Avantasia_DVD_Cover.jpg


Due to be released March 2011. A double live CD and 2 DVD set ...can be purchased separately or as a limited edition box set.

Covering their 2008 world tour.

It will be mine...Oh yes..it will be mine....


Was updating my collection thread and these guys were in the mix! These guys are one of the best bands bar none I've discovered through the forum so I figured this thread deserves a bump with a song I just discovered I like! :grinthumb

Crestfallen
(kind of an electronic 80's vibe IMO, really creative and different)

Nice Bump!!! Love that tune!!

The NEW single and video SLEEPWALKING



:bow: :bow: :bow:

This is AWESOME man! I've always heard these guys as a power pop outfit in the same way as Meatloaf and early Bon Jovi with just more a Metal influence! I'm going to buy this on the strength of the single alone! One question though, who's the chick and has she done anything on her own? :)

There's heavy stuff on all the albums. More so than ballads. Here's a cool one from the new CD

I picked it up a couple days ago but haven't listened to it yet.

The album is great! This track right here is perfect aaaand I just barely found out one of the vocalist is Eric Martin from Mr. Big! :grinthumb

What's Left of Me


:bow:

Metal, I know you might find these cheesy comparisons for a Metal group but with the three albums I own I hear what I think is a really cool fusion of Meatloaf or at least Steinman type compositions with a Bon Jovi pop rock approach. Don't get me wrong it's all Metal but it stands out because of these pop sensibilities! :)
