THE STORY
It is 2020 A.D - The Elements send 4 Angels to observe mankind and its actions in the last century. There are 4 Angels, but still they are One. Fire, Wind, Earth and Water are their names. With the Elements they observe in unimaginable sadness and anger the primitive events that take place in the last 150 years as they have the ability to go back and forth in time. As they give their final warning, Mankind sees unimaginable destruction that shakes its core foundations. Pandora`s Box is opened and the forces of Nature are unleashed. Is this the prelude for Judgement Day...
THE ALBUM
The concept of the Avalon Metal Opera was born in the second half of 2012, when the Finnish composer and producer Timo Tolkki, former STRATOVARIUS guitar player and one of the true forefathers of the Power Metal genre, decided to move forward with his career and work on a project which could allow him to express his musical creativity without any boundaries, within the Classic Metal genre.
The debut "The Land of New Hope" was released in May 2013 and entered the national album charts in 7 European countries, including a top 10 entry in Tolkki's home country, Finland. The album featured performances by numerous internationally acclaimed singers and musicians such as Michael Kiske, Elize Ryd, Russell Allen, Sharon Den Adel, Tony Kakko, Alex Holzwarth, Jens Johansson, Derek Sherinian and of course Timo Tolkki himself.
Tolkki resumed the work for a second album with the concept of developing the sound and the music in an even more grandiose and symphonic metal mood, even though from the beginning there was the idea to go in a heavier and darker direction which better fits the Apocalyptic scenarios described in this new album.
On the musicians' side, Tolkki finally managed to reunite the legendary STRATOVARIUS "Dreamspace" lineup, calling Antti Ikonen and Tuomo Lassila to play keyboards and drums respectively. The amazing vocal cast appearing this time include the new NIGHTWISH singer Floor Jansen -- handling lead vocals on the first single "Design The Century" -- along with Simone Simons (EPICA), Fabio Lione (RHAPSODY OF FIRE), David DeFeis (VIRGIN STEELE), Zachary Stevens (ex SAVATAGE, CIRCLE II CIRCLE) plus Elize Ryd (AMARANTHE) who appears again after the first album and the stunning Chilean singer Caterina Nix, who is working on her debut album which is also produced by Tolkki.

Who's listening
in 2023?.. 2024?
I definitely - YES!
Floor Jansen💓
Tolkki has quite the collection of collaborators: Floor Jansen, Simone Simons, Elize Ryd, Sharon den Adel . . . you know you're a legend when these people take your calls.
Even being a big Floor fan I've never heard this before & the guitarist's playing goes perfectly with her vocals.Amazing!🎸🎤
Timo Tolkki is like wine. The older is the better. He was shredding when most of todays crop of guitarists were in nappies, or just a glint in their dad's eyes. Hes 10 times as soulful as most guitarists and his tone is incomparable. His later stuff is killer. Long live Timo Tolkki's Avalon
It's nice to see and hear that Tolkki's guitar skills haven't rusted since his days in Stratovarius/Revolution Renaissance/Symfonia.
Floor is a Valkyrie...♥ When I die I want Her to take me to Valhalla ...
there's interviews on RUclips where Floor has repeated said she is NOT a valkyrie.
You'll want to do the Volund thing with her.
@@redfenix77 man of culture
@Palynzer she clearly said she was not in the interview and added that swords and fighting were not her thing. So, you are WRONG!
Absolutely!!!
I clicked on this because of Floor Jansen. :)
same here, turned out not even close to how she usually sings -_-
DerLetzteTag23 She's grown since then. :)
*****
She just got a bad song...
***** It's no surprise that she's a good looking lady and a great singer. :)
***** She's awesome, but I think she's being had back talent wise in Nightwish.
2 grandes, timo tremendo guitarrista y fundador de Stratovarius y floor la mejor voz femenina lejos q ha pasado x Nightwish
La Mejor Voz Femenina Del Mundo En La Mejor Banda Del Mundo Nightwish supera a todas las bandas de rock de todos los géneros
It's a nice little song. They don't all have to be epic. I find it enjoyable.
👍👍👍👍
Great video!!! I LIKE FLOOR JANSEN it is a great singer... saludos desde argentina.

I clicked on this because of Timo Tolkki and Floor Jansen.
OMG - this voice!
Sounds great, his don it again. Timo keep it coming
Great job. Congratulations, from Brazil.
This was shortly after she joined Nightwish, and it looks and sounds like they wanted a big name. They would not have needed the Valkyrie-Goddess for that. It is far below her abilties.
Same here she is pure perfection
beautiful song I like too!
Se extraña en Stratovarius igual buen material Tolkki!
No sabia de esta gran dupla :0

Хованский и Флор, круто!

The guitar intro sounds just like prowler from Iron Maiden
I love Zeena and Chris Farley. Hilarity ensues in this clasic SNL Sketch.
Здорово!!!
Floor my wife OMG Maybe in next life =)
10/10 für floor
Валькирия, Ангел
Floor Jansen is THE GODDESS, but why do you in an age of full HD and 4K make these blurry and out-of-focus videos?
Хорошая работа!\m/
Familiar style we know from Tolkki, but I'm listening on a pair of high end Genelec monitors and there's no low end and no bass at all in the mix, please remaster and fix this!!
Muy plano y predecible, el no lucio como debería ,por lo menos hubiera compuesto algo para que Floor luciera más, es una de las mejores cantantes a nivel mundial y desaprovecharla así , no que barbaridad!!!, queda a deber bastante esta composición
Fire!!!
childs into 12 yeras old, must be very happy with this. tolkki when you going back to record some serius material, with serious people?
Floor !!!!!!
Floor forced me to click on this 😁
the guitar sound om telolet om,
Such an amazing voice and talent wasted in one song.....
La valkiria y timo thorlkki

The fat guy on guitar is the muse in our beloved Queen Floor Jansen's court .
I love you Floor !
What what the fucks say I love the song I love this song is best song I love this girl
You love this girl? 😉
Timor was the greatestimate, during his Stratovarius times. But not today's!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Uhh
(looks around)
So when is the next Avantasia album coming out ??
Can'y find the Latin lyrics of the choir anywhere, anyone?
Floor - talante
As the video goes, Timo gets weirder with his guitar playing haha specially before the solo 😂😂
Super freu mich schon drauf !!
Nada de novo!
This is like the kind of rock track that plays in a PS1 2D PVC game lol
Teacher : Name 2 awesome artists and 2 awesome bands from Finland
Me : Floor Jansen, Timo Tolkki, Nightwish, Stratovarius
Then you failed. Floor is Dutch.
@@j.f.l.bousquet1998 Thx, Tarja Turunen then.
03:02 solo = twisted sister - i am im me solo
Sound similar....
I'm not really into this song.....just into Floor...
Your history Floor is Nightwish....
Any news about Avalon? Second single? New singers being revealed? Anybody gives a damn flying crap that fans want to know this kind of stuff?
Guest singers have been revealed for a few months: David DeFeis (Virgin Steele) + Fabio Lione (Rhapsody of Fire) + Floor Jansen (Nightwish/ReVamp) + Simone Simons (Epica) + Elize Ryd (Amaranthe) + Zachary Stevens (Circle II Circle) + Caterina Nix.
Album releases next week.
buek14 Exactly! Those have been revealed few moths ago. What about those four free spots? Who are these session musicians? avalonopera.com/the-cast/
I LIKE TIMO GUITAR HORO
¿Quién fue el productor de esto? o.O
The song is good but that guitar solo sounds a little familiar i don´t know why...
is because he is doing the same fucking solo since the 90s
it's just hello to Iron Maiden - Prowler
In his troubled mind hides genius talent.
Timo u are just GREAT! the others can't even reach a lame shadow of you
a música não ficou ruim... a masterização, equalização dos instrumentos sim, ficou muito baixo, sem "pressão" entendem?
They did her dirty in the thumbnail lmao
Prowler feel to it?
el secreto es escuchar la cancion sin ver el video
Timo Tolkki is a absolute legend, too bad his health got the better of him.
Timo is a greedy peace of sh_t. His wife is currently divorcing him and he is trying to get to her father´s money. His wife Dominika´s father was famous czech singer Karel gott, he died 5 month ago. After that Timo started to embarass himself in czech media, his wife run away from him and return back to Prague and started divorce. I lost all respect for him.
when you realize that stratovarius never will be the same
I agree. The elements Pt1 & pt2 albums were probably their best work in my honest opinion
The song is not bad at all but this is more about Floor's Midas Touch than any other thing...
Also is strange to see her sing this "boring" and "no emotions" way. Floor really can do all!
Clean that schmeged Fender.
