Tobias Sammet's Avantasia lost nieuw nummer

"You Know We'll Return Once Again / You Can Turn The Page / The Image Will Remain / We're In Your Dreams" 

Na bijna drie jaar brengt Tobias Sammet met z'n Avantasia een nieuw nummer uit: The Wicked Rule The Night. Zoals gewoonlijk op Avantasia nummers is er ook hier een gastzanger: Ralf Scheepers. Het is een eerste voorproefje van een nieuw album getiteld A Paranormal Evening with the Moonflower Society.

Tobias Sammet: "I'm so happy with the upcoming album that you could put out any song as the first single. But somehow, after the last two years, I felt the need to go full steam ahead as soon as I'm let off the leash. And honestly, it's also cool to know that many would probably have expected a less extreme track to accompany AVANTASIA's re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. But AVANTASIA is not stylistically fixed, anything goes, commercial, epic, grotesque or full on the bell, doesn't matter: All that is part of AVANTASIA's very own world. We have found our own pigeonhole and different laws apply there. The fans of the first hour know that. And so I have the feeling that "The Wicked Rule The Night" is unpredictable, exciting, fresh and new, despite my trademarks, as you know them partly from AVANTASIA or also EDGUY. Playing it safe is a lot of hogwash."
