Here is my track by track review of the new Avantasia album One interesting statement about the album to me was that Sammet stated that the songs much better work individually than in previous publications, which The only Avantasia single which made it to the German charts is Lost in Space, which ranked 9th in 2007.Īs part of the promotion material for the album, Nuclear Blast published a two-part interview with Tobias Sammet before the album release. In addition to ten gigs in Germany, the 2019 World Tour will lead Avantasia to five gigs in North America, to Tokyo, Sydney and Melbourne. Though Avantasia is most successful in Germany, they are very popular all over Europe and world-wide.
Each of them reached 2nd place in the German album charts.
However, the last three albums The Wicked Symphony / Angel of Babylon, The Mystery of Time and the latest, 2016-released Ghostlights, were more successful from a commercial perspective. The albums typically tell a closed story and still have the opera character. Another lovely track from the first album is Farewell, which features Within Temptation‘s Sharon den Adel. Unfortunately, there is no music video of this track. The most well-known track of the band is likely still the first single of the first Avantasia album named after band, which is acting like a “hymn” of the project. The list of musicians supporting is quite long, including rock superstars like Alice Cooper, the Scorpions band members Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker or the long-time Kiss guitar player Bruce Kulick. Apart from Sammet himself, only Michael Kiske, singer of Helloween, has participated in all albums so far. One characteristic of the project is that it acts as a super-band, in which famous rock and metal musicians join in. The first album releases was the metal opera Avantasia, which has been released in two parts in 20.
Avantasia has been found by the singer of the German metal band Edguy, Tobias Sammet.
