Avatar - Hail the Apocalypse LIVE [HD] 5/17/17

[@KevDawg1992]

Probably the most underrated band ever

[@Starlaangel]

Tobakilacion I have to kind of disagree with you.A lot of poeple haven't even heard of them.Its not like their Metallica where even if your not into their music you have still heard of them. Avatar is still partially an underground band,where if your not "in the scene" you've probably never even heard of them.

[@paulgarcia2180]

Tobakilacion they have grown immensely ten times over!

[@hencytjoe]

They are well known in their native Sweden, lol.

[@KevDawg1992]

Tobakilacion Not a lot of people in the US has heard of them

[@RobWall1218]

Sevendust is the most underrated band ever

[@sethvixen6496]

His discipline not to headbanging in the intro is something to admire

[@nadhu4044]

He's so extra and I love him. He gives everything to his performance and still kicks ass on the vocals. No mic cupping so all that growling is legit. God I love him.

[@ratthawks]

Fucken aye

[@blackmetalchemist]

YES!!! so fucking beautiful to see a modern vocalist not cupping the goddamn mic. Makes my audio engineer side just giddy like a fucking school girl xD

[@nathancail7939]

Swedish people come out of the womb shredding sick riffs. It's just part of who they are.

[@BladesAndDiamonds]

He's always got the most amazing stage presence. Even from watching this on my phone.

[@lowqualitypizza983]

Biohazard Gaming !!! Exactly

[@CKing-di9lt]

We were there LIVE for our 21year olds koolest birthday EVER!!!

[@matthewsmith6537]

The part where e smiled after the intro was next-level lol

[@hollowmade]

Especially spitting out some Swedish snus while doing it. :D

[@anthonyvenedicto518]

@@hollowmade idk. He probably spit out some gum he was secretly chewing before the show

[@Mike_Sierra_2711]

Johannes from 0:56 on: "must...not...headbang..."

[@laishagisselle]

Michael impossible for me

[@FozzyFiend]

Him and Till from Rammstein do this and its so fucking badass just standing still when a brutal riff is going like that!

[@Frans_Zietsman]

Dude. They sound exactly the same in studio. So damn good!!!!

[@jakubgodlewski9104]

Anyone else feeling like his voice gets better over the years?

[@brodiedavison342]

Kuba Godlewski well yeah. Obviously. Schlact and Thoughts of no tomorrow were amazing in my opinion, but their self titled album is when they got out of the "death" stage and more into groove. Then in Black Waltz, Johannes's voice really improved, and it remained the same for their next 2 albums, Hail the Apocalypse and Feathers and Flesh. Their new album, Avatar Country, changed completely. And each song is even different. But I don't think it's improving, but changing who he is and how he performs

[@johnstrika9170]

Without a doubt. I actually only recently discovered them so it's all new to me. It seems, especially in the first three albums, he had a weird screech to his voice. Over the years, his growl had gotten deeper and alot more appealing. IMO, from Black Waltz on, he finally found his pocket.

[@jakubgodlewski9104]

@@johnstrika9170 Well now after 3 years my comment seems to have jinxed it and he sounds awful live lmao.

[@Helaonearth]

I love this. I'm gonna start dancing like Johannes to every song regardless of genre.

[@leviathandiabolo6296]

What an excellent frontman! His voice is just as solid as Randy Bylthe

[@joshuaorton5990]

When I first heard these guys that's who I thought it was lol

[@willhersey3884]

Its like randy Blythe mixed with Mickeal akerfeltd

[@blackmetalchemist]

Now if Randy could occasionally quit cupping the mic xD

[@notramesses4790]

Except way better!

I have never seen such an accurate comment before hahaha

[@aras-dc6ng]

😂😂😂

[@bryanwinchell8065]

The guitar riff in the chorus is just one of those riffs where you’re like “this is something else”. Straight into the breakdown too. What a great song

[@Mike-xp8zc]

Their drummers a beast!

[@hyperlurki5587]

4:04 Water in a gas can.. niiiiiiice

[@richardpowell4281]

Hyper Lurki I never noticed that! May be one of the most metal things ever

[@franciscogalvan4375]

thats not water

[@harlanwilkinson3142]

I do the same thing on stage! I've seen Avatar twice and haven't noticed him doing it too until now!

[@koffeerixon6539]

I'm not really sure about that, could just as well be gasoline =D

[@Dockernan1977]

My new hydration device is officially a gas can now

[@devildollx]

Accidentally discovered this band a few days ago. THANK GOD! I'm fucking obsessed with these guys now. No one will ever knock Misfits out of first place or Ghost from second place in my minds hierarchy of best bands ever, but they've definitely solidified their place eternally in third! Hail the apocalypse!!

[@morphistoslair7265]

see them live when you can. best showmen out there atm

[@devildollx]

robert mckinley They were JUST in Seattle on Halloween and I missed them.... Devastated!!!!

[@misscthulhu4168]

They are a great band. And I too love GHOST. Good taste in music! ✌🏻❤️🤘🏻

[@csis8460]

same ! i was just looking sround for some songs on youtubr, decided to out some Architects on and then i saw a song named "Bloody Angel" and i decided to look it up

[@weirjzw946]

have u heard rats yet? and if so please say what u think

[@nensha5084]

2:27 this man was born to be a frontman

[@sophiayezzi3471]

If the Joker had a band, this is a great band though

[@Revenant_.]

Sophia Yezzi yes I like his style

[@VforVictory0666]

I saw them when they toured with Motionless in White and In This Moment, and while I love MIW, Avatar totally stole the show that day.

[@KaylaRea13]

Avatar makes me so happy! And they're so good in concert!

[@dannyjr7997]

When bands are young...yeah great live.

[@morbidapple5794]

Well just give them like 20-30 years they're might sound raspy around there.

[@bellaventura5061]

Yes

[@MJSpiritual]

One of the best experiences I had was not knowing who these guys were when they played a show I went to. They straight up knocked me on my ass. This band is an absolute blast.

[@hastingspoet2431]

Sounds just as good live as they do studio, fuck yeah!

[@corashapcott2852]

I actually love it when he smiles at the begging it makes me smile so much with utter excitement their so brilliant

[@Averno667]

They live 25 km / 15 miles from me.

[@CryptCreatures]

I'm gong to see then in November! can't wait!

[@cyberneticamoeba1908]

No mic cupping that I've seen, Mr. Fricker would be proud.

[@mikeredrugger]

Seems to be fresh strings on the bass as well... Rule #2 is not in effect here.

[@ndk6139]

Cybernetic Amoeba ...he can actually sing

[@ky9999]

New method: make vocalists hold a cane so that they only have one hand to hold the mic :D

[@unchartedrocks1]

Love his energy on stage.

[@donposey8342]

Why has it taken me so long to discover this band? Amazing....

[@jacksonthomas0177]

I miss their stuff like this, super badass. I remember seeing them in a small venue with no more than 50-60 people when the hail the apocalypse album was just coming out. The new stuff isn’t bad but this is what made me fall in love with them.

[@robertoromo7315]

I saw them yesterday at Domination festival. New fan here🤘

[@TheSnakeman361995]

This band has come a looooong way since they came to America and they're still heading to the top! All hail the clown!!

[@SleepyMongoose]

These guys fucking kill it live. Normally I find live music a bit disappointing, but I just saw these guys and they might be better live than album!

[@ericpeterson7966]

This......is amazing. He sounds great live

[@TheGravar]

This is one of the best bands i have seen live! Very much worth your time and money!

[@drok6692]

I’m so happy these guys put on an amazing live show. I’m an OG KoRn fan from the 90’s and these guys are at that level. I hope they realize I just compared them to royalty.😎🤘🏻

[@Gorila_Animations]

se les nota el amor por su musica, hermoso

[@RPtheceo]

This is definitely my favorite Circus Metal band thus far. That main guitar riff crushes.

[@MoSweiti666]

Most entertaining band live ever!!

[@boomba212]

just discovered these guys. amazing band. really amazing frontman. can't stop watching the beginning of this over and over, when he starts singing and going crazy!!

[@JeffLMB]

I saw these guys open for HellYeah last week (admittedly... had no idea they were even opening) and holy shit dudes, was it an intense show!

[@YYCUrban]

that looks like such a great concert.

[@sinfulpsyche]

saw them at rock usa. honestly did better than most of the bands above them. definitely did better than slayer tbh.... cant wait till they get big enough for a headliner at big festivals like that!

[@Traviolie]

Absolutely no idea why they're not already headlining. These guys are badass!

[@benisultra8416]

If seen slayer 3 times and at rock USA when they got rained out I was still mad but I was happy I went with my girlfried and friend I'm only 29 years old

[@lunytoonz3466]

Still watching this in 2022👀

[@bridgettebateman308]

gonna see them for the first time in january. soooo looking forward to it

They are phenomenal live. Saw them at Brick By Brick in San Diego, awesome. Can't wait to see them again.

[@jeremy.jf.3]

Me gusta mucho esta canción... y la banda perfecta...

[@scott7d]

I don't get into a whole lot of modern music. But god damn I love these guys. Awesome live vocals, where a lot of metal singers fail. And some of the rhythm reminds me of Faith No More back in the 80s and 90s. This band is tight as fuck.

[@marsonsaturn]

Yeah today's times get real weird but there's a few diamonds in the rough

[@nathancail7939]

The Faith No More reference is spot on. Mike Patton is creative and weird and incredible like Johannes is. Such a fitting reference.

[@fringeboi]

I just got into avatar back in February and holy shit what have I been missing

We're proud to have them! Check out Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, Opeth and Ghost (even though they're not really metal)! We've got some great "under-radar" bands at the moment. (Sure they all are well known, but still, I feel like they don't get the attention they all deserve! :))
