Interviews
Two months after our talk at Alcatraz Festival, we stepped back into the forest with Johannes Eckerström of Avatar to talk about their upcoming album ‘Don’t Go In The Forest’ (out next week October 31st), from disco death grooves and true crime commentary to piano-born love songs and the return of the metal circus among many other things.
