AVATAR DROP VIDEO FOR “CHIMP MOSH PIT” — WATCH

NEW ALBUM DANCE DEVIL DANCE OUT NOW VIA BLACK WALTZ RECORDS, DISTRIBUTED BY THIRTY TIGERS

HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF THIS WEEK!

The heavy metal ‘n’ roll, dark, madcap visionaries collectively known as AVATAR — vocalist Johannes Eckerström, guitarists Jonas Jarlsby and Tim Öhrström, bassist Henrik Sandelin, and drummer John Alfredsson — released their magnum opus and ninth album, Dance Devil Dance, this past winter via Black Waltz Records, distributed by Thirty Tigers. Get it here.

Today, they have shared the animated hybrid video for “Chimp Mosh Pit.” Watch it here.

“Choosing what songs to make videos out of from Dance Devil Dance was harder than ever, with some very strong candidates,” says Eckerström. “Having battle tested ‘Chimp Mosh Pit’ on stage over and over makes me feel we made a very good choice. It’s a fun ride. I like how it leans into the good rock ‘n’ roll times we like to mix with the destructive energy of the metal stuff. It feels like we are the only band who could’ve made this video.”
