a smiling Johannes in front of a carousel is the most adorable thing I've ever seen in all of my life

I FOUND IT!!! I heard this song YEARS AGO at a Halloween party. I was looking for this song for a good 5 years before it showed up in my recommended!! One of the only times I'm grateful for the youtube algorithm. I'm so glad I found it.

[@ghoste_girll]

To hear this song at a halloween party sounds amazingggg

[@Emosceneboy97]

Yaszzzz

[@Wesmancan]

Good for you. Be more diligent in your investigations you will find a lot more. Metal rules.

[@chcrlxttc]

playing this at a halloween party is crazy omg

[@DiamondEyes2K10]

The staff said when they were shooting this video, the part where they had playback rolling while Johannes rode the swings was one of the creepiest things they've ever seen ahaha

[@NikkiSixxIsALegend]

Yeah, that sounds like avatar all right... It's so creepy it's bloody brilliant!

[@butterfly9560]

Why would thye even think that? It was perfect. It's something he felt he had to do, maybe even liked it.

Fucking love that beautiful man, mark my words. Avatar will be legendary one day. They've got it 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Wesmancan]

@@kimmi8902they need to put out a lights out album. The real difference of a killer metal band. Tho they will never be Pantera. 3 good songs an album doesn’t cut it. They are good mad respect. I want to see them turn it up one more time.

[@Sin_Respawn]

So this is the 1st time Johannes used the "Clown" facepaint. This guy was born to be a legend. Hail AVATAR!

[@prettypalepinkpeonies1645]

Long live the Clown!

[@sarahweber3823]

I like his clown make up,kinda reminds me of The Crow.

[@apokalypthoapokalypsys9573]

​@@sarahweber3823everyone says that, but he's more like Gilles de Rais from Rage of Bahamut: Genesis.

[@LulfsBloodbag]

Honestly my favourite part about this song isn't the music, the lyrics, or the video. It's the fact that it used triple meter, just like a waltz. If you listen to the drums and guitars and count them, you'll notice that it goes in a pattern of 1 2 3 whereas most songs will go 1 2 3 4. It's such a cool, tiny detail.

[@ajs787]

Hence the name. I could EASILY imagine Gomez and Morticia Addams waltzing to this. Heck, I'd love to waltz to this! If I knew how to waltz.

[@Tomn123456789]

Saw Avatar for the first time last November as a warm up act for 5 finger death punch and avenged sevenfold. Had never heard of them before and now I cant stop listening. Such an underrated band!

[@AbsoluteTitt]

Wembley? That's where I saw em. I knew the band well before that gig, (I'm a huge melodeath fan) and was shocked to see em opening for Avenged.

[@wyatthinsley7545]

Sawed-off Orc if thing keep going the way they are in ten years A7X will open for avatar

[@mrlips1568]

Man I love this video. Not because of the gruesome acts but because of how happy he is when he sees/ is on the ride. It makes me think that his on stage character was once a circus actor but he got sacked because of his acts, and now he misses his acts and wishes he can do them again

[@LatishaRoberts]

True, true

[@chcrlxttc]

yes so true!

[@ironzeppelin354]

He is the metal clown after all

[@1994khalid24]

funnily enough this music video and the album cover’s shoot is exactly what made him commit to the whole clown act

Black Waltz LYRICS I entered the house On the hill one day Trying my best just to get away No one was home But the voices were clear They let me know I was welcome here Life is so wonderful Life is so beautiful, Stay a wile No one gets out alive Life is so wonderful Life is so beautiful, Just smile No one gets out alive I walked down the halls Of that haunted place A whisper was leading me Through the maze Promising warmth Knowing my name Knowing my reasons And why I came A face in a painting Looked down on me Smiled at me loving and tenderly Reached out her hand Stroking my hair Suddenly voices were everywhere

I was so happy that when i finally got to see them last week they played this song live. It is such a beautiful song but it sounds so dark and grim. It's easily my favorite song of theirs, it's hard to stand out but it does in a sea of unbelievable songs. The performance live was incredible too!
