Edguy / Avantasia / Tobias Sammet

Available has been confirmed for some European festivals for next year and Tobi is hinting towards a new album at some point and maybe a new single before the tour.

A Paranormal bla bla bla was ok, but honestly quite disappointing, hopefully he can strike back with a stronger album this time. And I hope he replaces most guest singers except the alrightful king of Norway, Jorn I.
 
I've really liked Tate's contributions on the last two albums. I wouldn't mind if he stayed too. I guess I'm in the minority as the latest two albums are my favorites.

Wonder if we can finally hear a few new singers now. It’s getting a little silly to have Eric Martin, Jørn Lande and Michael Kiske on almost every album.

I agree and I hope he shakes things up for this one.

Honestly, them and Bob Catley are the only reason I keep listening to them. Aside from the first 2 master plan albums, and the allen-Lande projects, this is where I like Jorn best, same for the keeper albums with Kiske, especially since he "quit" metal until Sammett brought him on board for this. So I'm fine if they stay until they drop dead
 
A video for the first single of the next album has been posted on YouTube. :)

As usual, it will be cool to get a new Avantasia album, but I hope for a couple of surprises now. Like a few new singers, more theatrical but also some old-school power metal would be awesome

Definitely (old school power metal!), although I'm fine as long as the music is solid. Is Bruce not interested?

^That sounds cool. The cover could have been less cartoonish. The single is catchy, but that's it really.

I look forward to another Geoff Tate song. Sammet brings out really good lines and delivery from him.
