#478 - Johannes Eckerström (Avatar)

Avatar frontman Johannes Eckerström joins The MetalSucks Podcast
this week! During his chat with our host, Petar, he opens up to us
about starting a potential solo album during the pandemic, how
metal bands would be nothing without the audience's energy, and
their experience recently touring Europe and being one of the first
European bands to tour America after the pandemic. They also chat
about what it's like to release their latest album Dance Devil
Dance on their own label, what went into getting Halestorm's Lzzy
Hale to guest on the closing track, and why he stands by the best
length for an album is 45 minutes in our genre. The rest of the
show features Petar and Brandon discussing the latest MetalSucks
news, including Marty Friedman reuniting onstage with Megadeth and
how that might not be a one-night thing after all, Mikkey Dee
saying Motörhead will never do a reunion tour without Lemmy, Ozzy
Osbourne saying his touring status is still up in thew air, and
Kiss making the announcement of their final two shows before
retiring. Oh and Brandon makes the case that the Scorpions is a
safe rock band opposed to their counterparts in the 80’s. Song:
