Yesterday (January 30), AVATAR performed in U.S. soil for the very first time in the bands 10+ year career. This very special concert took place in New York City at The Studio At Webster Hall in front of a pretty enthusiastic crowd. The band made their presence be felt from the moment they stepped on stage and left the crowd wanting more when they had to finalize their ferocious display of Swedish melodic Death Metal infused with elements of Rock N' Roll.
We had the chance to chat with the bands vocalist Johannes Eckerström right after the band was finished with their set, and he couldn't wipe off the smile off his face. During the interview, which is coming soon, Eckerström commented on the bands first show in the U.S.:
"The reason why it took this long for us to come to America was because we were waiting for the right way to do this. Playing here is very expensive... it's not like when we go to play in Denmark, for example. We really needed the support of a label, so we could do this the right way. Many of us have known each other since our teen years, playing covers and such, so we have always focused on our music first. We are happy to finally be playing here!"
The band released their newest record, 'Black Waltz' last year to much critical acclaim. "Black Waltz's comparable musical style and spare production brings a fresh, raw immediacy to these ten stellar songs." says OUTBURN Magazine. The band has been making waves in Europe with multiple appearances on festivals like Sweden Rock Festival, Metalcamp (Slovenia) and Metaltown (Sweden). AVATAR has supported acts such as Helloween, In Flames and Megadeth over the years as well. Now it is America's turn!
The band is about to hit the road with LACUNA COIL and SEVENDUST, make sure you don't miss their set. They rock!AVATAR tour dates with LACUNA COIL and SEVENDUST:

Charged with eleven songs and plenty of thunder, SLAYER performed a poutpurri of songs from the bands legendary musical catalog.

Right before the bands recent set at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City, we had the chance to chat with In Flames' frontman Anders Fridén about their current tour with Lamb Of God, Hatebreed and Sylosis. We also discussed the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the entire world and what the future plans are for the In Flames machine. Additionally, we chatted about the message behind Anders' lyrics and what the band wanted to accomplish when they released 'Sounds Of A Playground Fading'.

IN FLAMES with LAMB OF GOD, HATEBREED or HELLYEAH, and SYLOSIS:
For over 20 years the members of In Flames have been on a constant musical evolution in which they have pushed the boundaries of the Gothenburg Swedish Melodic Death Metal scene to the limit. While some may say that the band has experimented way too much with their sound, the reality is that In Flames have always stood out for making sure that every record they release is a different chapter of the In Flames book. With the release of their 10th studio album entitled 'Sounds of a Playground Fading' last year via Century Media Records, the band once again is proving that they do not like playing it safe.

Recently, legendary AT THE GATES vocalist Tomas Lindberg was grilled via an intense Q&A during an interview on Australia's Kill Your Stereo. Here are a few excerpts of the interview.
Kill Your Stereo:
Do you have an opinion why Sweden has been so good for Metal bands?
Tomas:
I guess the scene always evolves around a few different personalities or bands. If there's a driving force, people get inspired by it and that's it really. There doesn't actually have to be any special qualities to the country, but, I mean, we're a pretty close-functioning country. Maybe we're a bit spoiled with the welfare system here, so we don't really have to worry about much. In our spare time we can actually play music.
Kill Your Stereo:
I know it's a question you've been asked to death and you're probably sick of answering, but I know you said you AT THE GATES are not going to write another record together, but you might be open to writing together under a different name. Is that something you've given much thought to lately?
Tomas:
Well, basically, I've learned never to say never. We said we'd never do any more shows whatsoever and now we're doing shows [again]. 2008 was the last tour we were going to do and now we are doing more [shows]. I learned not to say never you know.
Kill Your Stereo:
Have you noticed much difference between the shows now and the past couple of years as opposed to back when you were a permanent band over a decade ago?
Tomas:
Of course. For us especially, as I said, the reception was overwhelming. We didn't have a clue that it [reunion shows] was going to be that big. It's what I would say, for us, it was pretty frustrating back in the day. We were playing really small shows and we were working really hard. And nowadays people actually come out to see us [laughs] and they know the songs. It's very good. And, I think it's probably easier in that way to be a young band today as there is a supportive crowd not matter what style of music you play. Of course, there's more bands to compete with if you want to have a career out of it, but if you just want to go round making music, it's a lot easier doing it now, I think.
We believe that if the fans DEMAND for At The Gates to headline the
2013 Summer Slaughter Tour, this will lead to the band to join forces
and record some NEW music. And if not, at least the entire nation can
experience At The Gates' musical power in a live intimate setting!
SPREAD THE WORD!
