About Avatar

This journeyed, eccentric, Gothenburg, Sweden-founded melodic death metal act came together in 2001 and enjoyed major home country success with their fourth and fifth albums: 2009's Avatar and 2012's Black Waltz. It was between these releases that Avatar debuted the look which ultimately defined them, with their lead vocalist Johannes Eckerström presenting himself as a cross between the Joker and a ringmaster leading a group of jesters. It was a distinct image and made Avatar well-known internationally; Eckerström maintained that facade through the release of their ninth album, 2023's Dance Devil Dance.
