Latest crime:
It is known as 'The King Live In Paris'. The place and the time of the crime was the Download festival in Paris in 2018.

The description of the crime:
After the French greeting, A Statue Of The King opened the set which payed tribute to the King. The sounds of fanfare made the event more festive. What happened during this time? A witness immortalized this moment. It was followed by a neck muscle gym thanks to the song Let It Burn. Strong hypnotic influence could be felt here. Johannes increased this feeling as he performed the end of the song. The effect was manifested as people started chanting the band's name. The frontman welcomed everyone to Avatar country,
that is to say home and of course everyone expressed their wish that they wanted to dance and sing with the King. Paint Me Red followed it, the momentum did not stop. The entire guitar intro of Bloody Angel was supported by rhythmic applause. The clattering, fast For The Swarm is the opposite of the more lyrical, melancholy Tower. The atmosphere did not change, clapping can be heard during the song. It is noticeable as the master of ceremonies of the band had fun with the audience. Then the playful The Eagle Has Landed came. Of course, people kept supporting Avatar from beginning to the end, what's more they also trilled the short outro of the song. Johannes' monologue was the introduction of Smells Like A Freakshow. That shout by the end of the song is really cool! Probably, the gentlemen changed their clothes during the short little song in order to continue the show with The King Welcomes You To Avatar Country. After the frontman's nice expression of thanks, Hail The Apocalypse closed the set.


Summery:
Well, the band knows how to impress the people. Some of their best "pranks" were selected. Surely, many people have already seen live videos of Avatar, so needless to say that this recording also supports this fact. The band is very strong on the stage and the guys take care of quality not forgetting the atmosphere either. In short, these villains need to be behind the bars!
