When your voice is so brutal Gibby thinks it’s distorted. Speaking from experience of seeing them live, his voice is even more brutal in person. They tone him down on the recordings.
I rolled my eyes at "sounds better live" people for years until I heard them open with this. But for real, the album version does not do this song justice. It's good, but not 'live' good.
Love this reaction! No distortion or 'warping' necessary for Johannes' vocal talent. I've been obsessed with them for about 2 1/2 months now (yeah, it took me forever to come across them!)... I listen to their songs every. day. - on repeat! This is one of my Top 3 songs, lyric-wise, but all their songs are good. In your own time, you should check out the official video for this song - it's as original as the music. Also, make sure to see a live performance or 2 (or 200!). They are in my Top 2 want to see concerts. / As for them being Christian... um, no. But, watch them (err, Johannes) being interviewed & you'll like him.
you know what that song is about? It's about the mental anguish of a man who regrets the evil he did working at a gulag. That's a pretty religion neutral topic
@@nickcabanillas3715 This song as well as the accompanying video depict a torn individual who works as a Soviet officer in a Labor Camp, that is the explanation they have behind the song. But i also felt it more of a nazzi guard or a person who decided who would be gassed.
Bro, this is definitely a band where some of the music videos are worth watching, because a bunch of them relate to the themes of the song. I'm thinking Bloody Angel, the eagle has landed, Colossus, and vultures fly.
They are a combination of melodic death,avant garde and groove metal,you have to check literally every album by them because they sound completely different every time!
Avatar is easily one of the most slept on bands in metal today they don't get the recognition they deserve but they still keep putting out master pieces
you dont fully understand the beauty of avatar till you see them live. still the best band i have ever seen perform. seen them 11 times in the last 5 years
Avatar has been one of my favorite bands for as long as I can remember. Please check out King After King, When the snow lies red, and Bloody Angel. Love the reaction!
Funny, his reaction to the intro was identical to mine the first time I heard it. Still can't listen to this just once- I have to restart the intro and first verse a couple-three times, then hit repeat 2 or 3 times for full playbacks.
When asked about the meaning of the song, Johannes said “it’s about the apocalypse and a guy who is hailing it” lol But yea I always interpreted it as satirizing those guys who are always preaching about how “THE END IS NEAR”
You should react to more of their songs. My favorite is "Statue of a King" I think that's what it's called. They just dropped a new album this year I think.
Avatar are a superb metal band from Gothenburg in Sweden, check out The Tower, Welcome To The Freakshow, Bloody Angel and Let It Burn! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 have a look at some of there live concert footage as well. I’ve seen them live in Britain supporting Halestorm.
Avatar Bloody Angel, that was the very first Avatar song i heard years ago. now ive seen them 4 times and probably one of my favorite all time bands. Id recommend reacting to Bloody Angel
fun fact: the new testament of the Bible was written in greek and the greek word "apocalypse" simply means "revelation". that's why "apocalypse" is a word associated with the end of the world, because that book in the Bible is about the completion of God's plan for the world.
Smells like a freak show and silence in the age of apes are my favorite songs by avatar, also kings harvest I'd love to see your reaction on the official videos
Your videos just put me in a better mood, you're always happy and upbeat it makes my day just a little better and I have needed that, thanks and keep up the good work
Avenged sevenfold more please : Bat country Second heartbeat Unholy confessions God hates us live rock am ring 2011 Scream Almost easy Critical acclaim live LBC
Hope he does god hates us live. It was an amazing performance showing how much shadows is toned down a little in recordings just making live so much more enchanting.
They got the lyrics wrong - it isn't "all the lies I sworn to be" it's "all the lords I've sworn to obey" as in ALL THE LORDS I'VE SWORN TO OBEY - I TAKE IT BACK!
I wouldn't read too much into the title or the meaning of the song. When asked about the meaning of the song, a band member said that it's about "the apocalypse and a man who's hailing it".
Gibby, you absolutely need to react to Tallah - Overconfidence, or any other music video from them, and I'm 90% sure Justin (the singer) will comment on your reaction :)
Bro, you have to check out Any Given Day "Savior" I'm late to this party myself but man, whatever church they go to...I need to be there. You wont be disappointed.
When your voice is so brutal Gibby thinks it’s distorted. Speaking from experience of seeing them live, his voice is even more brutal in person. They tone him down on the recordings.
To be fair it does sound like they add a lot of reverb to his voice in certain parts.
I rolled my eyes at "sounds better live" people for years until I heard them open with this.
But for real, the album version does not do this song justice. It's good, but not 'live' good.
@@HuffdrewPaint For real. I saw them open for Avenged Sevenfold years ago and was absolutely blown away. Instant fan!
These guys are amazing live
Even when they are off in the audio department they throw a mean show. Just all around fun to be around.
bloody angel, the eagle has landed, black waltz & smells like a freakshow !!
Also Colossus! Torn Apart and The King Welcomes You To Avatar Country
Avatar is pretty sick, the eagle has landed is a good song.
Don't forget about bloody angel
Or vultures fly
Avatar: Bloody Angel!
I know it sounds easy but that opening riff is a pain in the ass to play
With the whammy bar
Yep took my like an hour to get it right
It's all in the whammy dude haha
Fretting hand on the whammy bar, start slack and gradually release it
It SOUNDS simple but it takes a hot minute 😂

Avatar is farrrrrrrrrrr from Christian brother lol 😂 listen to “Bloody Angel” by them
you know what that song is about? It's about the mental anguish of a man who regrets the evil he did working at a gulag. That's a pretty religion neutral topic
but no, they are not a Christian band by any stretch
@@ryantannar5301 interesting. You view it as Russian p.o.v? The one time I watched it I got a nazzi holocaust guard feel to it
@@nickcabanillas3715 This song as well as the accompanying video depict a torn individual who works as a Soviet officer in a Labor Camp, that is the explanation they have behind the song. But i also felt it more of a nazzi guard or a person who decided who would be gassed.
It’s music brother, art, it can be interpreted any way you like.
Bro, this is definitely a band where some of the music videos are worth watching, because a bunch of them relate to the themes of the song. I'm thinking Bloody Angel, the eagle has landed, Colossus, and vultures fly.
Boom!! Frikkin epic!!!
They are a combination of melodic death,avant garde and groove metal,you have to check literally every album by them because they sound completely different every time!
This is why I listen to reaction videos. I want to hear new music or great songs I’ve never heard. I think you are spot on D-Gibby! Absolute 🔥
Avatar "paint me red" is a killer tune by them too. Too many to list. Saw them live multiple times. His voice is brutal, no autotune needed.
MORE MORE MORE MORE AVATAR DUDE IT A AMAZING BAND!!! REACTS AVATAR IN LIVE!!
Avatar is easily one of the most slept on bands in metal today they don't get the recognition they deserve but they still keep putting out master pieces
you dont fully understand the beauty of avatar till you see them live. still the best band i have ever seen perform. seen them 11 times in the last 5 years
Hell yeah!!! I just discovered this band last year and they're already one of my favorites! 🤘🏼
Avatar has been one of my favorite bands for as long as I can remember. Please check out King After King, When the snow lies red, and Bloody Angel. Love the reaction!
Regret/house of eternal hunt showcases everything that Avatar is
Yessss
Gibby I’m so glad you’re back to them this song is amazing
Stud! This song kicks ass. Pray the Sun Away and Get In Line are KILLER tracks as well. Very groovy .
Definitely listen to "The Eagle Has Landed," "The King Welcomes You to Avatar Country" and "The King Wants You."
Black waltz by avatar is a must see
Bro same i can't find anyone who has reacted to black waltz
According to the singer, this song is about the apocalypse, and a guy who hails it. 'Nuff said.
Get down with the apocalypse! 🤘
One of them songs that makes you want to have long hair so you can whip it.🤘😝
I wish I had hair....
HAIL THE APOCALYPSE
windmilling intensifies*
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I have never clicked on a notification so fast in my life 🤣 the fact that it took three days to get it upsets me but I still got it
You have to watch the live videos of this band. They are phenomenal live.
Been waiting a long time for you to react to them yessssss!!!!!!!!!
His voice is not distorted. Its HIS voice!
I think you should check their new album (Hunter Gatherer) . "Gun" and "When All But Force Has Failed", these 2 songs are awsome together.
Colossus is a banger too
They put on an AMAZING concert. I got to meet them after the show. It was amazing 😁❤️
Excellent choice, brotha!!
Please do Bloody Angel by them live at Poland 2019!!! Awesome performance!
With avatar you HAVE to watch their music videos! They are all masterpieces! Damnit lol.
I just discovered this band as well I am really enjoying there song Colossus I recommend it.
Funny, his reaction to the intro was identical to mine the first time I heard it. Still can't listen to this just once- I have to restart the intro and first verse a couple-three times, then hit repeat 2 or 3 times for full playbacks.

When the show lies red. Im gonna leave this here listen and love it.
Avatar are a superb metal band from Gothenburg in Sweden, check out The Tower, Welcome To The Freakshow, Bloody Angel and Let It Burn! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 have a look at some of there live concert footage as well. I’ve seen them live in Britain supporting Halestorm.
This is an old review, but I just saw them play this live, what an act and show stealer. Will never miss a show when avatar is in town!!
HELL YEAH!
Bloody Angel, Statue of the King, Torn Apart, and The Eagle Has Landed. These songs are what got me into them.
Ok Gibby NOW you gotta check out the live version at Wacken to see what the boys can do!
I know this is 3 yrs late but this song is about the end, They are very spiritual, worked for 3 yrs as a tech...thanks
He has the best scream. Check out Torn Apart
Amazing bro you’re a star!!!
Avatar Bloody Angel, that was the very first Avatar song i heard years ago. now ive seen them 4 times and probably one of my favorite all time bands. Id recommend reacting to Bloody Angel
All flesh is equal when burned means white black brown when we are when the end comes God doesn't care what you are he cares about who you where.
First saw these guys in Chicago in 2015, moved to Gothenburg recently and saw them last month here
fun fact: the new testament of the Bible was written in greek and the greek word "apocalypse" simply means "revelation". that's why "apocalypse" is a word associated with the end of the world, because that book in the Bible is about the completion of God's plan for the world.
Ok. This has been my favorite reaction videos hands down 😂
One of my favorite bands
You need to watch Torn Apart by these guys, the singer had to sing the song backwards when they were filming it
They are even better live.
Ayyyyyy, checking out the best band I see 😁
Smells like a freak show and silence in the age of apes are my favorite songs by avatar, also kings harvest I'd love to see your reaction on the official videos
Avatar has many good songs, I'll also say to check out bloody angel, smells like a freak show is a good one too.
Ready for the ride-black waltz album trust me all their work is great
I hail the end of sin. That is what the apocalypse will bring. Can only blame those that chose the the windy wicked path for their own failure.
Avatar quickly became one of my favorites after hearing Bloody angel and Statue of the king
I'm pretty sure that's a natural voice my guy, watch Avatar live. Also u just got a new sub. Keep up the awesome work man
Silence in the age of apes is another good one by them. It’s the single off their latest album. It came out earlier this year.
Class D-Gibby.
Your videos just put me in a better mood, you're always happy and upbeat it makes my day just a little better and I have needed that, thanks and keep up the good work
Lots of good songs from Avatar.... throw a dart. lol
Their live show is soo good 🔥
Chimaera-Everything You Love.

Hope he does god hates us live. It was an amazing performance showing how much shadows is toned down a little in recordings just making live so much more enchanting.
The apocalypse has begun, in case you missed it.
It's 10 past 12.
They are awesome live. 🤘🏻
You think that's brutal, you should hear them live.
They got the lyrics wrong - it isn't "all the lies I sworn to be" it's "all the lords I've sworn to obey" as in ALL THE LORDS I'VE SWORN TO OBEY - I TAKE IT BACK!
The Music Video is good too
React tô Blood Angel
Maybe the apocalypse is what will be brought by God. Time to smite.
YESS This band is a fucking hidden gem, react to tsar bomba, bloody angel, and let it burn
I wouldn't read too much into the title or the meaning of the song. When asked about the meaning of the song, a band member said that it's about "the apocalypse and a man who's hailing it".
Gibby, you absolutely need to react to Tallah - Overconfidence, or any other music video from them, and I'm 90% sure Justin (the singer) will comment on your reaction :)
My favorite band! I love your energy man! Subscribed 👍
"Pray the Sun Away" or "Get in Line" next! SICK band
Great band!!!
This is a call by Foo Fighters
Bro, you have to check out Any Given Day "Savior" I'm late to this party myself but man, whatever church they go to...I need to be there. You wont be disappointed.
Colouss arise!!!
Should definitely check out LET IT BURN its got a real funky groove to it you might dig!
wayment hes saying all the lords ive sworn to obey not all the lies ive sworn to be.
React to 4:00 am breakdown, it’s underrated af but it’s one of my favorites, and Johannes scream sound even better
