AVANTASIA announce ‘A Paranormal Evening with the Moonflower Society’

Tobias Sammet is back with a new Avantasia album. The ninth Avantasia longplayer will be released on October 21st and will come via Nuclear Blast. The title – ‘A Paranormal Evening with the Moonflower Society’.

Sammet about the new album:

“From the first song ideas back in 2018 / 2019 to the production, orchestration, keyboards, arrangements, details, I have been personally involved so deeply in every little aspect and detail of this album, that you can’t get an album any more personal or closer to my vision than this one. I had the time, nothing else to do in the past two and a half years, it was a slow movement life with music and my Mysteryhausen studio serving as a portal to another world, full of music and quirky encounters with my muses keeping me sane and hopeful. I am super proud of the album, some of my best songs, some of my most emotional and extreme vocal performances, some of the strongest guest performances ever. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and when you’ll hear it, you will know why!”

To get a first taste of the new album, Avantasia launched a new song called ‘The Wicked Rule the Night’, featuring Primal Fear frontman Ralf Scheepers. You can enjoy the song here: https://youtu.be/IfbIAJy9kF8
