Tobias Sammet: There’s nothing less appealing to me than a song that describes how the fucking elves get from Forest A to Valley B!
It’s a life achievement. It is a religion of vision. What else can we say? A piece of art, it’s a seventh wonder of the world.
Avantasia – Moonglow Review
“Moonglow” is a symbiosis between old and new. That means the structure of the record and the songs are both new, but also familiar
Avantasia live at Playstation Theater, NYC on April 15th, 2016 and live gig review Berlin, March 4th 2016
I’ve rarely seen so much playfulness, funny and talented people together on one stage. Avantasia are still a household number when it comes to live performances.

Interview with Amanda Somerville of Kiske/Somerville, Avantasia, Trillium
She has one of the finest female voices in Rock & Metal: Amanda Somerville. The Michigan singer/songwriter/vocal coach works very hard and loves every moment. Working in the music industry, especially in the Rock & Metal genre, for 15 years she was part of countless projects and featured as a background singer on many metal records from Kamelot, Epica, Avantasia; the list goes on and on. At the moment she is on tour with Rock Meets Classic. Which was the perfect time to meet with her and ask her some questions about the new Kiske/Somerville album, the Metal community, talent shows, Rock Meets Classic and much more.
Edguy – Space Police: Defenders Of The Crown Review
I think I don’t need to say so much about the musicianship on this album. All bandmembers are in fantastic shape and everyone has moments on this album where he can shine. The band is tight as ever and Tobi Sammet is also in top form. Productionwise it’s a bit too polished this time. Some more edges and a more raw production would have fit better to the songs.
