Avatar is one of those bands that comes along and immediately kicks you on your ass! Hard hitting drums with a cool beat and a recognizable guitar riff make this band easy to listen to even with all its insanity.
(NEW YORK, NY) – Swedish visual masterminds AVATAR have unveiled their latest video for “Smells Like A Freakshow” today exclusively at LOUDWIRE.COM. Click HERE or the image above to watch! Frontman Johannes Eckerström adds his own words about the new video:
“The video illustrates inner conflict in an explicit manner, using abuse of unjust power in different contexts. The lyrical themes of downfall, embracing of decadence and failed attempts to escape are pointed out by the fact that ultimately the bad guys win.”
The band kicks off their very first U.S. tour supporting LACUNA COILand SEVENDUST with an intimate performance at The Studio at Webster Hall in New York City on Wednesday January 30th. Clickhere for more tour date info!
