Avantasia - The Scarecrow [2008]
Hi Everyone! Sorry for the lack of music posts (which is my main area) from me recently, but I haven’t had a lot of time recently. I’m back and today I present to you the brand new Avantasia (Side project of Edguy frontman Tobias Sammet) album which was released a few days ago by group AMRC! This was one of my first favourite power metal bands and I highly recommend anyone checking out their first two albums. Sammet is a great vocalist, composer and on top of that a really funny and cool guy (I was fortunate enough to meet him in 2005). Enjoy and support the artist if you like the music!
Avantasia is a symphonic metal project created by Tobias Sammet, vocalist and frontman of the power metal group Edguy. The project’s title is a portmanteau of the words “avalon” and “fantasia” (”fantasy”) and describes “a world beyond human imagination” (a quotation from the booklet). The project consists of a self-titled EP, two full length albums with the subtitle The Metal Opera, two EPs called Lost in Space, and the upcoming album The Scarecrow.

sounds good…
If you like this (or even if you don’t) search here for the recent Ayreon release. It’s superior in every way.
Why do all these power-metal band members look like they just walked out of “Queer eye for the straight guy”? There is nothing ‘rock’ about them, bunch of pussies…
I do really dislike Power-Metal, it’s one of the worst Sub-Genres imho. Posting Music over here isn’t the best idea. I mean, some VA-Collection or something is fine but albums from single artist? There are just way to many different tastes and there’s so much music released everyday and picking one of the more “popular” and letting the others drown in the mass (even if they would be better) isn’t the thing. You can’t fit the people with music you like in a big blog like rlslog, I would prefer not to have albums posted than taking so much space with one single album you like.
post some good OSTs or Collections instead ;).
@mh…
You havent been able to figure out the category system yet then? If you want for example a moooovie, you click on the Moooovies link
This post is for people who LIKE power metal which means power metal fans are going to click on this post. That also means nobody here wants to hear you talk shit about it.
I don’t like metal music either, and the i choose what to hear.
I downloaded this accidently thought it was the other “Anastasia” lol but i have to say form what i heard since and now, it is very very interesting music and really nice to hear.
Rock and other fans download it….
i like the cover.looked like a good movie.lol
Avantasia to Anastasia
i guess i am drunk a little…..

Well, looks like you made a right fool out of yourself, since there is ZERO growling in this album. Further Tobias Sammet is one of the most respected vocalists in power metal and has a much more impressive voice than any of the generic pop bands i presume you listen to…
Dumbass
Thanks, ReeGed.
Doesn’t the Tobias Sammet’s voice resemble Kamelot’s vocalist at times?
..yo.. folk– fuldobra stran za musko…

Any RS link to the AMRC release ?
@ OST i mh
shut up, you dumbass idiots…if you dislike this, go listen britney spears and that rap crap…

Ost, rappers arent really singing either, are they?
oh btw, buy a belt, your pants are falling down…
I already have this and It’s a solid metal album. Not as good as the Metal Opera albums but still good stuff.
\m/o\m/
There is no scene release of this album yet and btw it’s only reencoded 128k crap :-(.
How dose this stack up against Slayer ?
this band has been leaked on the net for a week, now I hope its not a crappy promo version..
4# reardon: great recommendation. but if u want album that everyone is gonna love, give them: ayreon - the human equation. one of the best album, if not the best album by ayreon.
@ReeGed; Youre staff, so try at LEAST not to act like a child… about your so called genious category’s: the music section is all kinds of music. it could be anything from minimalism to noise etc. and to bad it happens to be on the front page of the blog. anyway - forget it, it’s your job to figgure it out as music is your main area.
Thanks!! Great Post, Me Likey!
i agree with @16 mantra, he does sound like kamelot’s singer
Wow, I thought it would leak much earlier.
I’ve got this album for a while now and really like it so to all: come to Wacken Open Air this year, his only live gig! 
I’m not the biggest Sammet fan but if you have a chance to see him live with Avabtasia or Edguy use it. Saw them at the last Bang your Head. Didn’t expect much but was positively suprised by them.
Ammm… is good but is slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, the first album is better coz is a fast powermetal
Im coming to Wacken for sure, last year was awesome and the line-up this year is amazing

Dark Suns - Grave Human Genuine (2008) (No scene release yet I think)
All great albums
@12.lol. what did u actually think i d/l’d this piece of crap and wasted my time listening 2 it. Lead singer looks like he is a chipped finger nail away from retirement (lol, queer eye guys look more scary then this queen)
@19. Britney Spears? thats original. How bout i hit u baby 1 more time?!
@21. lol @ belt 4 pants. Did u think of that while applying your eye-liner and mascara?
Ya’ll chumps like those pimp-slaps? More where they come from.
OsT
@OST
Why don’t you tell us what we should be listening to?
Enlighten us with your superior musical tastes..
After trying this music out I have came to the conclusion that it falls under a different catagory. Pansy Metal.
To those saying Tobi’s voice sounds like Roy Khan of Kamelot, Roy actually is the first voice you hear on this album as he guest sings on the first track, so maybe you’re confusing him with Tobias
And yes, I think this is a fake for two reasons,
1) Quality is suspect (i.e. Track 3 sounds very muffled compared to others)
2) There’s no “Promo” tag in the title, and I doubt this is a retail, would probably have that tag as well if it was.
But that aside, it’s a pretty good album…different from the first two, but very solid nonetheless.
what i listening 2 @ moment???
hmmm lets see, i’m “rocking” DJ Green Lantern - I Produced That, DJ Doc Roc - Jay-Z & Led Zeppelin - American Zeppelin, Hussein Fatal - Makaveli Soldiers (RIP 2PAC)+ Snoop Dogg and Game - The Reunion Mixtape. Go on call me what u want, i listen 2 wiggles 2 (got kids) and i’m sorry 2 say it but Murry from the wiggles looks harder then the lead-singer from Avantasia.
Mater-of-fact Anastasia looks like she could beat him in a girl-fight. Maybee thats why there names are so close.
PIMP-SLAPPED @ ALL
OsT
Haha, OST
I laughed my ass off when I found out you have kids. From the way you speak and attack peoples musical tastes for no apparent reason I had predicted you are around 15 years old xD
Needless to say you are an extremely immature human being
LOL… @ least i am human, and have kids. Don’t worry ‘power’ a real life woman might let u touch her 1 day (even if u have 2 pay 4 it) so all in all, u have 3 choices.
a) D!e a lonely Virgin
b) Catch a nice STD off a hooker
c) Dig up a d3@d chick (u will need lube)
all in all my opinion is my own and if u don’t like it eat nads + ch0ke.
Oh and by the way i prob got more SNATCH @ the age of 15 then u will ever get your whole life so don’t h8, masturb@te. Go on, we all know u know how.
Looks 2 me tha POWER just got Un-Plugged
P!MP SL@P’d
OsT
SLAYER RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Stay out of the tread if you dislike the music that bad.

actually,the singer has an awful voice.it would be better if it were instrumental.
Actually that ain’t wierd, seeing how “kamelot’s singer” Roy Khan is doing guest vocals on this album, which is also the only listenable vocals there are on this entire disc.
