Tobias Samet’s Avantasia is once again on the verge of releasing a new single. The album ‘Here Be Dragons’, which will be released on February 28th, from which so far have been released two singles – Creepshow and Against The Wind, which features H.E.A.T. singer Kenne Leckremo. ‘Here Be Dragons’ will be released by Napalm Records.
The third single from the upcoming album, The Witch, was released on February 13th. The song features Kamelot singer Tommy Karevik.
“The Witch has a mesmerizingly dark and magical feel, which is new to the world of Avantasia. However, the song also has many of our trademark elements and fits the album perfectly. Tommy Karevik from Kamelot did a fantastic job and I can’t wait to sing this song with Tommy on the upcoming tour!”, says Tobias Sammet, continuing:
“During the shows, we transform the stage into a haunted old castle, reminiscent of the ancient building where we filmed the music video for this song. The Witch is a beautifully melodic, powerful anthem filled with scary little details.
