I recently discovered Avatar, and they are FANTASTIC, in my personal opinion. They're from Sweden. I first saw them on a random YouTube suggestion for a video called "Hail The Apocolypse"... They have a uniformed kind of look that reminds me of old circus attire, or maybe even a dressy military Sargent Peppers-esque style, and a noticeably unique lead singer with facepaint that resembles a clown. The music is mind blowingly good, and has some seriously groovy harmonies. They range from very heavy to hard rock. I saw them live in Asheville, NC a few months back, and they did not disappoint. Good band, if you're a fan of heavy metal. I was an instant fan. Here's a couple videos to wet your appetite.
