"Avatar have evolved into one of metal’s most wildly inventive live forces. They orchestrate chaos on stage with a full blown metal machine at their base. The set is a masterclass in controlled madness. The songs land like hammer blows, each one bigger than the last. An unmissable spectacle from start to finish – what a night!!" - York Calling
"Johannes Eckerstrom is without a doubt one of the greatest frontmen of our time. The flair and theatrics of Alice Cooper crossed with the charisma and vocal ability of Freddy Mercury and Bruce Dickinson, he is a true force of nature to be dealt with on stage" - Everblack Media
"The mark of a great show is that it doesn’t end when the lights come up. It lingers, echoing in your bones, reminding you why live music still matters. Avatar didn’t just play a concert in Silver Spring. They staged a war, a carnival, a ritual and for those lucky enough to be there, it was one hell of a night." - Park Life DC
