Swedish heavy metal visionaries collectively known as AVATAR — vocalist Johannes Eckerström, guitarists Jonas Jarlsby and Tim Öhrström, bassist Henrik Sandelin, and drummer John Alfredsson — have been put on the “Naughty List” by Santa.
In true AVATAR fashion, the band couldn’t be happier doing what they do best. Wrapping up the year with a surprise, the avant-garde pioneers have unveiled a new track that celebrates authenticity, individuality and unapologetic self-expression. The official music video for their latest single, “Naughty List”, features a special appearance by none other than Zakk Wylde, who adds his trademark guitar skills and a blazing solo, taking the track to another level. The collaboration came about after Öhrström personally approached Wylde last summer, while both bands were supporting METALLICA, and invited him to contribute to the song.
