Background notes
Archive material and source history
Tobias Sammet started Avantasia in 2000 while also fronting the German metal band Edguy. The project's first album, The Metal Opera, came out in 2001 with guest appearances from singers like Michael Kiske and Sharon den Adel. It told a fantasy story about a character named Gabriel using alchemy.
Avantasia has kept releasing albums fairly regularly since then, including The Wicked Symphony, The Mystery of Time, and Moonglow in 2019. The songs often blend heavy metal with elaborate, story-driven concepts. Titles like "Alchemy," "Moonglow," and "Ghost In The Moon" give a sense of the theatrical, sometimes mystical tone.
There was a brief pause around 2006 due to label issues, and the project has occasionally drawn criticism about musical similarities to other work. But it has maintained a consistent output and a dedicated following for its particular mix of metal and narrative ambition.
