Who would have dared to dream that the words "Avantasia" and "Phantom of The Paradise" would eventually appear on the same album cover ?
But it is now a dream come true because Tobias Sammet finally and officially announced that the "New Phantom Project" would definitely be the next Avantasia rock epic. Joss Whedon was so over his head with the major motion picture Avengers 2 that he finally agreed to let his Phantom go his own way.
Although it is quite a deception to see the on-stage part of the project fade away, you have to admit that Tobias Sammet's hability to gather an unexpected wild bunch of metal gunslingers casts a new exciting spell on the whole thing.
Still based on the original Joss Whedon's "scenata" (story and lyrics), and still co-produced by legendary Mountain King Jon Oliva, the record will gather as many rock and metal legends as ever.
Stick around for the official name announcements !
