Avatar, Krashkharma
Swedish AVATAR were formed under the name LOST SOUL in 2001 but soon renamed due to lack of interest of members beforehand. Over the years and taking part in quite a few talent shows contributed to growing their popularity. Once the first album ‘Thoughts About Tomorrow’ hit the shops in 2006 the balls started rolling and tours, more live shows followed, including two tours of Europe. But the big breakthrough just came after their second album ‘Schlacht’ got released in 2007.

Korn, Dimmu Borgir
KORN started in 1993 and released their first album just one year later. Along with the following ‘Life is Peachy’ from 1996, it is a favourite among early KORN fans. The third instalment ‘Follow the Leader’ became their commercial breakthrough and was the beginning of a hard shift to rather easy digestible as many say. But all those who were criticizing the band for becoming too “mainstream” in the past could experience the surprise of their lives since ‘Korn III - Remember Who You Are’ is going back to the dark roots.
