EDGUY frontman Tobias Sammet's AVANTASIA project will release its ninth
album, "A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society", on October 21 via
Nuclear Blast. The disc will be the follow-up to "Moonglow", which came out
in 2019.
The official video for the LP's latest single, "The Inmost Light", can be
seen below. The song features a guest appearance by HELLOWEEN singer Michael
Kiske. The song sees both vocalists trading off their signature styles over a
short, sharp attack of classic heavy metal that's destined to be a hit live.
Sammet comments: "Michi Kiske is not only a good friend of more than 20
years, he has been with AVANTASIA right from the beginning. His singing
inspires me when I compose songs, and while finalizing the writing for a duet
with him, it always ends up in a very powerful missile like 'The Inmost
Light'. The sound is in my DNA. It always was an important component of my
songwriting, and maybe that is the reason our voices form a strong unit
together.
"It is always a challenge to work and sing with this kind of expert. You have
to put a lot of effort into it in order to not secede.
"Michi's singing and the sound of early HELLOWEEN influenced my career.
"I wrote 'The Inmost Light' in the wake of just throwing everything overboard
which would not be essential. I wanted to deliver a short and tight rocket."
The "The Inmost Light" video is a recap of AVANTASIA's career so far. It's an
emotional ride that takes us all the way back to the roots of the project.
"A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society" was produced by Sammet
with AVANTASIA guitar player Sascha Paeth. The cover artwork was created by
Swedish illustrator Alexander Jansson.
Sammet previously stated about the new album: "From the first song ideas back
in 2018 / 2019 to the production, orchestration, keyboards, arrangements,
details, I have been personally involved so deeply in every little aspect and
detail of this album that you can't get an album any more personal or closer
to my vision than this one. I had the time. Nothing else to do in the past
two and a half years. It was a slow movement life with music and my
Mysteryhausen studio serving as a portal to another world, full of music and
quirky encounters with my muses keeping me sane and hopeful.
"I am super proud of the album — some of my best songs, some of my most
emotional and extreme vocal performances, some of the strongest guest
performances ever. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and when you'll
hear it, you will know why."

Regarding the "A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society" title,
Tobias said: "At first our label was wondering if we couldn't come up with a
longer album title maybe. [Laughs] Given the attention span of the brave new
world, it's not very memorable perhaps, but it's the concept and the title
was on my mind for quite a while. Most fans know that I have never taken the
easy way just to deliver things bite-sized for what the market can handle.
Our fans are smart enough to memorize the title. As an artist you need to
follow your vision, otherwise you get an ulcer and ulcers kill creativity."
"Moonglow" hit number one on the album charts in Germany and charted in 17
countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas before AVANTASIA embarked on a
ten-month tour of Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America.
Since its beginnings in 1999, AVANTASIA's past releases have featured
international stars such as Alice Cooper, Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker
(SCORPIONS), Sharon Den Adel (WITHIN TEMPTATION), Bruce Kulick and Eric
Singer (KISS), Eric Martin (MR. BIG), SAXON's Biff Byford, TWISTED SISTER
frontman Dee Snider and many more.
