Avatar - 'Let it Burn'

Watch Avatar rock out in this exclusive video for 'Let it Burn'

[@benbedwell343]

This guy has one of the best voices I've ever heard for metal. Thunderous growls and Halford-like high pitch screeches. Plus a pretty damn good singing voice to top it off. What a showman.

[@Tarynyel]

Ben Bedwell Hell Yeah! Even my dad...who HATES Growling or anything like it really loved Avatar. Couldn't believe it.....

[@derekwhite9932]

That's awesome!

[@marzinvades8765]

Ben Bedwell you have obviously listened to nothing metal at all if you think he has a great metal voice. Listen to cradle of filth (early stuff, none of their new crap) pantera, lamb of God, Brojob, infant annihilator etc.. Now that shit is metal. This is pop music for posers.

[@CollinDinninger]

Shut up. You're worthless.

[@calvingross9132]

@MarzBarz You are one of the reasons why metal music is suffering. Not you in particular, but everybody with the same mind set. I am a metal head, and a fan of music in general. If you limit your self (musicaly), you make your self sound stale and rehashed. (see ac/dc) Having a diverse musical palate is a good thing and leads to great stuff like avatar. I do like most of the bands you listened to, but you need to open yourself up to new sounds. Also who gives you the right to say what is and isn't metal o.o.

[@peterpalkoci1357]

This song can never be loud enought.

[@kyssedbyfyre915]

I was at a show, on the barricade, the sound literally deafened me for days. THAT was FINALLY loud enough. God it felt good in all the right places🤪😁❤️ *few videos from that show if you wanna check em out, one BEAUTIFUL rendition of Tower)*🥰

[@deanleonard9984]

Agreed..the louder the better

[@Revdiee]

I don't care if any of you believe me or not, but the vocalist was one time standing in for our teacher in German class. He was a really swell guy and even taught us some basics in growling and screaming.

[@namelessrobin2323]

my old Swedish teacher know them...

[@TheVralapa]

He used to work at a day care.. :P

[@leahblythe6908]

That would be awesome to have him as a teacher.

Makes sense in German class.

[@biagi150]

Was listening to an interview with these guys on Octane recently, the most awesome thing I found out was that the lead singer is a Kindergarten teacher. How GREAT is that!!

[@TheRawkhead87]

Haha that is so fucking cool. I know what school my kids will be attending ;)

[@struedel25]

That was a great interview! Johannes was talking about the grunge scene changed rock for the better.

Not for long. They make great music. No need to go back to a shitty job.

[@lilsiinner1082]

[@jordanwennberg3796]

Not really nerds.. lol. But it's always nice to know a great band has personality off stage as well.

[@spikeyninjaplayz1842]

They've made multiple songs about Starcraft and they covered a South Park song. I'd say they're nerds

I accidentally clicked on this, I had never actually heard of this band. I was about to leave but when I heard the guitar I just kind of stayed. Very impressed.

If you like this riff, you should check out cowboys from hell! Just a heads up, it basically the same riff and a much better song

[@morganowen-rees2419]

Those high note screams need to be used more. Holy fuck is it a good scream.

[@MattyEvan]

+morgan owen-rees Check out Queen Of Blades :)

[@dereknoll1499]

Reminds me of Bruce Dickinson a little

[@Jumpsuit13HEYPEOPLETHISISMYURL]

no...

[@taylortafoya2425]

+Jumpsuit 13 (Some Guy) What the fuck are you talking about. Those are god like screams. He can do growls and screams like Bruce Dickinson or Rob Halford. That is unheard of. Let him do more of those screams, but only in songs where they would fit.

[@Jumpsuit13HEYPEOPLETHISISMYURL]

Taylor Tafoya yo i didnt mean it like that i meant that i dont associate iron maiden with avatar, i like both bands i just dont associate the different styles

[@That_Metal_Dude]

One of the best bands on the last 15 years. hands down.

[@gaberoyalll]

100% now 20 years and still !

[@jdreed68]

@3:02 No one knows how difficult a scream is going into a growl, until you try it.

[@ajalonzo2705]

Depends on the kind of growl you switch to. False chord/guttural omg it’s fucking torture. More of an exhale that you push more air into? That’s more doable.

[@ItsdaFittySimp]

@@ajalonzo2705 ok bud

[@michalzakrzewski4996]

Most underrated band i've ever seen

[@borealisbassandart2209]

No words can describe how true that statement is! Avatar is way too underrated!

[@nondorian]

Believe it or not, they sound even better live! If you have a chance to see them, GO!

I did twice and seeing them live is no joke. When they do a live show they don't fuck around they do it and do it right the first time

They are addictive. They are so good, every song makes you want to listen to another song, they're all good. These guys are sooooo talented.

[@AreBoobsPenises]

Holy fuck the singer is tall! And this band is soooo beast. I'm loving this.

[@JenniferCowlishaw]

has a wicked fkn voice

[@JenniferCowlishaw]

+Kylie Savage nope, not weird at all, I have a massive crush on him!!

[@drewedwards7992]

Cant overstate enough how the decision by the drummer to play it straight up impacts the drive of the song. So many metal drummers might want to spice it up with some double bass or fancy 32nd note fills but this dude keeps it slow, right in the pocket. Awesome example of the pocket being applied to metal music.

[@birbopikle6431]

Simplicity can add a helluvalot of spice. It's something a lot of musicians forget that.

[@oiboots88]

his vocal rang is amazing real talent

[@MattyEvan]

These guys look like they'd be fucking insane live!

[@WillicusAwesomeus]

They are! They came to Erie, PA and played a show at Basement Transmissions (small-time local venue). It was the best show I've been to!

[@MattyEvan]

Yeah man. They always put on a great performance.

[@brittneykay2722]

[@makeityourself1]

You will NEVER go wrong at an AVATAR concert!!!! They bring it every single time!! LET IT BURN absolutely kills live🤘🤘 Biggest mistake in metal is to have AVATAR be your opener....might as well walk out and say goodnight when they are done.

[@TheDarryle]

The song sounds like Southern Rock meets Metal and they had child. I can hear Hatchett and Skynard along with Maiden in the guitar. This song is just fun to listen to. I want to see it live and in person. I hope they come close to Bristol TN

[@strider1870]

holy fuck!!! Where has this band been all my life!?!?!?! THAT WAS A FUCKING SHOW MAN!!!

[@Floppy_Bacon]

This song gets better and better every single time I hear it. LOVE AVATAR!!

[@purplecoffin07]

I discovered Avatar in around maybe 2022/23…ish, cannot remember exactly when, but ever since, I’ve been a citizen of Avatar Country. Everyone in Avatar kicks ass!! Johannes, John, Henrik, Kungen, Tim..all of em!! I am so impressed with Johannes’s versatility vocalwise, and he’s a goofball too!! ❤

Without a doubt. Some of the guitar riffs have you moving your body without even realizing it. I remember listening to Bloody Angel and before I knew it, I was doing the most ridiculous dance.

[@drago2021]

I don't know where you're from, but here in SoCal, concerts get kinda dull. Like, Mayhemfest and Knotfest were great. Awesome bands. But there'd only be 2 or 3 people in the pit that got really into it. Kinda killed the mood for me :/

[@taylortafoya2425]

Come to NC. I was at a venue and the whole place turned into a pit, granted Phil Anselmo knows how to work an audience.

Between the cuts and cries You'll find a way to die Just take a sip And twist it like a knife A city full of sound Too late to turn around You need to flee the light To save your life You like when it hurts? Let it burn! Let it burn! You ain't sure what came first Was it your flame or thirst? You need to please them both To put you out Another wasted youth You thought you'd seen the truth We need to find a voice To help you shout I like when it hurts! Let it burn!
