by Heiner Salomon (null) What Tobias Sammet already announced with his Single has become reality. "The metal opera - Part I" is Sammet's wish come true as he says. And what he gives to the public can sheer be called a masterpiece. The story behind this concept album is quite complicated because it is unbelievably complex and expanding. To put it into a nutshell, one could say it is a fantasy story based partly on Medieval times, partly on a religious background. To get into it more deeply I recommend the booklet reading to you. Each guest-vocalist takes over a different character, whereas Sammet is the novice Gabriel and Ernie (Michael Kiske) the druid Lugaid, as the two main characters. The musical line-up of Avantasia is beside Sammet: Henjo Richter (Gamma Ray), Markus Grosskopf (Helloween) and Alex Holzwart (Rhapsody). Apropos Part I: There will definitely be a part II and probably even a part III. But until then you should get yourself this one, because it's worth every cent!
