Avantasia ; Symphonic power metal?

Hi!
Here I am, again
I found this band while listening to a song from ABBA; Lay all your love on me.
They appereantly covered that song what I think is rather funny
they're formed in 200 in Germany!
The vocals are AMAZING! If every powermetalband had such vocals, I think the (metal)world would go crazy!
Current line-up;
Tobias Sammet - Vocals, Bass, Keyboards, Piano, Orchestration
Sascha Paeth - Guitar ( Rhapsody of Fire!! )
Eric Singer - Drums ( Kiss, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath )
Michael "Miro" Rodenberg - Keyboards, Orchestration ( Kamelot )

They have 5CD's, 4 singles, 2 boxed-sets, 2EP's and 1 Best of compilation.

My favorite's are:
Another Angel down;

-- Amazing intro 9/10

Lay all your love on me ;

-- Amazing cover, very metal. 8.5/10

The final sacrifice;

-- Nice job with the intro, very 'orchestral'. 9/10

My favorite album is: The scarecrow (Lay all your love on me)

A general total of 8.7/10, But yet the vocals are WOW!


Cheers and stay metal!

haha avantasia is pure awesomness, i love edguy anyway and yeah, the vocals are awesome.

I bought the Metal opera pt1, when it just came out, i listened to it day and night!
Amazing band Avantasia, but tbh, i like the older (avantasia) stuff better.

I like it both, they are just great, imo.

Tobias is my personal hero man is pure genious. and best avantasia song imo is The Tower
