Avalanche Party release ferocious new album ‘Der Traum Über Alles’ alongside electrifying single ‘Ecstasy’

Yorkshire’s feral garage-punk force Avalanche Party unleash their highly anticipated new album ‘Der Traum Über Alles’. Recorded at the legendary Rancho De La Luna Studios in Joshua Tree with Dave Catching (Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal), the album radiates wild, untamed energy, grappling with themes of bloodlust, subversion, and incineration—a sonic detonation of pent-up aggression.

Following the blistering success of previously released singles ‘Shake The Slack’, ‘John Coltrane’s Moscow Skyscraper’, ‘Nureyev Said It Best’, and ‘Collateral Damage’, which received support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X, DIY, and Clash, Avalanche Party mark the album’s release today with a brand new track—’Ecstasy’.

‘Ecstasy’ dives into the euphoria of self-destruction, blending Avalanche Party’s signature intensity with an experimental edge. The track introduces Ostrich tuning, a technique pioneered by Lou Reed, but with a unique twist—a custom-built guitar rigged for separate inputs and effects between the octaves.

Frontman Jordan Ray explains: ”‘Ecstasy’ was the first song I wrote using Ostrich tuning, but we had to build a guitar to be able to play it right—separate inputs for separate amps and effects between the octaves. Without that, the rhythm and melody were too muddy, but the new guitar made it work. The lyrical narrative wrote itself. It’s a nice story.”

“We started playing it live on tour with …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, and people loved it immediately—especially in Denmark. And Berlin. And Vienna. And Basel. Quite something. Those people really knew their ecstasies.”
