Avatar have launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund a film based around their latest album Avatar Country.
The record was released earlier this year, and its profile was raised by videos for A Statue of the King, The King Wants You and The King Welcomes You to Avatar Country.
But the Swedish outfit want to take their vision even further and tell the full story of the album… and they're asking for your help to make it a reality.
Avatar say: “The money raised will go to pay for equipment, crew, actors, locations, props, 3D models, wardrobe and anything and everything you can imagine would go into any given film project.
“The money will not go to pay any member of the band, not even the King. Our salaries are made out of what we can make from touring, selling merchandise and whatever comes our way as song writers and recording artists.
“This will not be a pay day for the band. All money will be directly invested into our art.”
Avatar are looking to initially raise £40,000 but add that ideally, a figure of around £65,000 would allow them to fully realise their vision which will once again involve Johan Carlén who has been in charge of all their videos since Black Waltz.
With 20 days to go, the figure – at the time of writing – is currently sitting at close to £14,000.
Backers are being offered a range of incentives, including their name in the credits, a digital copy of the film, stickers, patches, signed movie posters and more.
Check out a video trailer below and back the project on Kickstarter.
Avatar will head out on tour across the UK and Europe early next year.
