Okay, so this evolved from "Avantasia song with Hansi on it" to "a great Avantasia song", then to "really fucking amazing masterpiece", and finally to"my favourite Avantasia song of all time". I still can't believe it came out last year

I am so happy... This music was released on my birthday, 12/14. Blind Guardian is my favorite band and the next in line is Avantasia. To listen to three of my favorite singers in the same song made me cry. Thank you Tobi. I am waiting for you guys here in Brazil!
I spent my highschool days listening mostly to Blind Guardian and I can't express how glad I am that Hansi is still being recognised as an amazing vocalist that he is.
@@MichaelHolmgaard The Piper Never Dies is epic but personally, I find The Seven Angels to be his pinnacle of songwriting with The Eternal Wayfarer following as a very close second. But hey, that's just my opinion. :)
@@warriorsorb1111Same, Dying for an Angel, Raven child and Scarecrow.. But I can't say the order, although Raven Child is my go-to song if I want to relax.
Tobias never ceases to amaze me. He has this natural skill to tell a whole story with music and choose the best interpreters to it. Great song! I can't wait for the whole album
Hansi, my fu........ god, how he sings!!!!!! Jorn is getting old and his voice getting better like wine. Thanks for The Christmas gift guys, really thank you.
The good taste of Tobias always surprises me and he keeps doing it, The high notes and vibratto of Jorn never desapoints me , unique voice. Best voices ever seeing
A new youth for our mutual friend Hansi: back on orchestral project, back with Jon from IE on Demons&Wizards new album and live dates ... and this back in team with his long time friend Tobias (Vain glory Opera song still kicking asses and giving lesson about good old power metal style).
Producer: you cant release an 11 minute long song as a single! No radio station in the world will play it! Tobias: dude, its a symphonic power metall album. No radio station in the world would have played it anyway. Actual conversation that happened.
Wow. Tobi is really the "God of songwriting". The Intro is... cannot discribe it... It is the Heart of the "The Bards Song", the atmosphere and the voice extracted and then he put it in a great Avantasia Song. Absolute amazing.
My God Tobi, what have you done... Music that almost brings tears to my eyes... THIS is exactly WHY human beings are equipped with ears, to listen to a musical score pumped out by a genius musician who creates scores that make love with your ears. Hail the new album of the little Mozart of Metal, Tobias Sammet!
It seems to be the anti-scarecrow.. The Scarecrow album was about the creature [Scarecrow] looking for love, acceptance into the bright new world he was exploring to escape the monotony of his dark fields he tended.. Moonglow on the other hand, is the story of a nocturnal creature that sees this bright world he never knew existed, and he avoids and runs away from the light, instead preferring to bask in the "Moonglow" of the dark night.
I love this comment. I was thinking this album was significantly more positive in tone and feel and this song in particular has a strong resemblance to The Scarecrow. That resemblance is so strong that I've mentally logged this as their second greatest piece under The Scarecrow, but the lyrical interpretation you offer is so apt. I think what I love about both pieces, adding to your contrast, is that the lyrics and singing in The Scarecrow are masterful, as is the instrumentation and composition. However, they shine independent from one another. The Raven Child is quite different. Through almost the whole song, with equal lyrics, singing, instrumentation, and composition, there's a constant play off each other. The strip of bars between 3:15 and 4:03 is an example of this. They accentuate and boost one another in this conscious effort that makes this song the star of this album. Great catch with the "anti-Scarecrow."
I see that theme for sure. For me, this album was more of a loose concept about escapism, which means a lot to me being that I love fantasy and fictional stories since they allow me to get away from this world for a bit while enjoying another world where I can actually make a difference.
This is one of Tobias Sammet's best weapons, to become a born leader by enhancing the virtues of his collaborators, admiring them and promulgating a respect that shows that it is sincere. Definitely this song becomes a Masterpiece.
@@monsieurbreakdown4814 Far from being one of greatest dude. Nowadays can't sing n he suffers emotional sickness. Sorry, i can tell u a lot of better singers easily!!!!
@@igoralves7258 Dude,i know Roy and NC almost 15 years. Roy is sick n lost the little bit of voice he had. U can be a Pavarotti on Studio man,sorry. I'm not a hater,just a realistic man.
You can also fast-forward to the end of the song and restart it, which somehow gets rid of the ad. Guess it considers it watched when the video ends or something.
Yeah, I listened to Metal Opera Pt. 1&2 and Blind Guardian so long ago. I always wanted them to cross paths at some point! I also can't wait for Blind Guardian's orchestral album coming out later this year!
Oh damn I love T. Sammet's singing style, the vibrato, how he finishes phrases, such a delight! also Kursch sings like a medieval fairy tale character, always imagined him like some sort of a prophet in the dark ages
The moment I saw they were finally touring in Australia I bought a ticket. No hesitation and fuck me this track has just affirmed how good a decision that was.
@@Moonsunband there was never a doubt about that, its Tobias after all. That lad made me fall in love with music time and time again for like 17 years. I'm so pumped for it! I cant believe how much this track has given me goosebumps, its metal, its rock but it's so beautiful...
each album goes through a different school of magick. Ghostlights was Thaumaturgy, The Metal Opera was Abrahamic, Scarecrow was Ars Goetia, etc. Moonglow is Alchemy. So in the context of Alchemy, Salt is female, Sulfur is male and Mercury is the Hermaphrodite.
Dear Tobi, First and foremost, we would like to shout out the BRILLIANT fact that releasing a single over 11 minutes long takes some SERIOUS BALLS of steel 😍!!! This clearly shows that you value your fans above "radio-friendliness", as the classics would call it. This song is EPIC, DREAM-INDUCING, POETIC and TRANSMUNDANE beyond a single drop of doubt 😍! Your world and your music together have become an EVER-ENCHANTING universe that your fans and friends can elope to. THANK YOU for your dedication, your passion, and, above all, thank you for your gift. KEEP THOSE METAL HORNS UP AND ROCK ON!!! \m/ \m/ 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍
The show I went to in Los Angeles was AMAZING! They played for 3.5 hours, it was SO GOOD, even though Tobias was sick, he still rocked it out the whole night! Hansi wasn't there for it, but Jorn and Geoff and the others were, it was epic. :)
9:05 First Time I listened to this song, I went "YEAH" Right after this part because of how much It blew me away, And It was at the exact some time they sang it in the song, And that made me happy
So I went to the Waken page this afternoon and more than a few people were disappointed this band wasn't on the bill so I came here to check them out. I'm going to do that more often. This band is awesome.
Those who compared the genius of Tobi with the likes of Mozart and Shakespeare weren't really stretching anything. He's indeed a truly distinct mastermind of composing from our time. It's a breathtaking effusiveness and poetic awe, which are converged so distinctly (hence the "Avant-Garde" style) which still, it yet happens for me to get a bit lost haha. I would be very thanked if someone could share their personal mindblows and interpretations towards this magnificent piece.
Hansi makes this song absolutely amazing -steals the show completely. Never new he would fit so well into Avantasia! And amazing songwriting form Tobi of course. This album sounds like it could be their best since Metal Opera II
Literally freaking crying!!!! I love this song so much! Heard it for the first time yesterday and it made me tear up... my dog died yesterday and this song made me remember him. Thanks for this release, Tobi. Your music always knows how to move my soul! I can't wait to see you next year!
I'm sorry for your doggy, i know how bad it feels... 😢 luckly for us we have Avantasia to warm our hearts in these moments... and all the others. Everything is going to be okay, ALWAYS. 😊
@@BootlessMan thank you for the kind words. :(. My dog actually loved watching avantasia videos with me when I was home and cooking. We had good times together. I am just looking so forward to this album! This song alone is so well written and the celtic and gregorian elements made it even better!!!
La canción es genial, el aporte de Hansi al comienzo es muy mágico y acabando con Jorn y su fuerza... ¡¡¡Maestro Sammet se ha salido con esta canción!!!
Los primeros minutos de hansi (wizard) que magia. Y después del minuto 6 con el coro gregoriano y jorn (beast) toma un color impresionate el pico del tema hasta me parece que canta bien tobi, el coro principal se pone más pomposo. Por dios ya lo escuche unas 30 veces y con el sólo de Sasha piel de gallina.
Das beste was ich in den letzten Jahren gehört habe.Hoffentlich kann er noch mehr so epische Songs kreieren. Hansi in einem unglaublich stimmungsvollen Intro. Ich habe sie in Bamberg und in München gesehen. Avantasia hat immer hervorragend geliefert. Bitte Tobi, wenn du das lesen solltest, mach bitte weiter so.
Hansi und Jorn machen klar das Rennen!! Ich freu mich auf Berlin. Und eins muss man Herrn Sammet lassen: Er kann große epische Werke erschaffen, egal ob Savage Poetry, der Piper oder eben Avantasia. Es ist zwar absouter "Plüschmetal", aber ich finds einfach nur geil. Kompositorisch/Texlich absolut spitze. Glückwunsch Herr Sammet! Ein Meisterwerk
Of course the whole song is masterpiece but I dont know why, the part "A fire in the dark for the fool ........ " has some rare melody that I have to repeat it for cca 5 times until I let the song continue. Tobi is genius.
What a masterpiece........unbelievable.....you guys rule .....killing me 11 minutes long\m/ ......Hansi´s voice is killing my heart into thousand pieces .....Awesome
I am truly floored!!! Came here for ft. Hansi, I don't follow Avantasia closely but I'm definitely hooked into this album now! What a fucking masterpiece. You guys are GODS. Hansi's voice is legendary.
I love Blind Guardian, but especially the Hansi Kürsch's voice, he should take part in more Avantasia's albums. Great work Tobias!!! I've just done my pre-order, i hope all the album sounds really epic like this.
Hansi should take part in every power metal band. Now that would be great for the genre. -To be fair though, the oversaturation of Hansi's voice would cause it to devalue, which would be very bad for the power metal economy. So perhaps it's best it stays this way.-
Apaixonada por esta música e ansiosa pelo novo álbum! O Tobias tem muita sensibilidade em criar melodias que combinam com o estilo de cada artista convidado e ao mesmo tempo, elas se encaixam perfeitamente no estilo do Avantasia.
i said this somewhere else before , but i would buy a double LP/3 CD including behind the scenes videos of Hansi reading the back of cereal packages. Him in Avantasia is a dream come true
The bridge from 6:48 reminds me of Carry on my wayward son... :D But the whole sends chill down my spine! I can hardly wait to see you guys live again in Budapest, Hungary awaits you!!
és még magyar is vagyok 😂 ( pont ez fogalmazódott meg bennem miközben hallgattam ezért elkezdtem böngészni a kommenteket , hogy talán más is így van ezzel)
Thrilled from the show in Ludwigsburg. Whoaw. I've been waiting so long to see such an energetic show. My special salut goes to the drummer! The sound was crisp and clear...and everyone on stage felt really happy
One suggestion guys at Nuclear Blast Records. You list out all the vocalists but you should also say starring Sascha Paeth, while at it, Michael Rodenberg and Felix Bohnke.
Hansi Kürsch on Avantasia. I waited for this day for so long.
Já esperando o cover aqui.. kkkkk
Mas ele já participou do Avantasia
@@peixefelipe16 não foi no Edguy?
Holy shit, is Dan vasc here , cover needed
It is REALLY amazing
So everyone can agree that Hansi's voice makes any song 10 times better
Certainly
To be honest Jorn and Hansi on the same track is something beyond wonderful.
} 909o u jkohñc87
Couldnt agree more. Because of this song I finally started listening to blind guardian
my vote goes to jorn...
The 10-ish min Avantasia songs are always such an adventure to listen to.
Most songs in this genre are like this, which is great.

Exactly the same happened to me, heh..
Time sure flies...
Yup... Same.
On to "Best metal ballad of all time" to me.
❤
When Hansi started singing that first verse, I started crying. This man's voice....
His voice gives me chills. He's like the best singer in the world
I agree. He has some magic in it.
This!!!!!
I love his soft vocalizing. It makes you feel like you're in some fantasy world like LoTR or The Witcher.
@@warriorsorb1111 which is amazing considering how much they love LoTR and even sing about it in blind guardian
Jesus. I am crying. It’s just perfect.

"NYYAAHHHH!!" *me* oh there's Jorn! ;p
fuck you man i didn't want to laugh out loud at close to 12 midnight
LMFAO YOU'RE RIGHT
HuuAaaAAAaaAh
Impossible for Tobias Sammet, Hansi Kürsch & Jørn Lande to not make something awesome together, but this is stunningly good.
HANSI's vocals are so emotional... The guy is from another world... Great track!!!
agreed!
Agreed. I was like... why do I feel so
Bittersweet sad?
I am so happy... This music was released on my birthday, 12/14. Blind Guardian is my favorite band and the next in line is Avantasia. To listen to three of my favorite singers in the same song made me cry.
Thank you Tobi. I am waiting for you guys here in Brazil!
I spent my highschool days listening mostly to Blind Guardian and I can't express how glad I am that Hansi is still being recognised as an amazing vocalist that he is.
@@Aretemi he has a very good voice but couldn't listen a track with his voice only, maybe im in love with Tobías voice
I've never heard more beautiful than when Hansi starts singing "Cold is the wind..."
I can think of one thing more beautiful, and that's when he sings "Blue and serene once a sky swanned on magic..."
For me, the "there's no glory on the last journey home" part is unbeatable
same. I got chills on that part. Hansi's voice is just unbelievable
The Scarecrow meets the Piper never dies. Just another Sammet masterpiece, simple as that.
Ok... if your description comes anywhere close to reality, I'm in for a ride... gonna find out by myself in 11 minutes or so ! :)
With some of The Tower, I'd say. I got quite a strong Metal Opera vibe with this song.
Agreed. Although I don't think Tobi can ever top "The Piper Never Dies" -Such a fantastic song!
@@MichaelHolmgaard The Piper Never Dies is epic but personally, I find The Seven Angels to be his pinnacle of songwriting with The Eternal Wayfarer following as a very close second. But hey, that's just my opinion. :)
@@jakobfel2 Seven Angels is definitely up there as well. My favorite Avantasia track with The Looking Glass & The Tower 😊
This might just be my favourite song of all time. Nothing can lift my spirits like it. Still want to hear it live someday.
Same... I'd give anything to see it live. But very slim chance....
I'm having a hard time picking a favorite of all time concerning Avantasia but this would definitely be among my top 3.
@@warriorsorb1111Same, Dying for an Angel, Raven child and Scarecrow.. But I can't say the order, although Raven Child is my go-to song if I want to relax.
That part where he sings "A fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way". I lost my shit. So fucking powerful.
As long as there is Avantasia, there is hope...
Tobias never ceases to amaze me. He has this natural skill to tell a whole story with music and choose the best interpreters to it. Great song! I can't wait for the whole album
Yea, his voice is unreal! I remember when I heard him in The Scarecrow and the feeling of awe was so strong. To be fair, it still is :P
@necroplastful You can also never go wrong with Hansi either. Dude is a legit legend.
When you think the song can't get better...
4:25 - A wild Jorn appear
Avantasia: It's time to rock.
Jorn: Here, hold my beer.
You are soooo right and honest like Jorn but I like the last pretty heavy part
Remembers to Maiden
This is my first time hearing Avantasia and I gotta say, the video and the lyrics are beautiful. I need to check this band out
you definitly should! This project is and was amazing !
YES, you NEED to :D
You will not regret it. Your heart will buuuurst. It’s just so MUCH.
Yes you absolutely need to! Avantasia is amazing, although it can take a while to absorb fully. Just have fun exploring. :)
Avantasia is great and first two "The Metal Opera" albums are timeless masterpieces. Last album Ghostlights from 2016 is also fantastic.
Did I hear my man Hansi!!??!!? LONG LOVE THE BARDS
I can see now why Tobi is so hyped about Moonglow. This is awesome!
The production is finally much better, makes a huge difference. Paeth has made some awfully dull sounding albums. Tobias sounds so much better too.
Power-metal & Symphonic-metal are a musical marvel. Bloody love this!
I sure do, lol!
@@bloody4558
🤣
But I love it too & I'm a bloody duck!!! 😉

Glad you like this song :)
This song is a masterpiece! I can't wait for the album release! You guys did a fantastic job, again! :)

They don’t come any better than this, totally mesmerising masterpiece
Like always, f***in good work mate!

This is more than music, this is magic! Tobias is truly one of a kind...
I honestly think this has surpassed Scarecrow, Let the Storm Descend upon you AND The Seven Angels as my favorite long Avantasia song
It surely is among top 5 of all their sogns.
Oh damn I love T. Sammet's singing style, the vibrato, how he finishes phrases, such a delight!
also Kursch sings like a medieval fairy tale character, always imagined him like some sort of a prophet in the dark ages
Each of these three men have suuuuuch distinct voices yet they each pull their weight and add so so so much to the song
I see everyone talking about Hansi, and while I agree he was great, I think Jorn really stands out in this
This song is a masterpiece! Jorn's voice is always incredible!😍
Words will never be able to describe how much i love this song. This has quickly became my favorite song
The Hansi dude sounds like he was meant to sing music like this. He legit sounded like a bard singing a story.
He's fantastic. His performance on this track is one of the best I've ever heard from him too.
Not for nothing are Blind Guardian called "the Bards".
He is the bard
Literally, he sings The Bard's Song
He's good in everything. But I honestly liked him on avantasia. He stole the song completely

Anyway yeah he's the bard of metal

Hansibabe 🤟
The "whoah" part got stuck inside my head and i thought it was some lotr song until I remembered it was this. XD
This song is absolutely incredible! Can't wait to hear the whole album in February
Yes we're so looking forward to listen to the whole masterpiece! 😍
Cant wait :D
9:05 First Time I listened to this song, I went "YEAH" Right after this part because of how much It blew me away, And It was at the exact some time they sang it in the song, And that made me happy
This is INSANE 3 of my favorite singers in the same song. There is no words in the dictionary on how amazing this is
So I went to the Waken page this afternoon and more than a few people were disappointed this band wasn't on the bill so I came here to check them out. I'm going to do that more often. This band is awesome.
Costa Rica 🇨🇷 is waiting for you again!
Hansi´s voice give me life! thank you Avantasia!! Hansi , Tobi and Jorn
such a masterpiece
JORN LANDE
His voice is touching my every neuron
Those who compared the genius of Tobi with the likes of Mozart and Shakespeare weren't really stretching anything. He's indeed a truly distinct mastermind of composing from our time.
It's a breathtaking effusiveness and poetic awe, which are converged so distinctly (hence the "Avant-Garde" style) which still, it yet happens for me to get a bit lost haha. I would be very thanked if someone could share their personal mindblows and interpretations towards this magnificent piece.
Truer words were never spoken \m/
I want to see Tobias work with Steve vai I can’t even imagine the melodies that would come from it
every song just takes this band on to another level,cannot wait for the album
I feel like I'm about to embark on a quest.
Got me on that one😂
I haven't been blown away like this since I discovered The Scarecrow by this band!
Hansi makes this song absolutely amazing -steals the show completely. Never new he would fit so well into Avantasia! And amazing songwriting form Tobi of course. This album sounds like it could be their best since Metal Opera II
Well, as a guest in Edguy he was fitting like it's his band, so no wonder
He is fitting everywhere he sings.
@@cvetageorgieva4312 Ah yes I completely forgot about that! That was on "Out Of Controle." Great performance 😊
Has to be the best song Tobias has put together. What a performance.
Literally freaking crying!!!! I love this song so much! Heard it for the first time yesterday and it made me tear up... my dog died yesterday and this song made me remember him. Thanks for this release, Tobi. Your music always knows how to move my soul! I can't wait to see you next year!
I'm sorry for your doggy, i know how bad it feels... 😢 luckly for us we have Avantasia to warm our hearts in these moments... and all the others. Everything is going to be okay, ALWAYS. 😊
@@BootlessMan thank you for the kind words. :(. My dog actually loved watching avantasia videos with me when I was home and cooking. We had good times together. I am just looking so forward to this album! This song alone is so well written and the celtic and gregorian elements made it even better!!!
Simply another great song that will never be forgotten. Thanks to you all for making this possible Avantasia
One word: Breathtaking! This song is so beautiful and it's way more than I expexted the first single to be. Moonglow is gonna be awesome😍
Nice profile picture ;)
Aurelia,you are a relative of Tobias Sammet?
@@user-22DmitryNZaguljaev78 I wish haha
:)
And his german, but perfect english? I just love this guy.
God, I love listening to Avantasia. They just have that magic you can't help but want more of. It's beautiful.
La canción es genial, el aporte de Hansi al comienzo es muy mágico y acabando con Jorn y su fuerza...
¡¡¡Maestro Sammet se ha salido con esta canción!!!
Los primeros minutos de hansi (wizard) que magia. Y después del minuto 6 con el coro gregoriano y jorn (beast) toma un color impresionate el pico del tema hasta me parece que canta bien tobi, el coro principal se pone más pomposo. Por dios ya lo escuche unas 30 veces y con el sólo de Sasha piel de gallina.
De poca Mother !!!! Pieza Maestra
Das beste was ich in den letzten Jahren gehört habe.Hoffentlich kann er noch mehr so epische Songs kreieren. Hansi in einem unglaublich stimmungsvollen Intro. Ich habe sie in Bamberg und in München gesehen. Avantasia hat immer hervorragend geliefert. Bitte Tobi, wenn du das lesen solltest, mach bitte weiter so.
Hansi und Jorn machen klar das Rennen!! Ich freu mich auf Berlin. Und eins muss man Herrn Sammet lassen: Er kann große epische Werke erschaffen, egal ob Savage Poetry, der Piper oder eben Avantasia. Es ist zwar absouter "Plüschmetal", aber ich finds einfach nur geil. Kompositorisch/Texlich absolut spitze. Glückwunsch Herr Sammet! Ein Meisterwerk
Of course the whole song is masterpiece but I dont know why, the part "A fire in the dark for the fool ........ " has some rare melody that I have to repeat it for cca 5 times until I let the song continue. Tobi is genius.
Gets me everytime at 4:24 when the Raven comes up and there is a "Waaah" sound made by Jorn(?).
What a masterpiece........unbelievable.....you guys rule .....killing me 11 minutes long\m/ ......Hansi´s voice is killing my heart into thousand pieces .....Awesome
I am truly floored!!! Came here for ft. Hansi, I don't follow Avantasia closely but I'm definitely hooked into this album now! What a fucking masterpiece. You guys are GODS. Hansi's voice is legendary.
I'd take the opportunity to check out more Avantasia. In my opinion, everything they do is a masterpiece. :)
Nádhera.Tobias nej nej,nej.Moravský Krumlov 19.8.2022 nezapomenutelný zážitek.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I came for Hansi Kürsch I stayed for Jørn’s vocals. He went off on the back half of the song 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love these mysterious melodic songs that tell a story.
I love Blind Guardian, but especially the Hansi Kürsch's voice, he should take part in more Avantasia's albums. Great work Tobias!!! I've just done my pre-order, i hope all the album sounds really epic like this.
Hansi should take part in every power metal band. Now that would be great for the genre.
-To be fair though, the oversaturation of Hansi's voice would cause it to devalue, which would be very bad for the power metal economy. So perhaps it's best it stays this way.-
I'm not ashamed to say this brought tears to my eyes.
Apaixonada por esta música e ansiosa pelo novo álbum! O Tobias tem muita sensibilidade em criar melodias que combinam com o estilo de cada artista convidado e ao mesmo tempo, elas se encaixam perfeitamente no estilo do Avantasia.
Eu tbm ficou muito bom
a voz do Jorn lembrou muito o AndréMatos, ou foi só eu que achei Aline?
@@marcosprince Ainda não tinha feito esta comparação, kkk
Nao foi comparação, mas lembrou o Andre Matos do Ritual 🤘🏾
Mal posso esperar por essa magnum opus 🤘🏾
What a wonderful song... Hansi voice is always good to listen.
i said this somewhere else before , but i would buy a double LP/3 CD including behind the scenes videos of Hansi reading the back of cereal packages. Him in Avantasia is a dream come true
This intro with Hansi gave me the chills!!! Way to go, Tobi! Can't wait for Moonglow...
The bridge from 6:48 reminds me of Carry on my wayward son... :D But the whole sends chill down my spine! I can hardly wait to see you guys live again in Budapest, Hungary awaits you!!
Alwynka Xi HOLY SHT , SAME I was like , Am i The only supernatural fan here? Xd
és még magyar is vagyok 😂 ( pont ez fogalmazódott meg bennem miközben hallgattam ezért elkezdtem böngészni a kommenteket , hogy talán más is így van ezzel)
The road so far - all the previous albums -
Now - raven child -
igen, valóban
I literally got to this part and thought this AS I noticed this comment!
Thrilled from the show in Ludwigsburg. Whoaw. I've been waiting so long to see such an energetic show. My special salut goes to the drummer! The sound was crisp and clear...and everyone on stage felt really happy
My first Avantasia. Was just listening to a nice theme in the background. I didn't expect the explosion. Wow!
7:49 ao 8:25 OMG!!!!! Sem palavras.. 😲😢😭❤💗💓💓
Anything Hansi touches turns to gold!
One suggestion guys at Nuclear Blast Records. You list out all the vocalists but you should also say starring Sascha Paeth, while at it, Michael Rodenberg and Felix Bohnke.
Absolutely right!
They also do not mention Oliver Hartmann and Herbie Langhans. I will give them credit.
