Fronted by Jennie-Ann Smith, AVATARIUM is the brainchild of bassist & Swedish doom metal pioneer Leif Edling (CANDLEMASS) and guitarist Marcus Jidell (EVERGREY) and includes Carl Westholm (CANDLEMASS) on keyboards & Lars Sköld (TIAMAT) on drums. Theirs is a mesmerizing and beguiling combination of childhood lullabies, the dark landscapes in Grimm’s Fairy Tales, the tenderness of human emotion, and the knowledge of the fleeting quality of our feeble human existence.
In Hindu mythology, an avatar is the incarnation of a god on earth. The Latin “-arium” means “a place for.” In the words of Edling, an “avatarium” is “a place anywhere, of any size, where you can worship your demi-gods. Could be a singer, a politician, [Black Sabbath guitarist] Tony Iommi, an actor, a historical figure, porn actress, etc."
