AVATAR Release 'Hail The Apocalypse' Video; New Album Details Revealed
March 17, 2014, 10 years ago
After announcing their new album Hail The Apocalypse last week, Sweden's AVATAR is coming right back at you with a new music video for the title track, 'Hail The Apocalypse'. The iTunes Pre-orders are LIVE with the video single being available right away to anyone that pre-orders a copy.
Vocalist Johannes Eckerström comments on the new video: “This is our best video to date. I play your friendly neighborhood doomsday prophet. You get to follow me facing the unbelievers and their reactions when chaos ensues. Good times all around and we are using some really amazing special effects to blow up the planet. Oh, and it's done like a silent movie.”
The visually stimulating album cover has also been reveled. It vividly depicts the band steering their ship through a storm on the open sea with the apocalypse happening all around them. They're facing it, riding the waves and taking on whatever comes their way. To the band, it symbolizes the time in the darkness that made these songs.
