Napalm Records and Avantasia have signed a record deal. Founded at the turn of the millennium, the German band led by Tobias Sammet has long been at the top of metal. Proof of this is their numerous awards, chart positions and sold-out stadium tours.

“Avantasia is here again! This year we presented the biggest show in our history, and it serves as a taster of what’s to come. Fueled by the incredible togetherness and great energy that prevailed on our tour, we returned to the studio and channeled everything into creative work. The end result is our strongest and most impressive album yet: Here Be Dragons”, enthuses Avantasia mastermind Tobias Sammet, and continues:

“We are also happy about our new partnership with Napalm Records. Their commitment and deep passion for the world of Avantasia have given us new strength. We are in this together, side by side, bringing this new chapter to life. Avantasia is back, bigger and stronger than ever!”

Napalm Records CEO Thomas Caser is also excited about the upcoming collaboration:

“Tobias is one of the most impressive and prolific artists to ever emerge from this genre. His boundless creative power and unwavering dedication to his craft have given birth to one of the greatest bands in the world. It’s great to help set a new milestone in the career of this band and start the process of releasing their next album together.”
