Avatar is a Swedish heavy metal band, formed in Gothenburg in 2001. The
band has released eight studio albums, the most recent being Hunter
Gatherer in 2020. The band has had some success on US rock radio,
notably with their song "New Land", which peaked at number 20 on the
Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart in May 2017.
Avatar has been described as a heavy metal band, and more specifically
as melodic death metal and groove metal. The band has also been referred
to as a "grease-painted Swedish death/industrial/progressive metal
ensemble". Originally a pure melodic death metal band, Avatar later
began to play a different style of music, moving to a more avant-garde
metal style.
