Swedish dark crazy metal visionaries AVATAR know it, and their fans adore them. These ambitious wizards of the highest order managed to break the boundaries between band, theater and film. With a number of celebrated albums and videos, they rule the land of AVATAR, the fantasy land where metal rules. AVATAR has both commercial rock radio and a streaming service, and songs like "The Eagle Has Landed", "Hail the Apocalypse" and "Let It Burn" have accumulated more than 100 million streams. They also attracted many new "citizens" to their own Avatar "kingdom".
AVATAR returned in 2020 with a bold manifesto titled "Hunter Gatherer". Their eighth album is a ruthless study of a clueless humanity hurtling ever faster into an uncertain future. Songs like "A Secret Door", "Colossus" and "Age of Apes" are anthems of the modern age, marked by the struggle for society's opinion in the midst of rampant technology.
"Hunter Gatherer" (2020) shares the determined focus of the concept albums "Feathers & Flesh" (2016) and "Avatar Country" (2018), where individual songs are covered by a distinct story. At the same time, there are thematic threads throughout the album, reflecting the state of mind of the band members themselves. "Hunter Gatherer" is the darkest, most sinister vision of AVATAR, with deep studies of cruelty, technology, contempt and deprivation.
AVATAR, these are songs, accurate as missiles seeking the warmth of life. The band is now ready for another journey to gather their "Avatar Country" in one place. The experience that awaits you will be very challenging, daring and extremely captivating.
