wolfgang I don't have an aux cord in my car, so i listen to CDs. I have a solid selection, but I've strictly rotated between my Hail the Apocalypse, Black Waltz, and Dance Devil Dance CD's since I saw Avatar in May in Norfolk, VA. Avatar blows my dick clean off every time. Y'all's music make each day a little better and I can't wait to see you in concert again. Favorite track: Tsar Bomba.

Lucien LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!!! ^^ Favorite track: Tsar Bomba.

jjischristian All flesh is equal when burned! ^_^

Okay on the real, harsh (they reminded me at the time of baroness and other sludge acts) vocals on bright giddy tracks just get me, dude. Hail The Apocalypse is just such a vibe. The rest of the album is amazing, I've given it several plays so far. Get In Line is so good. Something in the way reunited me with Nirvana.

Just a great album. Thank you! Favorite track: Hail The Apocalypse.

about

Hail the Apocalypse was recorded live at Karma Sound Studios in Bang Saray, Thailand. Bands likeBullet For My Valentine have made records there, enveloped in a trippy/exotic locale not unlike KillingJoke making a record inside an Egyptian pyramid back in the day. The band then went on to Tobias Lindells' studio in Patong, also in Thailand to record vocals and guitar solos. The studio is located in a house owned by a horror movie buff that includes a swimming pool decorated like Castle Gray skull.

The plane ride over inspired an unexpected turn in the creation of Hail the Apocalypse. After they had become sufficiently buzzed from the plane’s bar, the band synched up their video screens to take in “Sound City,” Dave Grohl’s documentary love letter to the famed studio where seminal albums from the likes of Nirvana, Metallica, and Slipknot were made.

“After the documentary was over, we looked at each other and said, ‘We should totally record this album live.’ We were planning to do it in a more modern way, track by track, to a click track. But we said, ‘Screw it! Let’s do this live, the old fashioned studio way.’”

Avatar didn’t see much sunlight while in Thailand, opting instead to put their collective nose to the grindstone and work hard on what has become a hard rock masterpiece.

Dana Dan was my introduction to this album, somehow right before watching Monkey Man, where it features in the Hijra fight scene. And I adore that song, but both Aaj and Endurant fill me with such a sense of hope and self and empowerment that I can't help but put Endurant at number one with Aaj right behind it. As a mixed race desi girl in diaspora with very little connection to my culture, it feels like a kind of welcome home message in this album. love you guys. luthienlapine
