]]> It’s less than 2 months before the new double album will be released and we already know the titles of the songs that will appear on the CDs. I have already updated the DISCOGRAPHY, so feel free to read through the names and imagine what will be the songs about.

Previously advised:

In the fall of 2009, Sammet announced the release of two new albums, The Wicked Symphony and Angel of Babylon, to be released on April 3, 2010. The story is set as a continuation of The Scarecrow. Some of the special guests have been announced: drummers Eric Singer, Alex Holzwarth and Felix Bohnke, keyboardist Jens Johansson of Stratovarius, as well as vocalists Michael Kiske, Bob Catley, Jørn Lande, Tim “Ripper” Owens, Klaus Meine, Russell Allen, Andre Matos and Jon Oliva.

]]> Another musician participating in new Avantasia has just been announced. This time he is no one less important than JON OLIVA, the man behind legendary American progressive band SAVATAGE, his solo band JON OLIVA’S PAIN and last but not least TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, a highly successful project especially in the North America. According to Tobias Sammet, Jon will appear in one song only – “Death Is Just A Feeling”, a song that allegedly could be “a perfect chapter in a horror musical”. I guess Jon’s fans can easily imagine it!

In addition to the guest musician, the artwork of both “The Wicked Symphony” and “Angel of Babylon” discs has also been revealed. Its author is Thomas Ewerhard, the man who is also responsible among others for Edguy’s “Hellfire Club” and Avantasia’s last album “The Scarecrow”.

New Avantasia double disc will be available in regular edition, one box deluxe edition and 2LP editions on April 3. Any of them can be already pre-ordered at Nuclear Blast Online Shop.

If you are curious what to expect, check out TobiasSammet.com! Several European hard & heavy journalists have already had the opportunity to hear most of the songs and their oppinions does not leave any space for hesitation that Avantasia will be one of the best albums of this year.

]]> After two female singers on Avantasia – Sharon del Adel (on “Avantasia: The Metal Opera I & II”) and Amanda Somerville (on “The Scarecrow”) – the man behind Avantasia, Tobias Sammet, has just announced another female vocalist for the new Avantasia double album. Her name is Cloudy Yang and Avantasia fans may be already familiar with her, as she was singing backing vocals on Avantasia tour in 2008 and her voice can also be heard in Dragonfly song (from last Edguy album “Tinnitus Sanctus”). You can find her in some videos from 2008 tour, e.g. this one.

Tobias Sammet’s praiseful comment on her is located at www.tobiassammet.com as well as full list of guest musicians which includes Bruce Kullick, Klaus Meine, Tim “Ripper” Owens, Michael Kiske, Jorn Lande, Eric Singer, Jens Johansson…
I just remind that the discs will be called “Angel of Babylon” and “The Wicked Symphony” and come out on April 3.
