]]> As you already now on April 3rd Tobias will release his new  Avantasia double album “The Wicked Symphony/Angel Of Babylon”. One of the most exiting songs on the album will be “Dying For An Angel” featuring Scorpions-vocalist Klaus Meine. But this song of course will not be the only collaboration of these two bands. The Scorpions are starting their farewell tour in May and they also have invited Edguy to be a part of stunning series of  gigs and play as special guests on the German part of the farewell tour.

As Tobias said it is really a great pleasure to have been invited by the biggest German rockband ever and to accompany them  on their tour. The Scorpions has created the way for all German bands, no matter what other bands say. They were the first band that succeed also outsite Germany and they proved that they are worth listening to with countless catchy albums, mega hits and wonderful shows. I will never forget  a common show we played in Bulgaria when i was watching them from the side of the stage and how impressed i was with their performance.

Iwas totally taken by Klaus’ vocal performance when he recorded some vocals for our upcoming album. He is definitely one of the most talented rock singers ever. From the other site, we as a fans of Scorpions feel quite sad that  this will be the last chance to share the stage but on the other side we fell honoured and we are looking forward to celebrating with them on tour and share the stage for the last time.

]]> 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.
