Avatar's 2009 self-titled album should be added to The Gateway

First Post April 15, 2024 12:37 AM

Avatar's self-titled 3rd album marks the transition between their heavier melodeath and the experimental alt-metal of their subsequent albums. Their alt-metal side is starting to shine in prominence with melodic rock riffing, a greater focus on clean singing in some tracks, and some wacky experimentation, all that can heard in their later era. I also think the Heavy Metal tag is a bit redundant in this case. So I'd like to send Avatar's 2009 self-titled album to the Hall with two entries to be:

1. Added to The Gateway.

2. Removed from The Guardians.

All while maintaining its position in The Horde and melodic death metal.

These two nominations have been posted in the Hall of Judgement.
