Description:

This is the memorable first album of the metal opera project "Tobias Samet's Avantasia" led by "Tobias Samet" of "Ed Guy". The project started with the idea of having many artists play the songs written by Tobias Samet himself. The project became a grand metal opera project, featuring such talented vocalists as Michael Kiske, Kai Hansen, Sharon den Ardel, Rob Rock, and Andre Matos, as well as other splendid guests. This work was well received and established "Tobias Samet" as a standard-bearer of the new generation of German metal. The album features "Avantasia" and "Sign of the Cross", which are still live staples, as well as "Reach Out for the Light", "Serpents in Paradise", "Fairwell", "Inside", and many other classic songs. SHM-CD, the first time it has been released in the same paper jacket + SHM-CD format as the 2017 reissue of Ed Guy.
