Bio:

Avatar is a metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden.The band was formed in 2001 by drummer John Alfredsson and singer Johannes Eckerström. After a turbulent start, the line up settled in the fall of 2003 and stayed the same for ten years. In February 2013 guitarist Simon Andersson left the band, being replaced by Tim Öhrström.Avatar has seen several European tours as supporting act for Impaled Nazarene (May 2006), Evergrey (October - November 2006), In Flames (March 2007), Obituary (January - February 2008), Hardcore Superstar (October - November 2009), Warrior Soul (March - April 2010), Dark Tranquillity (October - November 2010), Helloween (December 2010 - January 2011) and Avenged Sevenfold/Five Finger Death Punch (November 2013) as well as an American tour with Lacuna Coil/Sevendust (February 2013). The band has performed on several of the larger music festivals in Sweden, e.g. Sweden Rock Festival,Arvikafestivalen and Storsjöyran.Schlacht, the second album by Avatar was released in October 2007, reaching spot 27 on the Swedish album chart.Björn Gelotte from In Flames contributed a guitar solo on the track Letters From Neverend.The band's third album, the self-titled Avatar, was released in Sweden in November 2009 reaching the 36th position on the national album chart.Most of the year up until the release of the album was spent in the studio. In January 2010 the band signed with Sony Music for the German and Swiss release of the latest album on March 26, 2010.[4] In April of the same year a deal was signed with the Japanese label Art Union, for a May 19 launch of the album.On January 25, 2012 the album Black Waltz was released in Europe. It reached position 25 on the album list in Avatar's native Sweden.The album was released in the US on February 14.In the fall of 2013 the band spent a month in Thailand recording for a new album, planned for release in March 2014.In 2013, after the wife of the singer of the band Device had pregnancy problems, they had to back down from the tour and Avatar was picked by Avenged Sevenfold to replace Device and continue to tour with them and Five Finger Death Punch.On March 11, 2014 it was announced that Avatar's fifth album would be titled Hail the Apocalypse and will be released May 13, 2014 via eOne Music. The album's first single, the title track, will be released March 17, 2014 and will be accompanied by a video according to a March 10 interview with vocalist Johannes Eckerström. The new album is produced by Tobias Lindell and mixed by Jay Ruston.In January 2010 the music video for the song Queen of Blades was released on the band's website. Blizzard Entertainment mentioned this on their Facebook and Twitter pages, since the song is about the character Sarah Kerrigan from their game Starcraft,giving the band much attention among the game's many fans.

Album:

AVATAR is a band that has been around for a decent amount of time. As the years go by, their sound, and imagine, become increasingly more bombastic. There are countless arguments on both sides of the fence about if image should be important at all in music, especially for Metal. I’m not going to debate that here, and AVATAR whole “King and Country,” theme is a bit annoying and corny, but fortunately AVATAR have always let their music speak for itself and first. With this, their seventh full length album, “Avatar Country,” that hasn’t change. In fact, the band has only improved and I daresay this might be the catchiest Metal album of the year. That scary word “catchy” often times makes Metalheads shudder but AVATAR can pull it off because they are damn good song writers and great musicians. Most of all, this album continues to uphold one, undeniable fact about the band: despite how you feel about them, AVATAR have a very unique sound that is all their own.After the intro, “Glory to Our King,” which sounds like it could had come from a play or maybe even a medieval cabaret, this album kicks into high gear with “Legend of the King.” This song opens with frantic and melodic guitar work from Kungen and Ohrstrom. These guys play so tightly and with such kingly vigor, you’ll forget all about how insane this album is. Not since BLIND GUARDIAN, has there been guitar players that make you want to sing along to their riffs and solos. This song clocks in at over 8 minutes and it’s a fun ride all the way thru. The band incorporates an odd blend of both Power and Melodic Death metal but also throws in some classic rock and (shock!) pop music. All these sounds are put together in such a well blended mixture that you won’t do anything but rock your ass off for the entire album’s run. “Legend of the King,” sums up what the band wants to accomplish with this release nicely.“King’s Harvest,” displays another side of the band, one that shows they can still bring some crushing heaviness down on us. The riffs are MESSHUGAH style in their density and dissonance and the vocals are more closely related to Death Metal than Power this time around. Eckerstorm can pretty much do anything with this voice, equally at home singing as he is screaming or growling. “A Statue of the King,” fits everything and the kitchen sink into its 3:44 time limit. It’s an energetic and myriad display of the bands talent, running the gauntlet to a “circus” style theme to the music all the way to thrash. Much like “Legend of the King,” this song showcases the band’s ability to mix it up on the fly, albeit in a much shorter fashion.The last two songs, “Silent Songs of the King pts. 1 and 2,” are instrumentals that end the album well. The first part is melodic with mostly clean instrumentation and the second part is a metal instrumental that focuses more on tight playing than being overly bombastic. All in all, AVATAR continue to impress with their crazy Heavy Metal sound that incorporates such varied and insane ideas. An early contender for one of the best albums of the year. If you're a fan of the band, I don’t see any reason why you wouldn’t enjoy this. If you haven’t heard of them before, and want something refreshing yet still very much Heavy Fucking Metal, then put this on your “must have” list.
