Angel Of Babylon

Description

Avantasia are no strangers to the grandiose, as evidenced by their ambitious Metal Opera series and their affinity of and dexterity with eloquently placing guest musicians in their songs. They’ve now outdone themselves with two separate but complimentary studio albums – Angel of Babylon and 2010’s The Wicked Symphony. This epic rock opera spans two full albums and brings the listener further into their fantastical otherworld they’ve come to be known for. The Wicked Symphony has done quite well in the US, and now fans can complete the epic story! Frontman/songwriter Tobias Sammet (also of Edguy) has invited a who’s who of rock and metal musicians to join him, including Jorn Lande (Yngwie Malmsteen), Russell Allen (Symphony X), Jon Oliva (Savatage), Eric Singer (KISS), Bruce Kulick (KISS) and Michael Kiske (Helloween)!
