Alright, I'm not sure how many of you have actually heard of this band... but I think they are absolutely terrific! For those of you who read my last post about Kamelot, Kamelot is my favorite band. Avantasia is like my third favorite band, although they do currently hold my win for best album I've ever heard - that being their latest album, The Scarecrow.
Tobias Sammet is the mastermind behind this band, which has had three successful CDs out, and each one is debatable on which one is the best. A lot of my friends, including myself heard The Scarecrow and we had tears of joy... as this was the best thing we've heard in a long time! Honestly, the CD was so good to our ears that we believed it to be a gift from the higher being, should you choose to believe in him. We don't really believe in him, but we know what he represents so it will be common for something so good to be used as a description of a "gift from god".
I shall give you a link to a youtube page that plays one of my favorite songs off the album, featuring Alice Cooper. You do not have to watch the video, as it is simply a picture of Tobias Sammet. One genius of a man.
