Nov 20

Avatar brought their In The Airwaves USA ‘25 tour to the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver on November 15th, delivering a high-energy night of theatrical metal. Supported by New Zealand heavy hitters Alien Weaponry and the genre-blending SpiritWorld, the bill showcased a fierce mix of modern metal and boundary-pushing performance.

Spiritworld

SpiritWorld is the brainchild of Las Vegas musician Stu Folsom, blending hardcore, thrash, and outlaw country into a desert-soaked sonic assault often described as “death-western.” With a cinematic vision influenced by pulp fiction, horror aesthetics, and frontier mythology, SpiritWorld stands out through its gritty storytelling and relentless heaviness. The project’s hybrid sound, equal parts breakdowns, speed-metal fury, and western grit has drawn attention across metal and punk circles, positioning SpiritWorld as one of the most unique and genre-bending acts in heavy music today.

Alien Weaponry

Hailing from Aotearoa/New Zealand, Alien Weaponry has become one of modern metal’s most exciting voices by merging thrash and groove metal with te reo Māori language and indigenous history. Formed in their teens by brothers Henry and Lewis de Jong, the band’s sound is both blistering and deeply cultural, channeling ancestral narratives into explosive riffs and pounding rhythms. Their commitment to weaving Māori heritage into heavy music has earned them critical acclaim worldwide, establishing Alien Weaponry as a powerful force pushing metal into bold, culturally-rich territory.

Avatar

Avatar is a Swedish metal band known for blending theatrical spectacle with a genre-defying sound that fuses melodic death metal, groove, and hard rock. Formed in Gothenburg, the band has carved out a distinct identity through their dark carnival aesthetic, high-concept albums, and electrifying stage presence led by vocalist Johannes Eckerström. With a catalog that spans everything from crushing riffs to cinematic storytelling, Avatar continues to push the boundaries of modern metal, building a fiercely loyal global fanbase drawn to both their musical ambition and their immersive live performances.
