Avantasia – new album Moonglow





Hello there!

In today’s post I would like to give attention to Avantasia my favorite music band.

A few words about the band:
It is a symphonic power metal supergroup with opera influences, formed in 2000 in Fulda (Germany), by vocalist and leader of the power metal band Edguy, Tobias Sammet. The curious thing is its name Avantasia which is a mixture of two words: Avalon and Fantasia. The name of this project “describes a world beyond the human imagination”.

Tobias composes and writes all Avantasia's songs, the thing that seems be a characteristic of his all albums is to invite many other singers from the most famous power metal bands. Among the singers who Tobias cooperate with, I can distinguish: Michael Kiske, Bob Catley, Alice Cooper and many many others.

In spite of it, Avantasia has its permanent members: as I have already mentioned one of them, Tobias Sammet, others are Sasha Paeth, Felix Bohnke, Michael Rodenberg.

The band has already released 5 albums which have achieved an enormous success all over the world, including Poland. These albums are not just good and powerful music but what is more, there are songs with meaningful lyrics which always consist a wonderful story to tell.

1.       The Metal Opera part I&II
2.       The Scarecrow
3.       The Wicked Symphony y Angel of Babylon
4.       The Mystery of Time
5.       Ghostlights

As I suggested in the title of the post, it is expected that by February 15, 2019, go on sale his next studio album which will bear the title of Moonglow. So, I cannot wait to hear it!

To encourage you to listen to Moonglow, I add here an official album trailer. Enjoy it!
