We caught up with Avatar frontman Johannes Eckerstrom to discuss the band's new album and more.

Get a listen to the two opening tracks -- 'Regret' and 'House of Eternal Hunt' -- from Avatar's upcoming 'Feathers & Flesh' album.

Avatar have announced the details for their new album, 'Feathers and Flesh' and have unleashed a music video for the new single, 'For the Swarm.'

Avatar brought their insanity to the Hub City last Friday night to the delight of the rockers of Lubbock. They came, they played, they destroyed!

Lubbock favorites Avatar return to the Hub City tonight with special guests September Mourning for a Friday night freak show that's sure to please.

They've rocked the FMX Birthday Bash and Big Purple Party, and now they're coming back to the Hub City in February for a more intimate show.

The wild boys from Sweden are coming back to the Hub City.

Avatar may hail from Gothenburg, Sweden, but with the love the band gets from Lubbock fans we're confident to say the guys are honorary Texans.

I got to speak to my friend Johannes Eckerstrom from Avatar at the 34th annual FMX Birthday Bash about his favorite touring movie, playing live and what to expect from the band's next album.

The presale for the 34th annual FMX Birthday Bash is over. We'd like to thank each and every one of you for supporting this show. And now, we're going to thank you big time by giving you MORE for your money.

Sweden's own Avatar is at it again, this time releasing a video for the band's latest single "Vultures Fly". Check out the video here.

With 2014 coming to an end--I thought this would be as good a time as any to recap the list of a few of my new favorite up and coming bands.
