AVATAR
August 2023
Australian Tour
starts this week
“AVATAR are simply one of the best bands on the planet and also have one of the greatest stage shows you will ever see. I’m counting down the days till I get to catch them again. Hope you’ll check out the new record and catch the live act. You will be glad you did.” Lou Brutus – Sonic Warrior
The level of support demonstrated from the Sydney metal community over the last 24 hours has been overwhelming.
With news that Our Last Enemy could no longer open for Avatar in Sydney on Saturday due to a broken arm, a desperate cry went out out to find a band to take their place.
Social media lit up, with hundreds of comments from fans suggesting suitable acts.
One stood out above the rest.
Western Sydney four piece Pyrefly have been chosen.
The band comment “We are so grateful for a chance to be a part of this amazing show. As long time fans of Avatar and proud members of the Sydney music scene, we want to thank everyone for helping us play next to these heavy metal legends”
Pyrefly hit the stage at 8 so make sure you’re there!

AVATAR’s Australian shows and the pace of the band’s ascendency has not abated since the tour was announced. As well as a sold out European arena tour with friends, Gojira and a tour of South America with the mighty Iron Maiden, the band have delivered stunning sets across Europe’s biggest festivals (Download, Grasppop, etc) and to top it all off their new album, Dance Devil Dance has made the list of the Best Albums Of 2023 in both Loudwire and Metal Hammer where they appear at the very summit of the list!
AVATAR have long been your favourite metal band’s favourite metal band. From Iron Maiden inviting them on tour; to Vinnie Paul claiming Dimebag would have been jealous of their riffs; to mega star cameos on their albums, including Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale on the new one, Avatar have never lacked for adoration from their peers. When Matt Heafy of Trivium had to skip a few shows on their tour for the birth of his twins his choice to fill in for him was Avatar’s Johannes Eckstrom. The side of stage at every one of their US and Euro festival appearances always features a packed gallery of the who is who of rock luminaries riveted by and gaping the pure joy and spectacle.
Avatar have amassed over 100 million plays on Spotify and an incredible 163 million views on their YouTube channel with the songs Bloody Angel, Hail The Apocalypse, Torn Apart, The Eagle Has Landed and many more. Recent single The Dirt I’m Buried In, currently on 3.2M views, reached 1M views in only 2 days.
With their stunning new album, Dance Devil Dance debuting on The Australian iTunes Charts at #1 in Metal, #1 in Rock and #6 for All Albums, Australia will no longer be denied!

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
