Avatar is a stylish groove metal band from Sweden. In contrast to most Scandinavian metal, Avatar is considered almost light and fluffy, burgeoned by their storied videos and almost folksy themes. The line-up is Johannes Eckerström (lead vocals), Jonas “Kungen” Jarlsby (guitar), Tim Öhrström (guitar), Henrik Sandelin (bass), John Alfredsson (drums). Alfredsson and Jarlsby were the first to team up, after meeting while performing in different bands.
Avatar’s albums and charts have made pretty solid top-forty charts in Sweden, Billboard US Indie, and Billboard US Mainstream. They’ve toured with artists including September Mourning, Saint Diablo, Gemini Syndrome, Five Finger Death Punch, Impaled Nazarene, Evergrey, In Flames, and Mushroomhead. They’re also a regular fixture at the Rock on the Range festival.
