Thunder Underground

In this episode we are joined by Johannes Eckerstrom of Avatar. Johannes talks with us about the writing process of the story behind the Feathers and Flesh concept, thoughts on doing another concept album in the future, stretching their sound and incorporating different styles, the age old question from metalheads “What’s in the water in Sweden?”, touring with different acts like Dark Tranquility, 5FDP and A7X, how much he enjoyed touring with and hanging out with Helloween, their diverse fanbase, how they fit on American radio, playing the trombone, growing up immersed in music, and more. We also talk about recent shows we caught from Max and Igor Cavalera, Ghost, Fist of Rage and Crane Technique. We play a track from Machine in the Mountain, and discuss Avatar as well. Thank you for listening, and please share!
