I bet they all were lounging around in the recording studio, and Johannes was like:
"So, guys, what challenge should we try for the upcoming album? Any ideas?"
Kungen, playing with a little paper crown: "Why don't we make a whole fucking album about how awesome I am?"
Tim: "Hold my beer..."
This is the best thing i have read ever
This is my new religion
honestly, im all for it. if he's not sitting on a throne at some point during their upcoming tour it'll be an opportunity missed.
This comment.. greatest thing ever read!
Thanks, you made my day bro.
I keep thinking of that old interview where Johannes revealed that he was nervous to ever do clean vocals and thought his were super weak.
These guys can do anything together. It's super inspiring.
Johannes vocals whether harsh or clean are amazingly beautiful.. this band can pull it all off
I think his clean vocals are excellent! Helluva front man & helluva band!
If our King's reign will be as glorious as his hair, then he shall rule forever!
Glad to see you are as excited for Avatar as we are mate
Rocked Its even better in person. I just came from their concert tonight in San Antonio.
Rocked why do you think he became king in the first place? Because of the hair, of course!
Holy shit, I just realized it was a fight between dubstep and metal

"Heroes die young that's fine, I'm still a child inside"
This one lyric in particular just gets to me. So beautifully hopeful and optimistic.
I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!
That's funny as shit man Thanks
The cowbell the FUCKING COWBELL
This band is really underrated.
yea
maybe because they stolen riff from In Flames - Zombie inc?
But made it better
This is the most underrated comment tbh.
i dont know how many times ive heard that
2:26
Imagine if war was like this. You need to play a badass solo to do damages.
*enemy on the other side*
- hey, that sounded really rad
*fucking dies*
Judging by your pfp, you have fucking awesome taste in music.
the king is a bard
Magick is real. Why would there be high presets and mages in history example Merlin and Alexander. We fight like this when we master ourselves. Search joy of Satan if you want to fight like that irl. Read around all is truth.
The King wants...
MORE COW BELL!!!
HAIL AVATAR COUNTRY!!! ;)
I love to read the comments that expect any kind of style consistency from Avatar. I hope that the next album after this one is a ska album
miqvPL for real though. Ska would be awesome. People just shouldn't assume that things always stay the same
yeah many ppl don't seem to get what Avatar themselves stated often enough: they are always changing their style.
Ska-metal stuff would be bloody awesome tho. I mean on FnF they did abit of a death-country tune with black waters.
Or the death-country and drop-of-hawaiian mixup they did with use your tongue.
You got dark future apocalyptic. Next one may be the skate one
I hear a lot of 80's classic metal in this and I love it.
That's the reason I don't really like the songs that have come out so far for this album. lol
Kevin I love it all, what ever they want to do I'm down for it. I hear a lot of influences that went into this, I even hear A little bit of the softer Black Sabbath sounds in my opinion, I hear classic 80's all over this. I don't see anything wrong in dabbling in classic it's better than dabbling in mainstream. This song by far is the most different, but different is not bad. You don't want to keep making the same tune over and over Not even Alice Cooper did that especially with his new album, I only heard some short clips of the songs but I like them.
Nobody said they had to make it all the same. I like the majority of their songs on the last 3 albums. Didn't really care for the first album. Some of their lighter songs like Tower and Sky Burial are my favorites. I just don't like the 80's metal/Iron Maiden type music.
Kevin I do, I just dislike when people are so quick to be like they need to go back to their roots, they themselves have said they don't consider themselves a certain genre. It's the comments that I keep seeing, but I wasn't going to not reply when someone comments me. Just my opinion not trying to fight, but if you dislike it I don't I love it.
Oooh that's probably why I can't really get into this.
This is really awesome! This band never fails to amaze me. It's risky to change your style that much, but Avatar definitely knows how. They never disappoint.
Silent Assassin
They didn't really change it, they just mixed their current sound with their old sound from the album's before Hail the Apocalypse.
DaretoDream 0 That's true, but every release has a different sound, which in my opinion isn't bad at all
Silent Assassin
Good point. Which is why it's always fun with the new albums! I especially love this new one, since it sounds so much like the old ones!
All hail the Queen and our new King!
DaretoDream 0 Yes, I definitely agree with you \m/
DaretoDream 0 lol this doesn't sound at all like their old stuff
This is the song that got me into Avatar. Didn't like it at first but sometimes the best music has to grow on you. Avatar is now my favorite band. There fucking amazing live.
My favourite part of this clip 1:46-1:59...
that drummer...that moves...
..I like it)
I love how every album has a very different sound. This band is constantly reinventing itself
I am absolutely blown away by the depth and humor these guys are putting down.
I humbly bow before the king.
My favorite moments are : a) when we see the look in Kunge's face as his army is sorrounded by the invaders and b) how Johannes turns towards his king to hug/protect him. I am so hype to listen the whole album 🤗
they make awesome songs like you can actually feel it they're so into what they're doing and trying make their own thing you know!! it's kinda rare to find such passion nowadays ugh they deserve more appreciation and recognition
No, that's not "rare" to find that kind of band, you just need to go a little bit off-track sometimes
if you are new to Avatar, please do yourself a favor and listen to the older albuns as well, (at least until black waltz), youre not gonna regret it.
Tim Öhrström used Hyper Beam 3:28
...
Its Super Effective
Kubilay Bozca i laughed harder than i should 😂
@@U0XOfficial What? Johannes is quoted as saying "Hitler, Stalin, what's the difference?" He's against all forms of authoritarianism, including Stalinism.
I would watch a movie based off this album any day every day.
I seriously love everything about this band!
Dominic Sanchez me too
Same here
Me too
Something's wrong with you if you don't
I hate everything about this band
I love that combo of Henrik's bass & John's drums from 2:48 - 3:05 so awesome!
This song is great but my top 5 Avatar songs are still: Tower, When the Snow Lies Red, New Land, Night Never Ending, and Queen of Blades!
What a PUZZLING selection! :)
~sees tower~ ahh a men of culture as well... (i would add paint me red)
This is what a true artist looks like. This band is amazing!!
OMG I`m so excited for the new album!!!!
2:20 "YOLO" killed me hahaha
I'm amazed by how many different voices the lead singer has
Avatar is the best rock/metal bands I've heard in a long time. They are keeping it fresh and interesting. They slay live!!!!
Never thought I'd ever be hyped for a sequel to a music video, but here I am eagerly anticipating what "to be continued..." will bring :P
RockinAfr0666 same
A single word .... PERFECTION
Avatar: The only band that can make a song that sounds nothing like them but exactly as awesome as anything they would normally write at the same time.
All hail the Queen! The Queen of Blades!!
Fantastic song!!! Can't wait to listen to the whole album and see them live again!!!!!!!
Song has grown on me. I think its the most underrated band in years.
935 views. Pressed like before even watching it. Avatar has never dissapointed me.
1:33 the guy with the cow bell amplifier is everything
i love tim and henriks litter side to side
Avatar are one of those bands where I don't always like their new stuff at first listen, but from the second listen on I love it. And for people who are saying that they don't like how much thy changed their sound, Avatar are one of the most experimental metal bands of the 21st century. They started as a melodeath band with their first three albums but starting with Black Waltz onward they have had no specific sound.
\\\\\\\!!!!!!!ALL HAIL AVATAR!!!!!!!///////
Loving the originality in this one. The album will surely please our glorious King!
I really don't understand much of anything in this video, but I DO know that I am likely witnessing the greatest story ever told.
Johannes for president!
here the lyrics :
A train in the distance
I hear the whistle
A lonely tune calling
Telling where the wind is blowing
At the station
An army's waiting
Spent my whole life not growing
Now the whole world is coming
I don't know why we're fighting
I just know that I'm going
A chip on my shoulder
Everyone's getting older
Heroes die young, that's fine
I'm still a child inside
[?] you are a soldier now
The wind [?] right on
Can't kill and drag us down
We're crowning gods, we'll keep our fortress strong
The best of the greatest
The greatest but few
The soon to be heroes
The king wants you
The king wants you
Sixteen years, my mother's son
Now a big boy wielding guns
Marching, falling, getting up
Never knew how to stop
Wrote a letter
Said things are better
Taught me how to fight and die
I wish I knew how to live and lie
I don't know where we're going
It's better to go without knowing
I'm ready and willing
Literally make a killing
If it's a game, it's all the same
As long as someone knows my name
[?] you are a soldier now
The wind [?] right on
Can't kill and drag us down
We're crowning gods, we'll keep our fortress strong
The best of the greatest
The greatest but few
The soon to be heroes
The king wants you
The king wants you
(The king wants you)
(The king wants you)
Left, right left
Left, right left
Look to the king
All eyes on the king
All hail the king
The best of the greatest
The greatest but few
The soon to be heroes
The king wants you
The king wants you
The king wants you
The king wants you
Emanuel I believe it’s Kid you are a soldier now the wind upon which all his words ride out
this is part of the second verse
"16 years my mother's son
Now a big boy with big guns"
and the chorus is:
"Kid you are a soldier now
The wind upon which all his words ride out
Kid you're killing dragons now
With crown and guns we'll keep our fortress strong"
"The best of the greatest
The greatest but few
Those doomed to be heroes
The king wants you
The king wants you"
You're my hero
Avatar deserves so much more credit. They’re amazing.
Liked every song I’ve heard.
Never heard of these guys in my life..... How have I lived so far without them!!!
Guys, seriously, let off Avatar... They're trying new things. They're not "Getting Softer," they're trying their hands at a softer song. Bands aren't and shouldn't be confined to a single genre like it's law, they're allowed to branch away and explore what might sound good. It may be shit to you, but that doesn't mean you have to tell everyone else that it IS shit. Give constructive criticism, not stupid malice with a comment like: "its not gud bcuz it wasnt heavy"
Spazzy Left the only reason people say its 'soft' is because the vocals don't sound like a bear being slaughtered. The musicianship is astounding and to be admired, but no one seems to be able to get over how different it is.
Agree. It's music which means it just so happens to be entirely subjective and everyone will view it differently and trying new things is smart because everyone should know that a one trick pony is worthless.
@Holden Mcgroine try their two new songs and say they're pop songs.
@Holden Mcgroine Slayer sucks hardcore except for a few songs. They're only better than Anthrax, and that's because they've always been awful. There are a lot of bands with rough vocals. I'd suggest branching. If you haven't already.
Just found this band the other day, so far I like everything old and new but I especially like this sound, this is right up my alley.
100% agree with your comment. I have listened to A LOT of different music during my short life and at least 50% of it I don't care much for these days. Music tastes change, if bands have to play one style of music their whole career then fans should only listen to one type of music their whole lives... Can you imagine how lame that would be.I know musicians whos music went down a different path than me, but I appreciate all the good memories of good music I have from them and I like to show that appreciation by not hating on their new stuff or calling it shit.
I looove it! I love Johannes's vocals on this one. My god.
Glory to our King o/ Hopes for a show on Brazil soon 🤘
VAI BRAZILIAM
Avatar continues to evolve and experiment.
4:32 - "to be continued'
Me: "To be watched".
Avatards unite! Avatardation is spreading!
Nothing more metal than using your guitar shredding to shoot lasers and destroy your enemies in battle.
People are absolutly sticking to their first reaction to write down a comment... so they end up with "it"s weird", "it's new" every time. Well yeah it's weird, it's Avatar! and it's a new song, so what do you expect? Knowing the riffs and the lyrics already?
Exactly! With Feathers and Flesh it was the same. All people complaining about how different it sounds but after listening to it a few times, everyone loves it. Will be the same with this one
Bro this is like my 8th time watching
But some people here just to listen to a nice beat its okay my man if they say it's weird or new
This album needs to come out NOW!!!
Zac Thomas Right? We needed this album like yesterday.
Savannah Bowler yes, exactly
Zac Thomas Now it has.
Yep, grabbed it when it came out
Zac Thomas What do you think?
Avatar are planting themselves firmly as one of my favourite bands with this latest album
¡CON TODO AVATAR!
JAMÁS DECEPCIONAN APOYO TOTAL DESDE MÉXICO. 💖
El Zurdo LS89 Yo soy Mexico-Americana,saludos :D
yeii México
That guitar solo and Johannes' voice, fuck yes please
I found avatar about 6 months ago and my father listens to them too and we have been talking about avatar,we came to the conclusion that avatar is doing the whole album on the king,hes really fucking good so he deserves it
Brandon Lee is killing it on this one.
My body is ready for this new album!
Damn, he has a brilliant voice!
And for those saying its too different. If they stayed the same forever you guys would complain. I dare say it was just a trail. 😏
ThatSpyroChick I love different stuff which is why I love Dillinger escape plan and this band
If you want to see his range, watch Let It Burn. Absolutely GLORIOUS
ThatSpyroChick The band is allowed to do what they want. Still hope they have something a little heavy though.
I've got to watch him sing live and it sounds 10x better than the recordings. He's an angel
He's got all the range xD
This song has definitely grown on me, at first it seemed very meh, the chorus i didn't necessarily like (Not sure why), but now, it's no bad, it's catchy.
Exactly
it has to do with the eending
I have to agree. I sorta didn't like it but now it's like, I love it. It deserves a Grammy.
Toasty make a better song nothing against you but damn
Michael Walter - what are you saying. all i said was it's grown on me, i like it. i may also didn't necessarily like the chorus at first aswell.
your comment suggests that i'm being harsh, which can't be as i said i quite like it.
this seems to be way happier and softer than the rest of the albums
You've gotta hand it to them: they are creative! The more I listen to this song, the more I like it.
same
Avatar put so much into their previous album which was a Masterpiece. Time - creativity - a book that went with it. I am not surprised they scaled things back. Hopefully it still a good album.
Johnathan Barrett This isn't scaled back. It's just something different.
idc what anyone else is saying, I always follow a band because of creativity and the lead singer’s voice. he has a remarkable voice and is very flexible and the reason I fell in love with avatar. I can’t wait for the new album
The Great new horizons Avatar opened to us. Glory to the King! I so keen to hear new album
かっこいい!!
I love you AVATAR!!!
The King was gracious enough to speak with me after the private audience given at the Machine Shop in Flint, MI. His mustache was impeccable.
This reminds me of old school guitar metal like Iron Maiden or Megadeth. Avatar is a very talented band, and this song is no exception. Good Rifs, good beats, good lyrics.
Man this almost sounds like it could've been from the 80s, I actually kinda dig it XD
I am sick and throwing but I saw that avatar uploaded a new video and I knew I had to watch it.
wow! im loving this new direction and sound!!! evolulation baby!! becoming a band for the long hull!
God dammit I love this band! For the King!
Their drummer gets me every time
Is perfect. 💕
Avatar's music style always changes.
But I love them not because of their music…
Because of them…
The King Wants You

When i saw them before they played the song he said "The King Loves You The King WANTS YOU!!" i freaking loved tht concert
For me the Xmas starts in the 12th January.
Avatar rocks !
I think this is awesome. Maybe I'm just getting older with the band but this has something that just rolls with me
We Fear Not Our Mortality
We'll Serve To The Best Of Our Ability
We Give Our Lives To Our Masters
We Vow To Smite Our Enemies
I should doing my exam notes and yet I'm sat here hyping over the new album... Oh well i can always resit!
Lucarrio1020 SAMMMEEE
Lucarrio1020 YEEE
I think its important not to just listen to the song as a track but with the album concept in mind too. I'm really looking forward to the album based off of this and ASOTK
I love the vibe, it's got a classic metal feel to me
Gosh I love this band.
If this is you on your profle picture, damn your eyes are beautiful
can't wait for the album! already pre-ordered!
This is a very good guitar solo, especially for something that got played on the radio
This is different than the usual Avatar I'm used to but in my opinion I think it's still pretty good love the band like number one or two
A band that explores, improves, and delivers! Love 'em
Those vocals make me feel a type of way....
Everyone's hating on this song, it's freaking amazing, it's got an Iron Maiden and Dio feel to it, which makes it amazing, 10/10 Avatar, you amaze me again
I'll fight for my King
The drummer is cracking me up!
if they are wondering if i would die for Avatar, yes , yes i would
laura delgado As would I brother!
FOR AVATAR COUNTRY!!!
You may have missed the point of the video.
HAIL THE KING
Soft or not as long as time does sick solos this will be heavy as sh*t. Can't wait for the album 🤘🏼
god this song just makes me so happy. im so glad i found this band
Que diferente, de todas formas escuchar a Johannes y las guitarras siempre es maravilloso, hay que decir que faltó algún gutural de esos brutales que le dan el toque siniestro al Clown, pero genial 💜
Por fin un perro que habla español :v
@@elmorenowtf4027 te losico
Gracias babeto
Jajaja, somos varios
Seeing Avatar today with The brains! This'll be great.
Been watching too much Metalocalypse haven't you? xP Still a great song. More creative than most.
Đяεω I was thinking the exact same thing
This band keeps getting better and better with every album. Love them so bad, Avatar!
