Avatar - Schlacht

\r\nI have the feeling that the Second strike of the Swedish Avatar will make a very good impression in the melodic Death Metal scene, or like we used to call it back at its beginning N.W.O.S.D.M. (New Wave Of Swedish Death Metal) or just “Göteborg scene”. Many founding bands of this scene forced to change their musical directions, due too “Progress” of success. I think that bands like Dark Tranquillity, In Flames and Soilwork are strong examples of this “chance”
\r\nSo Avatar continue the tradition of the Göteborg scene with their second effort, entitled “Schlacht” and provide us with a very good amount of Swedish sound, with sharp edged riffs that At The Gates have taught us back in the “Sloughter Of The Soul” era, many emotional and melodic cuts in the vein of DarkTranquillity’s “The Gallery”, very intense vocals like Anders Fridén’s ones (Dark Tranquillity / In Flames) and melodic solos like Jesper Strömblad’s (in Flames) ones.
\r\nWorth to mention is the contribution of In flame’s guitarist, Björn Gelotte. The production is the traditional Swedish death metal production and in general the album seems to be lost in the mid nineties when the Swedish death metal was at its best. My personal hope is that Avatar won’t sacrifice their music in the altar of “Progression”!
