Just last week we heard the great news about the new album from Avatar, Hail The Apocalypse and this week they have released a video for the title track. Vocalist Johannes Eckerström comments on the new video: “This is our best video to date. I play your friendly neighborhood doomsday prophet. You get to follow me facing the unbelievers & their reactions when chaos ensues. Good times all around & we are using some really amazing special effects to blow up the planet. Oh, and it’s done like a silent movie.” Check out the video here:
