I'm not the first person to say that this album's high point is certainly the guitar work but fuck me, this is one of the best tracks on the album and it's an instrumental. Avatar really went for it with this record, you can feel all the passion and devotion put into the music. The vocals are as good as ever but every beat feels fresh and new and interesting, and constantly impresses.
Peter .Cartwright I was just saying this on KING after KING video.Lol. Imo this may be the baddest metal album ever recorded in the 21st century!! It's absolutely incredible. So refined and well tuned and orchestrated. It's like metal heaven!! They are so fuckin spot on in concert. Probably best and most fun metal band I've ever seen live
Its hard to do an instrumental that is so good. Maiden's Transylvania also springs to mind. (And brilliantly that allows me to get Avatar into the same sentence with Maiden, which they totally deserve)
Enigma Sixx Please DO NOT steal others stuff because you have to pay for something! That's not that expensive! They live for entertaine us and you are just soulles for doing that. This album is not even came out!!
Artists barely make money from sales BECAUSE of crap like this. Trust me, I work in the industry. Albums aren't making money because bands gone from selling millions, to selling 20'000 or so, and getting millions of streams instead.
Great, you were signed, so, yeah, you probably did it wrong. You got signed and half your money was ripped by the label. I've promoted shows, played gigs, ran open mic nights, done festivals, released music under my own name and with multiple bands, and I continue to work in the industry to this day, mostly as a performer. Never been signed, because if you distribute music yourself, you get 100% of the profits, not whatever joke you get back from a record label. But ya, hate to break it to you, but talk to most industry professionals will tell you the worst thing that could happen to you unless you're the next big thing, is get signed.
I mean, 100%, every other thing you'll do in terms of music will make more money, probably. But, that doesn't make it any less a part of a musicians income.
