My 8 year old daughter and 5 year old daughter love this band. I took the oldest to a show in phx and she knew Johannes by his first name and waved to him perched up on my shoulders and he waved back! Thank you for making your shows a family outing!!
Thats awesome. Were taking my daughter this January. She will be 4. I think she is more excited than I am. Avatar really is great for families and kids seem to love Johannes lol
This band needs to be way more famous than they are. They have a unique look, a unique sound, their guitars are fucking badass, and their songs are great. This vid needs 10 mill views
TexasSmoking Personally, I think John is one of the most interesting and fun drummers to watch play. He makes things more interesting than just playing, headbanging, and making the "Lars face" that EVERY metal drummer over the past 25 years has imitated. But, congratulations. You have an opinion, which I will now validate with attention. Gold star, pal! Feel better?
Agreed! I love watching John, well I love watching all of them. You're right about him having more stage presence than other drummers, his antics are always cracking me up.
D-7734: "Oh, god! SCP-173 has escaped! Shut down the site!" D-5318008: "The one who moves when you blink?" D-7734: "Exactly that one!" D-5318008: "Bring in... the drummer." SCP-173: "Dangit."
This song - and this video - is just a damn good time. Funny, entertaining, and impressive in a musical sense. These guys are amazing. I especially love how wacky the drummer is. He's hamming it up in complete silence and I freaking love it.
@@gustavocruzlima119 They do the kingly style on their shows, you can feel almost as if being in this video. Or at least such it was on the last Masters of Rock edition. You'd have to see the King rising high above the stage on his throne at the beginning of the show, of course - to this song. One of the most amazing concert moments I can recall!
Just saw these guys at rockville. I had been shown them before and I decided that they weren't the type of band I liked, but when I saw their show I was converted. They have one of the greatest stage presences I have ever seen. They are awesome!
Is it just me or did this just came right out of nowhere? I seriously haven't heard anything about a new album of them untill this showed up on my facebook :o
I kinda had an idea something might be coming when i went to buy some merch and most of the Feathers and Flesh stuff was on last chance but i never expected something this good.
I just talked to "the king" himself two weeks ago and we asked about a new album. The conversation got kind of awkward and he denied and tried to avoid talk of anything new.
I was during the whole Feathers and Flesh hype. I didn't know what they were making but they were just posting so many video's and pictures from the production in the studio. Even the skiing video's they posted were related to the studio (for the wind in Sky burial). That was cool. I liked that. But on the other hand randomly bringing a song is nice too. It's like "Good morning! We have a new song for you!"
The way they weave so many sounds and feelings. The guitar riffs stop and turn on a dime. Theh grasp your attention every chorus. And obviously, his voice. One in a million vocalist. What's also great, is he seems like, they seem like, very humble gentleman. Humble gentleman with some serious fucking METAL in their veins!
I've only been watching live videos of theirs, but hearing the album recording makes me appreciate how good he (and the whole band) is live, there's almost no difference!
Ok, this is nuts. I just looked at the tour dates hoping something would be around this YEAR and they are in my city tomorrow night. That’s unreal. Unreal.
You know, I was on a new music trip on RUclips. Just scrolling through checking out random vids of bands. Thumbnail got me on this one. Really glad it did. The singers voice reminds of a couple singers I really like.

The wave at the end completes this. An older joke but still so good - Avatar is really down to Earth in person, and it's great to see they can have a chuckle in their videos like this. Love them to death.
Looking forward to hearing this live. They always put on a great show. I love when they open for bigger bands and people look at me like im crazy. I go nuts when Avatar is on stage! So underrated, they need WAY more recognition!!
Oh hell yes, I just discovered Avatar a few weeks ago, been hooked ever since (so much freaking time lost not listening to them!) and now this gem comes out.. Talk about perfection!
Now with a clown and a king you qualify to be an offical country, Avatar. Not much different than what we got, except with a kickass soundtrack! WHERE DO WE SUBMIT THE IMIGRATION DOCUMENTS SIR?
I'm not typically as into growly vocals (ie black/thrash metal) but there is absolutely nothing I don't love about this band, the instrumentals, the vocals, this video, or simply how I felt watching it for the 100th time in a row. Similar to some of the comments below, I've been a rock/alternative/metal fan for a very long time and absolutely can't believe I haven't heard Avatar before 2020. It will take time fully discovering their catalog but I'm looking forward to it.
Ummmmmmmm how am I just finding the dopest, most unique metal band in all of ze vorld? I turned German for a second for no reason. I’ve never been so sure so quickly that a band will be one of my favorites for the rest of my life. Wow.
When I first saw this video I was a little worried because Kungen was missing. He’s one of my favorite members, but I was relieved when I saw him. Hail to the king!
Seen them live on a festival with big names such as Tarja Turunen and Cavalera Conspiracy... they still came out as a BIG highlight that didn't match, but in many ways overcame their bigger colleagues
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
Okay but seriously, I NEED a musical created by these guys and Devin Townsend. The world needs it.
i know this is old but what if i told you there is one? a legend of avatar country a metal Odessey its on youtube
@@nightninja879 Seen it, loved it and will watch it again. To the best of my knowledge that didn't involve Devin Townsend, but maybe I'm wrong?
My 8 year old daughter and 5 year old daughter love this band. I took the oldest to a show in phx and she knew Johannes by his first name and waved to him perched up on my shoulders and he waved back! Thank you for making your shows a family outing!!
your kid sounds pretty rad.
Thats awesome. Were taking my daughter this January. She will be 4. I think she is more excited than I am. Avatar really is great for families and kids seem to love Johannes lol
Nicole Hunter awesome!! We are going in January too! Next to avatar she loves arch enemy. Female empowerment!
Dominic Sanchez Arch Enemy is amazing I don't blame her. We're seeing them and Trivium Saturday in Atlanta.
Nicole Hunter lucky duck!!! I have to wait until Dec 1st in phx!
That's it, I'm moving to Avatar Country
😊
Wait I wanna go to we can go together
I'm in too!
Not just a holiday destination, a new home♥️
already here, madison, Wi is now offically the capitol of Avatar country!
fun fact, the guitarist name is kungen which is swedish for "king"
I was wondering how many other people were going to catch on to that :-D
Hail King Jonas!
The more you know!
Coincidence I think not
Johny kungen is his nickname not his real name
This band needs to be way more famous than they are. They have a unique look, a unique sound, their guitars are fucking badass, and their songs are great. This vid needs 10 mill views
Nick Weber got 1 mil in a week
Nick Weber .. I hate this look.. i think they where way better in the first album
Should be 10 mil in a week
Those guitars are sick though
Michael Nenreiaa in there first album they were just extremely edgy teenagers I think you need to clarify which album
Avatar Country = Heavy Metal Wakanda
Metakanda
They are an incredible band, they never disappoint the public... Hail the apocalypse, hail AVATAR!
When your drummer has more stage presence than most other bands 0:27
I freaking love John.
And the 3 Johannes-es at 2:24 made me laugh so hard!
true XDDD
Dreadhead thats not stage presence. Hes just playing the drums with a blank look. Big deal
TexasSmoking Personally, I think John is one of the most interesting and fun drummers to watch play. He makes things more interesting than just playing, headbanging, and making the "Lars face" that EVERY metal drummer over the past 25 years has imitated.
But, congratulations. You have an opinion, which I will now validate with attention. Gold star, pal! Feel better?

Agreed! I love watching John, well I love watching all of them. You're right about him having more stage presence than other drummers, his antics are always cracking me up.
THE MORE I LISTEN TO THIS THE BETTER IT GETS
Diagna Fronza I have realized the same right now
in a way that would indeed suck but they *really* deserve to get big
That's actually how music work... Your brain love repetitions

So SCP-173 is a weeping angel? ;)
Why prisonners (D-class) knows who's SCP 173 and want to reconfine him? And why they take decisions about the site? XD Ok I'm annoying X)
@@sucrenpoudre7593 Hush, you. Don't be bringing stuff like canon into the joke. xD (It's all good. I'm just ignorant. ^_^)
This song - and this video - is just a damn good time. Funny, entertaining, and impressive in a musical sense. These guys are amazing.
I especially love how wacky the drummer is. He's hamming it up in complete silence and I freaking love it.
They deserve to actually play a show that big
Cojo1225 They kinda have already
PlusVict where?
Cojo1225 I don't remember where it was. It was one of there biggest crowd though. I think it was a festival
but, it should have this king (ly) style, it'd be freaking awesome
@@gustavocruzlima119 They do the kingly style on their shows, you can feel almost as if being in this video. Or at least such it was on the last Masters of Rock edition.

Love this band.
Johannes is so theatrical 😂 I love it!
He's a fresh stage man. A little Alice, a little Corey and a lot of himself.
Bottom line, this shit is just 🤘🤘🤘
WHAT IS THIS? WOOOOOO! I AM SO HAPPY
I had a dragongasm when I saw it.
not the only one, by the way... are you from Balkan
Mara, talking to me? (youtube still defeats me, who the fuck coded this shit?)
+Adam “Drakon” Ames by the way, youtube is really shitty when it comes to comment section
+Known Mara indeed it is, so uh... I guess if you ARE asking me: nope, I'm from Australia
It makes me so happy to see the citizens of Avatar Country dancing to your songs. Makes me even more excited to see you guys!
If you watch closely right at 0:52, it can be observed that Johannes very briefly but definitely humps the podium, for one thrust. This was well-done.
Lol!Yessss!
I have never been this early before. Can’t wait for the new album!!!!
Avatar, you made my day ^ ^
Paweł 666 mine too, even though the day already went really well ^^
Paweł 666 Agreed
Your profile pic made my day 😄😄
I’m starting to think the drummer never blinks
LOL
He must be a race car driver
He is a beast!
He is awesome live, just hunched over the drum set staring everyone down. An absolute animal
@@blingking7933 yup lol seen them 2 times now and were front row. He stares at everyone the whole time like a robot haha
All the songs have king in the title, I have feeling it's gonna be an amazing story
BellumNine yes
Oddly enough, this isn't a concept album according to Johannes. So technically there won't be a story.
Oh really? That's good to know thanks for the info :)
BellumNine You're welcome. Johannes posted it on his Twitter recently if you want to check it out for yourself.
Hail to the King isn't...
Double pedal part with clear singing = genius
Billy AND clean guitar tones... BEAUTIFUL textures, yet still heavy AF
Was thinking the same thing. Loved those sections of the song.
Billy beautiful is it
My favorite as well
oh man, you should listen to Fleshgod Apocalipse, particularly "The Egoism" at about 3:10 :D
Just saw these guys at rockville. I had been shown them before and I decided that they weren't the type of band I liked, but when I saw their show I was converted. They have one of the greatest stage presences I have ever seen. They are awesome!
Hail Avatar! These guys deserve more!
Is it just me or did this just came right out of nowhere? I seriously haven't heard anything about a new album of them untill this showed up on my facebook :o
Destructive Revange They haven't told anything as far as I know, but it's just so cool to get to hear a new song. 😊
Thank god I wasn't the only one, thought I'd missed something =D

Neither, they always take me by surprise, sneaky fuckers ;)

Every song is so different, soo much talent an chemistry is awesome , they prolly put on a hell of a show
THESE GUYS ARE INSANE LIVE!!!!!
I've seen them live in green bay and holy sh@# your right.
adding to old post, absolutely, I've seen them twice in Denver, will be happy to see them again... hopefully soon.
I've never opened a video so fast
Same!
Same af
Same !!
Same
Me too! I actually spilled my hot coffee. It was worth it, in fact.. LET IT BUUUUURN !!

Hail to the king baby!
Man I saw them on the feathers and flesh tour... Simply amazing
2:20 - 3:00 is possibly the best 40 seconds in rock/metal history
Amazing !!!!!!
New outfits ? Wow
Mojżesz Święty new album, new style, new outfits. Its their pattern.
Hail Avatar!
I am soooooooo thankful for AVATARS music. I’m always lifted up once listening to it.
You know, I was on a new music trip on RUclips. Just scrolling through checking out random vids of bands. Thumbnail got me on this one. Really glad it did. The singers voice reminds of a couple singers I really like.
This band needs an award for how badass their videos are.
I'm half asleep due to painkillers, but when Avatar release a new clip, it has to be watched.
Liam Jorgensen Oh,I hope you will get better soon ^^
But is it THE painkiller?
True dat
Ditto and fucking agreed!
Oxy, Tili are damn good... sadly too good :/
This is awesome, thank god there are a few bands doing something original
Lyrics:
On this glorious day we're all citizens
By all your warrior's names we swear diligence
Lay the first stone we lay at your feet
All the world trembles, begs and flees
Everybody wants one
Everybody needs one
Everybody heard the word, it's a sign
Well, no one else can make one
If you're the one to take one
But I know that you know
You know, that I don't lie
Everybody wants one
Everybody needs one
But they don't grab a stone, the rocks, the box
So they can own your sword
But we don't wanna share one
We have worked so hard, so hard, alone
Harder than steel is my king's will
Emissaries, dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen
My beloved citizens
It is time to ignite the mighty flame
Of the royal beacon
And then unveil the statue of our ruler
We celebrate, we built
A statue of the king
Bigger than the last one
Bigger than the best one
Bigger than the tracks we drag to these trains
There's nothing to compare to
No one can prepare you
But I know that you know
You know, that I don't lie
Stronger than the last one
Bigger than the best one
Make it from the stone and rocks and moss
So you can try to make one
Cause we ain't gonna show one
We all worked so hard, so hard, so hard
Emissaries, dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen
My beloved citizens
It is time to ignite the mighty flame
Of the royal beacon
And then unveil the statue of our ruler
We celebrate, we've built
A statue of the king
Harder than steel is my king's will
Emissaries, dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen
My beloved citizens
It is time to ignite the mighty flame
Of the royal beacon
And then unveil the statue of our ruler
We celebrate, we've built
A statue of the king
Awesome!! 🙏🏼😚
Thanks
LUIS FERNANDO RODRIGUEZ ATRISTAIN You forgot the AAAAA part :P

Grande AVATAR
hesher Romero Si es una gran banda!!!
Durante más desconocida mejor
@@alexanderochoa701 para ti, para ellos no
Confirmo
Why am I just now discovering this band?!
WTF THEY'RE SO GOOD!
In my opinion Avatar makes the best music videos.
the amount of joy this brings me is beyond comprehension
I saw them this summer and Kungen started the show playing this song in
his throne, the most epic, badass thing I've ever witnessed.
Glorious! Haha. Can't wait to see you guys live again!
Thank you Avatar!
Avatar are insane and genius at the same time.
The wave at the end completes this. An older joke but still so good - Avatar is really down to Earth in person, and it's great to see they can have a chuckle in their videos like this. Love them to death.
I wish more bands would make videos at least half as good as Avatar does! AWESOME!
The tone and presentation of this track make an absolute pleasure to watch. That was entertaining as hell, thank you.
this band needs more recognition. they're underrated as f
Looking forward to hearing this live. They always put on a great show. I love when they open for bigger bands and people look at me like im crazy. I go nuts when Avatar is on stage! So underrated, they need WAY more recognition!!
Nathan Robert ironically i think they actually put on the better show compared to who they open for.
Amazing BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOVE FROM GRECCE brothers 💙💙💙💙
New album!?!?! Hell yeah
Oh hell yes, I just discovered Avatar a few weeks ago, been hooked ever since (so much freaking time lost not listening to them!) and now this gem comes out.. Talk about perfection!
you gotta listen to their discography, or, well at least from the Hail of the Apocalypse album, forth
You need to go see them live
intending to do so, judging from those tracks, they must have many good ones and I am absolutely ready to listen to them
Jjztv76z if this ever happens, I am going to be glad as hell, I have watched videos of their live performances and it looks like they are killing it
marievie91 you are so right
The drummer's facial expressions are incredible, I'm so lucky to have seen them totally blind going in.
Thank goodness for this band and ghost real song writing and singing hard rock and melody
Allen Saunders dude ghost is the shit!
Allen Saunders couldnt agree more
Sweden just produces great bands
@Jasper Abyss they are a wierd band, they remind me of like psyclon 9(industrial metal band that sounds like laser tag music)
avatar musically shits on ghost. the nameless ghoul guitar players couldnt lick the kings boot. and johaness can out sing papa any day of the week
I just started listening to Avatar around a month ago, but it is already one of my favourite bands and I am so happy about this epic song!!
The change in his voice amazes me. How he changes so quickly
don't know if it's already been mentioned but every time he says "hey"a t the end, a firework explodes in perfect time.
Every single one of Avatar's videos looks like it must've been one hell of a lot of fun to film, ngl
I have had the pleasure of seeing Avatar 3 times in the last 12 months,,,STILL NOT ENOUGH!!!!! My new FAVORITE BAND!
You are so lucky..I am from Greece and I don't really know if I will be able to see them live at least once in my life....
Now with a clown and a king you qualify to be an offical country, Avatar. Not much different than what we got, except with a kickass soundtrack! WHERE DO WE SUBMIT THE IMIGRATION DOCUMENTS SIR?

This has a little bit of everything!!! Perfect for when you don't know what you want to listen to.
Can't wait for this album!
Johannes rocks every outfit he's in. Including that turtleneck. How???
0:13 is that John Cooper from Skillet?
Coke keeps the infernal blinking at bay.
Release the bloody album out already!
Avatar since 2016 and forever !
This song is amazing live. The band didn’t ask for one, but the crowd set up a pretty great wall of death. It was sick.
Never opened a notification this fast
Notification fast, heart beating, palms sweaty, mom's spaghetti.
Seriously though, same.
I need to be able two thumbs this up one isn't enough. Avatar are the greatest act I've ever seen in my life J has insane vocals

And months too...
THANK YOU DAVE & JOHN FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THIS EPICNESS!!!
One of the most underestimated bands in metal. Never ever heard anything like that before!
I have never head of these guys before, this is great!
When I first saw this video I was a little worried because Kungen was missing. He’s one of my favorite members, but I was relieved when I saw him. Hail to the king!
Oh hey, another extremly talented scandinavian band. Thanks for making me feel like shit not to live there... Imagine all the concerts..... =_=
TheSilentHorizon If you're new to them, listen to their last four albums.
*insert pitiful dancing*
Seen them live on a festival with big names such as Tarja Turunen and Cavalera Conspiracy... they still came out as a BIG highlight that didn't match, but in many ways overcame their bigger colleagues
TheSilentHorizon they’re from Sweden
Look up scandinavian pls.

Johannes face at 2:27 plus the scream it's perfect. 😂😂😂😂😂
Are you sure you got the right time? There was no scream then, and Johannes was headbanging. You couldn't see his face.
