#348: Avatar's Johannes Eckerström

Avatar vocalist Johannes Eckerström is our guest this week. We
discuss how being controversial in metal is extremely hard work
because of how far the genre has already pushed the edge, his
band’s relationship with one visual director for over a decade, the
realization that we have arrived in the dystopian world art has
envisioned for ages, his journey to becoming vegan, being a huge
fan of the writing of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, having to think
outside the box to create music videos during quarantine, and how
the book Sapiens influenced the band's new album, Hunter Gatherer.
Petar, Brandon, and Sylvia tackle the feud between Sebastian Bach
and Chris Jericho -- how unhinged it makes Sebastian Bach look, our
thoughts on how Jericho should play this going forward -- and we
theorize on why In Flames would decide to re-record songs on
Clayman for a reissue. Songs: Avatar - “Silence In The Age of Apes"
and "Colossus," Onslaught - “Religiousuicide” Learn more about your
