EDGUY Frontman On AVANTASIA Project: 'There's No Limits To OurCreativity' - Mar. 10, 2007
EDGUY frontman Tobias Sammet is currently working on the thirdinstallment of his solo project AVANTASIA. The album is being producedby Sascha Paeth, who also played the rhythm guitar on the CD. Thedrums were laid down by KISS/ALICE COOPER drummer Eric Singer and thebass is being handled by Tobias himself.
Commented Sammet: "I can't tell you how happy I am to be able to dothis. There is so much creativity in the studio and the materialsounds so great. There is so much variety — we got fast songs,mid-tempo songs, a few ballads. There are modern elements, epicelements, classic elements. There's no limits [to] our creativity andI feel blessed that I am allowed to work with the most talentedsidekicks I could ever dream of."
The new AVANTASIA album will be a concept album featuring differentsingers singing different characters in a story. But the conceptitself won't be a sequel to the first two AVANTASIA albums.
AVANTASIA's last release was the two-part epic called "The MetalOpera" (issued in 2001 and 2002), which featured an impressive arrayof guest vocalists playing the various characters of the opera,including Michael Kiske (ex-HELLOWEEN), David DeFeis (VIRGIN STEELE),Sharon Den Adel (WITHIN TEMPTATION), Kai Hansen (GAMMA RAY), AndréMatos (ANGRA, SHAAMAN), Timo Tolkki (STRATOVARIUS), Rob Rock(WARRIOR), and others.
