The heavy metal 'n' roll dark madcap visionaries collectively known as Avatar - vocalist Johannes Eckerström (vocals), guitarists Jonas Jarlsby and Tim Öhrström, bassist Henrik Sandelin, and drummer John Alfredsson - have announced a summer 2022 North American tour.
Says the band: "They don't let us out much while we make our albums, so this summer will most likely turn out very dangerous for everyone involved. For all the tours we've done in North America, we have spent very little time there in the summer. Surely this must have led to a lot of unnecessary suffering that we are adamant on setting straight by applying necessary suffering. The sun will be the second hottest thing you'll see in July. To finally do something with OTEP feels great, and to once again hit the road with Light The Torch will be awesome, as well."
