The following update was posted on Avatar's official website:

"We've got title and release date set for the new album! Make a mark in your calender on October 24th. The album, which will be named "Schlacht", will be out in all over Europe simultainiously and it will be packed with one hour of kick ass multimedia junk, such as live clips and interviews! Large parts of Europe will be able to see us on the road in the beginning of next year with the almighty Obituary and Holy Moses. We're working on the Swedish dates at the moment, so be patient. This album will be something for the history books, I tell ya! I guess you're not really allowed to get these kinds of goose bumps from your own music, but WE DO!!! Can't wait to show you, but I will! Cheeeeeeeers!"
