I'm a sucker for female-fronted metal groups, but we all know that by now, right? I'm always looking for new bands with a strong lady at the helm, though sometimes, they find me. Avatarium is a Swedish band that hasn't been around for very long, but they've already got my attention. Their genre is a little more throwback to the old days of metal. Think along the lines of Christian Mistress and Spacegoat, if you will, but with a European metal twist. That's Avatarium, and they're my new favourites. Their debut album is actually out now, and I've already fallen in love with the single "Boneflower."
"Boneflower" has some grit to it, but definitely has that throwback-metal feel that sets it apart from the more modern sounds of today. Lead singer Jennie-Ann Smith has a Blondie sound that's mixed with the metal version of the Wilson sisters. It's a unique sound, definitely reminiscent of the past, but the music itself still has some modern metal sound to it. Just a touch, but don't worry. Now that "Boneflower" has sealed the deal, we just need to get Avatarium together on a tour with Christian Mistress and Spacegoat, pronto!
