February 16th, 2023

Swedish metal band Avatarium have filmed a music video for the track ‘A Love Like Ours’, which can be viewed below.

Speaking about the song, guitarist Marcus Jidell said: “This song was created together with one of the world’s most interesting and skilled cello players, Svante Henryson. When I was a teenager I saw him play one of Bach’s cello suites on a Yngwie Malmsteen concert, all alone on the big stage. I have loved his talent ever since and it’s an honour to work with him! I also hope you’ll enjoy this video, created by Niklas Palmklint and Jennie-Ann Smith, as much as I do.”
