So kids, the moral of the story is: If you are going to rip someone off, make sure you've got friends to back you up.

This band is very underrated. They're just too awesome to be ignored.

2:00 cracked me up! Johannes overly happy walking up to that crying girl with waaay too long arms singing "your hero has returned again"... Love it!

My best friend and I used to swap songs back and forth, this is the last song he ever sent me just two days before he died. Weirdly, the switch from hard ass rock to the majestic heroic shit is exactly how he was as a person. Much love my brother, I miss you every day.

These guys are genius

Am I the only one who loves the laughs he does in this?!

I think that the "ringleader" look is one of the most clever uses of corpsepaint, and of course he has the stage presence (and cool stockings) to pull it off. The creepy smile always comes off as genuine excitement too because the band enjoys what they do.

4:12 Did he really just try to call a time-out, when he's about go get killed?

these guys are amazing live

turns out the lead singer is my german teachers' brother, he held a "german lecture" for my class not too long ago so yeah, i met the dude.

1:44 Me when the restaurant staff come to your table with cake and birthday balloons.

These guys are an extremely unique band.

This deserves way more views.

hes like.. Lucifer.. he gives them exactly what they want but with a major twist. this is a perfect video

Lyrics *Cut through the clouds with the speed of a Demon* *I am as I was as I will be* *Look at the smoke can you hear me a-screaming* *God up above, is beneath me* *Oh wahahaha* *What a sensation* *What a sensation* *Can you feel it* *Can you see what I see* *Im drowning in lights* *The lights* *Ladies and gentlemen* *Your hero has returned again* *Everything is going to be okay-ay-ay-ay* *Ladies and gentlemen* *Your shepherd and your very best friend* *Bow your head and let us in* *To stay-ay-ay-ay* *Pitiful one you speak without seeing* *And Truly you came uninvited* *The hunt has begun and soon you'll be bleeding* *Stare at the night sky, ignited* *Oh wahahaha* *What a sensation* *What a sensation* *Can you feel it* *Can you see what I see* *Im drowning in lights* *The lights* *Ladies and gentlemen* *Your hero has returned again* *Everything is going to be okay-ay-ay-ay* *Ladies and gentlemen* *Your shepherd and your very best friend* *Bow your head and let us in* *To stay-ay-ay-ay* *Ladies and gentlemen* *Your hero has returned again* *Everything is going to be okay-ay-ay-ay* *Ladies and gentlemen* *Your shepherd and your very best friend* *Bow your head and let us in* *To stay-ay-ay-ay, ya ya ya*

My favorite bit is still when the salesman listens to the heart and grimaces. It's such a campy stage play touch.

Moral of the story: If you're going to rip people off, make sure you got pals to back you up, and you'll never get in trouble. Nah, I know that's not it. Good video.

4:35 Johannes deserves Oscar! :D

Moral of the story: Careful what you wish for because not all that glitters is gold. None of them were specific so dude gave them what they wanted not what they needed. He's playing a miracle doctor which was very common in the 19th and 18th centuries. Look at wishmaster the Djiin gave them their desires yet they weren't specific so it was a twisted gift.

I love the plastered on smile he has when he's with the rest of the band

been listening it for about 2 hours... help Nah, leave me here

I love the way Johannes pronounces 'everything'. He's so freaking perfect!

I just saw this band at riff fest 2021 & I can’t believe I never heard of them before this!!! I’m in love with this band. It’s my new favorite!!!

Man i just discovered this band,now i cant stop listening to this song ,I love it

As a technician, I love how this video was put together, so simple but so awesome. A single camera on stand and then 4 "rooms" with the inside ones mostly removed for the camera to see into the rooms. I absolutely love the effects as well, the lighting and such. Simple but so effective!

This band's aesthetic reminds me of a happier fleshgod apocalypse.

These guys are animals! Their music is on a level I'm not sure the world can handle right now!

I saw you guys in concert with Ice Nine Kills, In This Moment, and New Years Day and I’ve been in absolute awe since then!! You guys are like sexy clown vampires!

That was weird. AND FUCKING AWESOME.

Lesson learned; It's ok to bullshit people as long as your friends got your back.

It took me over 5 years to realize just how different this song sounds while listening through headphones. I never heard there was a synth in the background before and the layering is so good

When I first heard this song, I thought Avatar were very underrated. Now, they're really popular. I'm so happy

But Mr.Krabs, I'm only doing what you said!

Ladies and gentlemen...this is a great song and video :) loved it!

I like that with the couple, even he was like "Yeah, I mighta messed that one up😬" lol

O show em Curitiba, Brazil foi ÉPICO! Abriram o show do Iron Maden na categoria😍

That irony with the woman that lost her lover is waaaay too good. She's mad that her lover cut off his heart and why did he did this? Cause she wouldn't appreciate the way he showed her love. It's great! I love irony

One of my local radio stations loves this band for some reason, not usually something I would hear on the radio but I have been hearing this song and they played the album from front to back without any breaks..

The greatest thing about Avatar is that almost all of their songs sound different and most have a high level of complexity

This is the song that hooked me. Saw them last year at a festival. They are amazing!! Best metal band in a long, long time!

I literally just saw them yesterday for the first time at Louder than Life 2016 and they were AMAZING. EASILY stole the show.

Can't stop listening to this song.

That smirk when Johannes listens to the dude's heart....priceless!

Ontem fui ao show do Iron Maiden aqui em Ribeirão Preto, Brasil. Não conhecia a banda de vocês, mas depois de ontem já virei fã. Vocês fizeram a melhor abertura de todos os shows que já fui. Vocês são incríveis! Voltem mais vezes para o Brasiiiil!!! Yesterday I went to the Iron Maiden show here in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. I didn't know your band, but after yesterday I became a fan. You guys did the best opening of any show I've ever been to. You are amazing! Come back to Brazil more often!!

I love them...I...I just love their music..they are so unique and so inspiring for me....They are one of my favourite bands...the way they are expressing all the unfair things happening in this world...Their music helps me when I'm sad more than the people around me which is even more sad but I am really glad I know them,they really deserve to be more famous,equaly famous as the beatles were....they are my heroes :')

Saw these guys live in Denver on Friday night. They are absolutely INCREDIBLE live, and the lead singer Jonas really knows how to work a crowd. Greatest freak show I ever did see.

I've been to 5,000+ concerts in my lifetime. Avatar is in the Top 3 shows I've ever seen. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love their acting. Especially when they tricked the guys and the singer begun to "become the eagle" and how he laughed after it as well. They are a great band and i like the nostalgic vibe all arpund there music videos

Regardless of what you think about their music (which is great) the people behind avatars music videos deserve all the awards

Their music is addictive, in a good way.

It's insulting this video doesn't have a billion views!

Who else just LOVES that lead singer, Hennik?! 😍😍😍

Where's the love button.. Cmon now youtube don't let fb outbutton you

This band is so good. They are etremely original their vocalist has an AMAZING voice the guitar players are just fucking sick. their solos and their riffs are amazing the drummer is fucking nuts! he looks and sounds cool as fuck the bass lines are SICK! this band is just great I'm going to see you guys at Fortarock in the Netherlands I'm Really looking forward to it See ya guys there (:

I'm grateful for the internet because I get to see this and Avatar's other videos. They're all so fun to watch.

They were awesome, and VERY entertaining in concert! They put on an epic show, and really get the crowd involved!

love Johannes eckerström's facial expression at 2:53

Great album. I say it should have been album of the year.

I could listen to the shred at 2:50 over and over again, it’s just so damn good.

Saw them in reading, PA this year when they were on tour with Ice Nine Kills, In this moment, and New Year’s Day. Absolute blast and would love to see them again.

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!

This is great shit. It's like one of those that just feels... right

none of avatars songs deserve to slap as hard as they do, go off kings

Even if I’m having a rough time, Avatar can always make me smile :)

Damn.... Every video Avatar makes i love, but this one is my all time favorite. Their acting is hella good!!!!

The director of this video did a great job. Very well done.

I like to think the ending riff leads into Bloody Angel followed by Colossus then Hail the Apocalypse. Feels like a storyline

Not only is Avatar's music amazing but their videos are brilliant too. Like really good short films. Every time I watch one I notice something I hadn't before. This time was the red skull and bones at 3:21

Masterpiece, both the song and the video

its like satan on earth...i like it, you guys keep doing great

And this is a perfect video example of: Be careful what you wish for, because it may come true and not be what you want at all

I love how these guys have so much fun and rock out at the same time. So much talent in this band. Glad I started listening to them this year! Makes me sad in a way, Ive been missing out this whole time!

They deserve more subs

I dont know what "It" is, but they have got it. One of the most unique bands out there.

So them live yesterday best band ever

Ladies and gentleman your hero has return again

12/10 music video once again from the extremely talented and underrated, Avatar

Did anybody else notice the guy in the window at 2:28?

Lol I love the guy in the window at 2:28 is like "Oh shit- I gotta get out of here"

Avatar - one love❤️❤️

God this is the best band in the fucking world. they don't make a bad song .every album start to finish. love these guys. the best bands are ones that sound like no one else and this is head and shoulders above most other bands. can't wait for next album

saw them open for Trivium truly blew me away never seen them live this studio version is not even close to how powerful live they performed this.

This looks a lot like our society, i see the "help" we are receiving, in order to make our lifes easier ,we complain ,they give us the sollution they we're already create the problem for... and we are urging for their sollution. The result is as the end of the video. Very wonderful interpretation Avatar!

Is no one gonna mention that the guy that took his heart out has a hole in where his kidneys are supposed to be?

Love this song and video. Also, teleporting chair at 3:36

Эквиритмичный перевод (Equirhythmic translation into Russian) Сквозь облака я несусь, словно демон, Во всём оставаясь собою. Смех торжества сотрясает и небо, И целый мир подо мною: О! Ахахаха! Эхо сенсаций (х2) В душах отзвук Поднимите глаза: В сиянии тону Огней! Дамы и господа, Со мной и горе не беда! Будет c вами всё у нас окей!-эй!-эй!-эй! Дамы и господа, Ваш друг и пастырь с вами. Ура! Преклоните головы скорей!-эй!-эй!-эй! Жалкие, вам бы вечно злословя Лезть в души огульно пороча, Но все вы сполна заплатите кровью В самый разгар полуночный. О! Ахахаха! Эхо сенсаций (х2) В душах отзвук Поднимите глаза: В сиянии тону Огней! Дамы и господа, Со мной и горе не беда! Будет c вами всё у нас окей!-эй!-эй!-эй! Дамы и господа, Ваш друг и пастырь с вами. Ура! Преклоните головы скорей!-эй!-эй!-эй!

Saw them live last week. I wasn't familiar with their back catalogue, so I'm enjoying going back and listening to all their older songs they played live. What an amazing band!

This band is a musical genius.

The stunning beauty, emotion and passion conveyed in the outro has just brought me to tears. No joke. Amazing. Then to carry on this momentum to New Land. Epic. Just epic

I just discovered this band a few months ago- don’t know how I missed them but I love how creative and theatrical they are 💚

Saw these guys live at Rocklahoma this year, they stole the day without a doubt.

I meet them yesterday. How can be a band so great unknow for me untill yesterday??

I swear Avatar has the best music videos ever!

This tune holds up remarkably well at 2x play speed.

I love how interesting Avatar is. What sets them apart from the others is definitely the fact they’re not blue aliens from Pandora or Airbenders from a Nickelodeon cartoon….but an impeccable metal band!! I enjoy listening to their music so much. I cannot even put it into words how much I adore Avatar. Johannes has OUTSTANDING vocals, the switch from hard vocals and aggressive music to more melodic vocals and circus-y type music is just…*chef’s kiss*. I do also love the costumes the band wear, the clown type makeup suits Johannes very well. It matches his personality. Everyone in Avatar is incredibly talented, incredibly gifted. Johannes, John, Kungen, Tim, Henrik, every single one of them. ❤

Just saw them live at louder than life festival and honestly I am impressed, the stage presence is definitely there as well

I swear they have the best videos.

That laugh, that goddamn laugh

The entire rithm of the song gives me so much pirates vibes, and also, i fuckimg love when bands use some cowbell, almost 10 years listening to this song, i fucking love it

I was crushed when it turned out the LA Babymetal at the Forum was the only one on the tour where Avatar wasn't opening. They remind me of the Ren Faire, like the theatrics are just so well thought out. Love coming back to them like a couple times a year and just getting lost down the rabbit hole. Same with Babymetal, but they're on yet another come up in 2023, and it's all so amazing.
