@@joshtulak8767 I discovered this band cuz they opened for ice nine kills and in this moment, and i have never fallen in love with a band more. you're not wrong seeing them live is absolutely amazing
Just discovered these guys as well on a random bands being played on Spotify and these guys popped up and had to save them definitely different in a great way
🎶LYRICS🎶 Once upon a highway Lost among the lights of neon tribes I used to be a part of you You used me and I used you too You took me to the desert Desecrated, desperate prey, oh yeah You took me to the desert I smoke the blackened tissue High inside the church of the neon lights I grease my limbs and enter you The engine roars as enginеs do The pressure wе are under Unmarked grave, the undead reign, oh yeah The stars align Behind my eyes I'm going blind I look up to the sky But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in Lonely lays the longing I'm so far away from the world that buried me An unknown destination Tied up in the trunk of a stolen ride I've never seen a sky so red Just one more try before we're dead The ashes in our nostrils Ask for nothing, act like you're ok The stars align Behind my eyes I'm going blind I look up to the sky But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in Lonely lays the longing I'm so far away from the world that buried me I look up to the sky But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in Lonely lays the longing I'm so far away from the world that buried me A crushing wave Upon the rocks A shallow grave On the coast I'll wait I look up to the sky But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in Lonely lays the longing I'm so far away from the world that buried me I look up to the sky But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in Lonely lays the longing I'm so far away from the world that buried me
I love that you never quite know what you are going to get with a new Avatar song, but 98% of the time it's amazingly fresh! This is about as damn catchy as it gets! And damn, that Tim solo with Jonas' riff behind it! Wow! Just great song writing! I like to look at Avatar as much more than a heavy band capable of just smashing out bangers like Hail or Colossus. I love that they try different styles and if that style is little "light" for you, I get it, but I really think it shows how diverse they are. Personally, I like albums that have a flow to them, but change the styles up a bit so it's not like the same song or style over and over. Avatar always delivers on that and they are really growing as musicians as well.
Exceptionally said. I think you perfectly described how alot of us feel. Avatar to me is criminally underrated, been around soo long and yet they’re still young so the future is so bright with this catalog they possess.
Yes very well said. I would just add/reiterate that even though I might say “oh c’mon guys, what the hell you thinking’?” To me, just about all of those Avatar songs that branch well off their core path still Work, it might not work for me, but I can hear that they got to where they were going for, and that points to their phenomenal songwriting ability….which as long as they keep gifting us with these songs that affects us in a powerful and positive way, I say keep on branching out boys, because what you come back with is just great music, meticulously written, and needs no labels. This is Avatar, and this is just what they do.
ikr...i made a near identical comment...thats one of the most addicting bassline's i ever heard...avatar makes such unique gorgeous music...in some ways remind me of fair to midland, a very underrated band....
Should I guess this is a soon to be epic all-time phenomenal bands I just discovered yet has been killing it w/a true and dedicated fan base for years upon years?
That's what happened to me some years back. The first song ever heard by them was Bloody Angel and I am yet to find a song by them that I don't like. And Ive been trying
I am grateful Pandora played the song "Hail the Apocalypse" many years ago. I found every other song easy to get into and immediately preordered Feathers and Flesh with no regret (no put intended).
It's shocking to me that these guys aren't more popular..they are like the swiss army knife of metal bands. So much variety and insane talent, groovy, thrashy, melodic, you name it. This song is fantastic, definitely looking forward to more!
Their versatility is the problem, majority of their sounds conflict fan bases so they end up just getting people to like a few songs and not brother with the rest.
@@99Plastics i get you, some fans like Hail the apocalypes Era, others are like pure death metal while hate Avatar Country and Feather, in opposite. theres other person likes the style of Avatar country and Feather. but after Hunter gatherer. Their fan base are really confuse because we dont know what is "Avatar" supposed to sounds and this start to lose their identity as a band. glad they hit the mark this time.
then again.. Manson created his own genre.. these very words were spoken of him as well (THAT'S MY BOY! 😍💝💝) i do not declare sold out concerts to be fans disregarding these freaks 💝💝💝💝💝💝
@@99Plastics imho it's their advantage, because they would stay TRV and never sold out. However it is sad that American bands get it all like below mentioned MManson or Slipknot (both of whom are great but way richer)
The most versatile band out there today. And by far the most underrated band!!!!! These guys NEVER ever disappoint. This song is no different. So different and I fucken love it!!!!!

There are very few bands that can pull it off. This band is so complete talent wise that I’m irritated they don’t get more recognition. There are so many crappy bands that get more attention.

*2 DAYS-* I'M GONNA HAVE TO WAIT AND STARE INTO JOHANNES'S EYES FOR _2 DAYS_ UNTIL I CAN LISTEN TO THIS MASTERPIECE? If your plan was to make me die from excitement, congratulations! You did it! :"))
Avatar just keeps going from strength to strength. I love the exploration of style between albums while keeping such a great metal foundation. This song is so instantly catchy!
Freaking excellent. A metal band with a neo funk disco groove? This is why Avatar is keeping the metal genre alive and thriving. Accessible, but not afraid to try something new (and actually succeed at it).
you need to check them live! I only found them in 2021 and managed to see them in Edinburgh in August and they were immense! roll on February when we see them again in Glasgow ❤
@@TheCharlieBook I agree. Seem them as the opening act for Iron Maiden in Curitiba, Brazil, and I dare to say they that I had more fun whatching them than Maiden. They are HUGE live. Hope to see then in Brazil again. Hopefully in Curitiba, that is where I live, but they are one of the few bands that I will be willing to travel to see in another city if they come down here.
Words cannot describe just how much I love this song! I absolutely love every era of this band, hell these guys can pretty much play any sub-genre under the rock/metal umbrella. They've got versatility for days!
@@Lucifer_Morningstar_F4LL1N1 no, not at all. It's a nice touch, but really isn't important. In fact, the airline could lose their luggage and they could play in their normal clothes and it would be just as awesome. Just ask the crowd who was there for that, they loved it.
This band right here should be heard more on the radio - - outstanding music for years! This is awesome song guys! Plus, if you have never seen these guys in concert, you are truly missing out!
I can't wait for the new album one of the things I'm most excited for in 2023 and a perfect way to start next year, I wish more people knew about Avatar they're the most underrated band out there.
For years, I've listened to the old stuff, because nothing new gets me excited. This band puts me in a trance. Not just this song, but the entire album. It is beautiful and wreckless. I love it.
Just saw them perform at the Newport music hall. It was crazy. My dad had tickets, I had never really heard their music before. Y’all have a fan for life. Sorry I slept on y’all
Me, a 20+ year metal fan suddenly stumble on this glorious band because YT put it in my recommendations and I've spent the last 2 days going through all your albums....Happy Christmas to me!
That's awesome! I'm a fan since a long time, have seen them playing shows in a small venue with like 50 people audience up to a totally sold out big venue, it has been amazing to see these guys grow. Highly recommend their live shows, they are INSANELY tight live, it's truely an incredible sight to behold.
I’ve Bn into heavy metal my whole life. This is my favorite band right now. Late fan. But the this band has got me thru tha streets for 2 years. HAIL ALL. AVATAR👊🏻🔥☠️⚡️
Incredible work. This song, to me, combines a lot of the elements from Avatar into your newer music. I hope one of you guys in the band sees all these comments. I am so impressed by Avatar. Absolutely adore your music and yet again, another masterpiece is delivered. I'm so thankful for you guys!!
Wow. Just wow. 🤯 I love Avatar for so many reasons already. And now this?! This song is such a diamond, and it is going to propel them soooo much further! What an amazing effort from everyone involved! 👏👏👏
I absolutely love Avatar. Johannaes vocals… what can I say but give me more. These guys are definitely 💯 my favorite band!!! They just keep getting better and better. It’s AVATAR COUNTRY!!!
HELL IS REAL!!! We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. One day our bodies will die, but our souls will continue to live, in the Kingdom Heaven or in the fires of Hell, forever..... If we will repent of our sins and put our faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will be saved from eternal damnation in Hell. Mark 1:15 Repent and believe in the gospel.
I love when songs have a catchy up beat tone but then extremely dark lyrics. If you didnt know by now this song is about desecrated corpses raped and burried in the dessert
This song is so catchy it just infects you lol. I heard it for the first time several days ago and have caught myself singing it randomly everyday since, and it won’t go away no matter how many times I listen to it no wonder it’s a hit. Great job guys, I’m glad I’ve found your music, hope the success continues because it’s good stuff.
Love love love this band. What I really like is their transition from the really heavy stuff(Hail....) to songs like this.. This isnt just great metal, this is frigging amazing music. What a group of massive talent!!!!
At the moment, 10 days to the album release and counting. Can't wait! "The Dirst I'm Buried In" is so different than other Avatar songs and metal music nowadays that I can't stop listening to it. I think now is at least 40th time I listened to it.
I've loved these guys since 2014 and seen them live 8 times in the last 5 years. They never cease to surprise. Hopefully people will be intrigued enough to check out more of their discography, and I hope that they keep an open mind when doing so. Absolute masters at their craft and their song writing capabilities are next to none composition wise. Thank you Avatar, for everything. ❤
as long as theyve been around and as diverse as every singular song is, i have a feeling this is the album thats gonna make them huge. and its long overdue. avatar has helped me get thru a lot of trauma and chaos and im hooked and a lifer for them. love yall so damn much
Smells Like A Freakshow hit the billboard charts in 2013, ten years later they finally got a #1. Congrats Avatar! It is long overdue, you are by far one of the best live acts I've seen!
This Swedish band is another long-running outfit new to my ear. This is a good introduction! A strong singalong melody and chorus and the production are the best features of this catchy Classic Metal number, which also has a great funky guitar hook. It's a must for your general Metal playlist. My Score; Very Good 4*
Just saw them live this last December for the first time with New Years Day, In This Moment, and Ice Nine Kills. Avatar stole the show. Amazing entertainers
This is the song that got me into Avatar, it randomly played after a Ghost song one night. I've since gone back and listened the entire back catalog and loved every single song.
Eu tô feliz que a banda finalmente tá ganhando o reconhecimento que merece eu ouço eles desde de 2017, I'm flying high cuz finally the Avatar have earning the fame that em deserves
I love this band. I've been playing music for 30 years & haven't heard anything like avatar. Great band. Great song. Please keep em coming & play more shows in Sacramento please.
I'm looking forward to the concert next year in Germany and I really like the development, the change of the band to their latest style and art of music. It's really pretty to hear Johannes' voice, not only screaming, but telling us different feelings by modifying his voice in both ways, lower and higher frequences. It's nice to hear him singing for real, as screaming can damage the voice over years. I prefer also the song 'A secret door', as he really has a soft and nice voice in the song, good contrast to screaming titles 😉👍
This is the first time I've heard of this band and within the first 15 seconds I love it, it so different from what I listen to I usually listen to heavier stuff yet I really like this Edit: I listened to more.... God daummmmmn I love this band already
🤣 I am glad you edited your initial comment. It must have been a kick ass moment listening to their heavier stuff. Hail the Apocalypse for me is still a killer hype album, I would really recommend checking our Avatars back catalogue. Keep it metal!🤘
Had never heard of these guys before, but they’re headlining an upcoming show with one of my favorite bands so thought I’d check them out… this is a great song and a fun video!
Llevaba semanas esperando este momento y wow, valio la pena cada segundo, se lucieron y me encantan como suena este nuevo album, sin duda son los mejores. AVATAR
i love how this video portrays what it's like coming up as a metal band. there's so much bullshit until you find those dedicated weirdo fans that will stick with you through thick and thin.
These guys have pushed metal into directions 10 other bands combined can't. They're one of, if not, the most accessible way into metal. Their ability incorporate genres that shouldn't work into the metal ecosystem, and do it flawlessly blows me away. And they're all so genuinely talented on top of it. They've been in my radar for about 6 years, but I go through these periods where I "forget" about them (I'm not a metal guy anymore). As much as that sucks, rediscovering them time and time again is such a treat. For a metal band to make it into my top 10 fav bands in general speaks to their abilities. So glad to see you guys still making fantastic music! From now on, I'm here for it.
Just discovered this band three days ago. Instant fan. Love a band who loves their bassist
If you ever get the chance to see them live please do. It will elevate them a million times. Absolutely the best live show I've ever been to.
I seen them perform for the first time 2 nights in a row on 12/1 and 12/2 ...I am definitely digging what they do

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahaha best coment eveeeeeeerrrrrrr!!!!!
Ahah, hahahaha. Ha, ha...
"Don't look at me - look at the screen!" 🤣🤣🤣🤘
Lol so true
this song doesn't have a normal hook, it has a treble hook and once it catches you, youre stuck forever. so groovy
Makes me want to speed-run anything.
The groove, I can't get enough of the groove
Been hooked on this song since the day it came out
Yea , I'm just finding that out. PRAY FOR ME.😊😊😊
Congratulations on your 1st billboard #1. It's a great song and you guys make great music. Well deserved.
Totally Agree There! The Band Is Finally Getting The Recognition They Deserve!
I saw them in Brisbane, Australia on 27th August. Their First tour in OZ!! They fuckin' killed it on stage !! Avatar are bloody awesome
Avatar deserves even more
@@Komisenkihome true
They deserve so much more
The little dance johannes does on stage at the beginning makes me incredibly happy for some reason
I agree 💯. His little smirk 😏 lol
Me too....its adorable
Same tho
He has that sarcastic look I can completely relate to!
Dude's just vibing and it's great
Jesus I just love those moves so much....this singer has an amazing ability to not give a fuck while being damn serious.
🎶LYRICS🎶
Once upon a highway
Lost among the lights of neon tribes
I used to be a part of you
You used me and I used you too
You took me to the desert
Desecrated, desperate prey, oh yeah
You took me to the desert
I smoke the blackened tissue
High inside the church of the neon lights
I grease my limbs and enter you
The engine roars as enginеs do
The pressure wе are under
Unmarked grave, the undead reign, oh yeah
The stars align
Behind my eyes
I'm going blind
I look up to the sky
But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
Lonely lays the longing
I'm so far away from the world that buried me
An unknown destination
Tied up in the trunk of a stolen ride
I've never seen a sky so red
Just one more try before we're dead
The ashes in our nostrils
Ask for nothing, act like you're ok
The stars align
Behind my eyes
I'm going blind
I look up to the sky
But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
Lonely lays the longing
I'm so far away from the world that buried me
I look up to the sky
But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
Lonely lays the longing
I'm so far away from the world that buried me
A crushing wave
Upon the rocks
A shallow grave
On the coast
I'll wait
I look up to the sky
But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
Lonely lays the longing
I'm so far away from the world that buried me
I look up to the sky
But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
Lonely lays the longing
I'm so far away from the world that buried me
🏅 Your medal my metal lady friend 🤘

Dear blades. Please quit taking urself so seriously
I do not know how you always release music relevant to what I'm going through, but I am so grateful for you all.
You deal with vampires and werewolves too? Heavy bro.
Judging by the lyrics, do you also get kidnapped, put in a car trunk, then killed and buried in the desert? Relatable. Happens to me all the time.

I'm so far away from the world that buried me
An unknown destination
Tied up in the trunk of a stolen ride
I've never seen a sky so red
Just one more try before we're dead
The ashes in our nostrils
Ask for nothing, act like you're okay
The stars align
Behind my eyes
I'm going blind
I look up to the sky
But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
Lonely lays the longing
I'm so far away from the world that buried me
I look up to the sky
But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
Lonely lays the longing
I'm so far away from the world that buried me
A crushing wave
Upon the rocks
A shallow grave
On the coast
I'll wait
I look up to the sky
But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
Lonely lays the longing
I'm so far away from the world that buried me
I look up to the sky
But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
Lonely lays the longing
I'm so far away from the world that buried me
Can we admit that this chorus is a banger?! 🤘🔥
Head banger rock and harmonizing at the same time its excellent well played guys
Hell yes 🙌👍👍
3:15 ok, I did NOT expect this! No matter how many Avatar songs I listen to, they always find a way to surprise me.
He's definitely giving some Peter Steele (Type O Negative) vibes right there and I love it.
*2 DAYS-* I'M GONNA HAVE TO WAIT AND STARE INTO JOHANNES'S EYES FOR _2 DAYS_ UNTIL I CAN LISTEN TO THIS MASTERPIECE?
If your plan was to make me die from excitement, congratulations! You did it! :"))
/boop, come back come back lol
So how'd it go
@@GzusISmyHelmet oh, it was worth it😂 great song!👌
Now all you see is the dirt you're buried in?
Avatar just keeps going from strength to strength. I love the exploration of style between albums while keeping such a great metal foundation. This song is so instantly catchy!
This has to be one of my all-time favorites Avatar songs. It is legendary!
I’m fully convinced this band will never have a bad song 🤘🤘🤘
Your expectations are appreciated.
Definitely have yet to provide a negative one.
Freaking excellent. A metal band with a neo funk disco groove? This is why Avatar is keeping the metal genre alive and thriving. Accessible, but not afraid to try something new (and actually succeed at it).
Absolutely amazing! I started listening to Avatar a week ago and now they’re 100% my favorite band. I love it all❤!
Welcome to the dark side.
you need to check them live! I only found them in 2021 and managed to see them in Edinburgh in August and they were immense! roll on February when we see them again in Glasgow ❤
@@TheCharlieBook I agree. Seem them as the opening act for Iron Maiden in Curitiba, Brazil, and I dare to say they that I had more fun whatching them than Maiden. They are HUGE live.
Hope to see then in Brazil again. Hopefully in Curitiba, that is where I live, but they are one of the few bands that I will be willing to travel to see in another city if they come down here.
Words cannot describe just how much I love this song! I absolutely love every era of this band, hell these guys can pretty much play any sub-genre under the rock/metal umbrella. They've got versatility for days!
These guys opened for Ice Nine Kills and In This Moment. Had no idea who they were before that show, but they blew me away!
This band is one to be appreciated 10x more after you see them live and notice they sound even better then.
For sure
💯
Can confirm. I saw them headlining with Devin Townsend opening. Incredible.
@@tarantul-anvil3851 Jealous man, that woulda been a sick show
Best band of this generation!
I love how the costumes are different for each album. But always remain similar at the core. ♥
Have to keep you guessing!
Their appearance is one of the best things about Avatar
@@Lucifer_Morningstar_F4LL1N1 no, not at all. It's a nice touch, but really isn't important. In fact, the airline could lose their luggage and they could play in their normal clothes and it would be just as awesome. Just ask the crowd who was there for that, they loved it.
First, The Vampire is a smoke show. Second, I love the groove riff...totally different! This band never disapoints.
This is my new favorite song. It’s been on repeat for 2 days
It's my favorite too! For now, at least...
There are some really effective medications for those sorts of ticks these days. 😋
We are metamorphosize in
The ending always gets me
This band right here should be heard more on the radio - - outstanding music for years! This is awesome song guys! Plus, if you have never seen these guys in concert, you are truly missing out!
YEAHH
I heard it on the radio tonight, no lie! That's why I'm here!
This song played on our local rock station few months ago.
They're amazing.
I saw them by accident. Been a fan ever since.
I can't wait for the new album one of the things I'm most excited for in 2023 and a perfect way to start next year, I wish more people knew about Avatar they're the most underrated band out there.
This song scratches that itch in my brain just right. I will be listening to this on repeat for the next month or more.
Sounds somewhat comforting?
Wow Avatar never disappoint me with their music
All in a days work.
For years, I've listened to the old stuff, because nothing new gets me excited. This band puts me in a trance. Not just this song, but the entire album. It is beautiful and wreckless. I love it.
Just saw them perform at the Newport music hall. It was crazy. My dad had tickets, I had never really heard their music before. Y’all have a fan for life. Sorry I slept on y’all
me fascina lo versatiles que son, con ese estilo uno nunca se aburre de oir sus canciones, todas y cada una tiene algo que la hace distinta
Nunca me decepcionan con sus temas nuevos!! LATAM los quiere
Me, a 20+ year metal fan suddenly stumble on this glorious band because YT put it in my recommendations and I've spent the last 2 days going through all your albums....Happy Christmas to me!
That's awesome! I'm a fan since a long time, have seen them playing shows in a small venue with like 50 people audience up to a totally sold out big venue, it has been amazing to see these guys grow.
Highly recommend their live shows, they are INSANELY tight live, it's truely an incredible sight to behold.
This a "crawling back" song. You can run away from this tune a minute but always come crawling back
I’ve Bn into heavy metal my whole life. This is my favorite band right now. Late fan. But the this band has got me thru tha streets for 2 years. HAIL ALL. AVATAR👊🏻🔥☠️⚡️
Incredible work. This song, to me, combines a lot of the elements from Avatar into your newer music. I hope one of you guys in the band sees all these comments. I am so impressed by Avatar. Absolutely adore your music and yet again, another masterpiece is delivered. I'm so thankful for you guys!!
Tim's solo is bone chilling!!!! Can't wait for the full album
Grab your sweater.
Wow. Just wow. 🤯
I love Avatar for so many reasons already. And now this?!
This song is such a diamond, and it is going to propel them soooo much further!
What an amazing effort from everyone involved! 👏👏👏
Just seen them with ice nine kills and in this moment. Avatar should have been the headliner I will just leave it there
Dude avatar and ice nine are my fav bands and they aint come to the west coast with this lineup
Was there my self this song is stuck in my head it won’t go away
@@ericg_2025honestly wasn't a big fan of ice nine kills but avatar was absolutely awesome live
I agree they were the headliner in my opinion as well
Seen these guys 4 times and they do not disappoint. Metallica may be my favorite band but Avatar is a damn near close second.
I absolutely love Avatar. Johannaes vocals… what can I say but give me more. These guys are definitely 💯 my favorite band!!! They just keep getting better and better. It’s AVATAR COUNTRY!!!
Best band of today !! ❤
They definitely are killing it!🤘🏻🇺🇸
best band of EVERY day! 🤩
HELL IS REAL!!! We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. One day our bodies will die, but our souls will continue to live, in the Kingdom Heaven or in the fires of Hell, forever..... If we will repent of our sins and put our faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will be saved from eternal damnation in Hell. Mark 1:15 Repent and believe in the gospel.
They just never seem to miss! Another amazing piece of art.
I love when songs have a catchy up beat tone but then extremely dark lyrics. If you didnt know by now this song is about desecrated corpses raped and burried in the dessert
"The stars align behind my eyes" Characters eyes are glazing over as they pass. Brutal but beautiful.
This song is so catchy it just infects you lol. I heard it for the first time several days ago and have caught myself singing it randomly everyday since, and it won’t go away no matter how many times I listen to it no wonder it’s a hit. Great job guys, I’m glad I’ve found your music, hope the success continues because it’s good stuff.
Don't stop being this good. Can't wait for the full album🤘
Looking forward to this 🤘🏻😍
yes!! one more day to go.....
Saw them for the first time in live at Nimes 2 days ago opening for Gojira. That was a great show I'm now addict to Avatar.
Love love love this band. What I really like is their transition from the really heavy stuff(Hail....) to songs like this.. This isnt just great metal, this is frigging amazing music. What a group of massive talent!!!!
I love this video. Especially as he’s doing his little dance in the beginning!
Avatar's versatility is unmatched, killer song!
Agreed! 🤘🏻
Ghost have this versatility
Always appreciate something new in my days.
Each song is as amazing as the last. You guys are so talented, and your music brings me pure joy. Love you all.
This is the most underrated metal band I've come across considering all of their material.
Avatar and sevendust, for sure.
Mushroomhead
At the moment, 10 days to the album release and counting. Can't wait!
"The Dirst I'm Buried In" is so different than other Avatar songs and metal music nowadays that I can't stop listening to it. I think now is at least 40th time I listened to it.
I love to seeing so many different languages in your comments. Your music speaks to souls worldwide. 🤘🏻💜
I've loved these guys since 2014 and seen them live 8 times in the last 5 years. They never cease to surprise. Hopefully people will be intrigued enough to check out more of their discography, and I hope that they keep an open mind when doing so. Absolute masters at their craft and their song writing capabilities are next to none composition wise. Thank you Avatar, for everything. ❤
Who else found this band in 2024?
lol they just popped up in my feed this morning! Absolutely loving the sound
A guy at work told me about them this morning and this afternoon they showed up on my RUclips shorts. Pretty damn good. I think I’m hooked🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
My band got to open for them back in 2015 and I’ve been a fan ever since
Found them through a Facebook add
I may be old but I'm glad I found this song.. 🤘😎🤘
I cannot stop listening to this song. It’s amazing. Thank you
But did you stop
Repeat!
Never heard of them but saw them live last week, was fucking impressed. definitively going to be a fan
as long as theyve been around and as diverse as every singular song is, i have a feeling this is the album thats gonna make them huge. and its long overdue. avatar has helped me get thru a lot of trauma and chaos and im hooked and a lifer for them. love yall so damn much
I can't stop listening to this song!!! I love it! ❤
omfg! a can't tell how thanks for you guys for being in hungary this year and did a great show for us. hope will see you soon!
Smells Like A Freakshow hit the billboard charts in 2013, ten years later they finally got a #1. Congrats Avatar! It is long overdue, you are by far one of the best live acts I've seen!
This Swedish band is another long-running outfit new to my ear. This is a good introduction! A strong singalong melody and chorus and the production are the best features of this catchy Classic Metal number, which also has a great funky guitar hook. It's a must for your general Metal playlist. My Score; Very Good 4*
0:56 i love that little dance
I discovered this band 4 days ago and now... I'm in love with their music!!! ❤️🔥 Literally every song is so great that I listen to them 24/7!!
looking on RUclips at WHO REALLY INVENTED SATANIC METAL?
Just saw them live this last December for the first time with New Years Day, In This Moment, and Ice Nine Kills. Avatar stole the show. Amazing entertainers
Just saw the same exact show lineup they were my favorite!
This is the song that got me into Avatar, it randomly played after a Ghost song one night. I've since gone back and listened the entire back catalog and loved every single song.
Eu tô feliz que a banda finalmente tá ganhando o reconhecimento que merece eu ouço eles desde de 2017, I'm flying high cuz finally the Avatar have earning the fame that em deserves
Todavía no se estrenó y estoy re manija xrqe se se se viene tremenda obra de arte vieja!!!🤘🤘
Gentlemen, your lyric style has evolved and your ability to write tuneful song hooks is getting better! Cannot wait to see this live! We'll done!
I love this band. I've been playing music for 30 years & haven't heard anything like avatar. Great band. Great song. Please keep em coming & play more shows in Sacramento please.
I'm looking forward to the concert next year in Germany and I really like the development, the change of the band to their latest style and art of music. It's really pretty to hear Johannes' voice, not only screaming, but telling us different feelings by modifying his voice in both ways, lower and higher frequences. It's nice to hear him singing for real, as screaming can damage the voice over years.
I prefer also the song 'A secret door', as he really has a soft and nice voice in the song, good contrast to screaming titles 😉👍
Tower is a freakin banger
1:28 In my gravy, onion ring, Oh yeah!
I read this as soon as he said the lyrics! 😂
I've been listening to this band since 2013, and it's amazing that I never know what to expect from them.
This is the first time I've heard of this band and within the first 15 seconds I love it, it so different from what I listen to I usually listen to heavier stuff yet I really like this
Edit: I listened to more.... God daummmmmn I love this band already
🤣 I am glad you edited your initial comment. It must have been a kick ass moment listening to their heavier stuff. Hail the Apocalypse for me is still a killer hype album, I would really recommend checking our Avatars back catalogue. Keep it metal!🤘
when I first found them, they were all I watched on RUclips for a couple weeks... check out their set at Wacken 2015
Fuckin right? I love the style he commits as well. cooper meet the crow meets clown.
Had never heard of these guys before, but they’re headlining an upcoming show with one of my favorite bands so thought I’d check them out… this is a great song and a fun video!
Just saw you guys in Spokane WA!!! You guys put on ONE HELL OF A SHOW!!! LOVE THE ENERGY!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
i just discovered this band and this band is fireee
Llevaba semanas esperando este momento y wow, valio la pena cada segundo, se lucieron y me encantan como suena este nuevo album, sin duda son los mejores. AVATAR
I usually don't post comments on this kind of videos, but wow!! This is so impressive! I think this new album is gonna be better than the last one!
i love how this video portrays what it's like coming up as a metal band. there's so much bullshit until you find those dedicated weirdo fans that will stick with you through thick and thin.
I just discovered this band today by this song. I thought I heard this song when I was a kid and was shocked that it came out last year
These guys have pushed metal into directions 10 other bands combined can't. They're one of, if not, the most accessible way into metal. Their ability incorporate genres that shouldn't work into the metal ecosystem, and do it flawlessly blows me away. And they're all so genuinely talented on top of it. They've been in my radar for about 6 years, but I go through these periods where I "forget" about them (I'm not a metal guy anymore). As much as that sucks, rediscovering them time and time again is such a treat. For a metal band to make it into my top 10 fav bands in general speaks to their abilities. So glad to see you guys still making fantastic music! From now on, I'm here for it.
