CD, tentatively due in early 2008. According to the group, "Mattias Nor?n (Epica, Evergrey, Into Eternity, Manticora, Cloudscape) has once again handled all of the art duties and he has done a killer job constructing a visually stunning 16-page booklet." The band continues, "Bill Hudson (Cellador) will handle all of the guitar solos on the album! Additionally, the drums will be played by our good friend Jerry B; some of you have seen him play live with us and are well aware of what a monster he is."

Yan Leviathan assembled Avian after being inspired by Gamma Ray's performance at the ProgPower USA III festival. Lance King is a well-respected and seasoned vocalist who has received critical acclaim and the support of legions of fans from his work in such bands as Balance Of Power, Gemini, Pyramze, Shining Star, and now also Krucible, and is owner of Nightmare Records).

Avian's debut album, From The Depths Of Time, was released in 2005.
