Rock and Metal Opera flagship AVANTASIA has just signed a record deal with Napalm Records to support the release of their new album “Here Be Dragons” and new songs will be released soon and a massive tour will also be held in the spring of 2025.
AVANTASIA are going to ring in a new age in the spooky and enchanting lands of Avantasia, embarking on an arena world tour in support of their 10th studio album “Here Be Dragons”, which is currently in the works and will be released early next year.
Tobias Sammet comments:
“AVANTASIA is back, and with the biggest show we’ve ever put on during this year’s festival season, we’ve already given you a taste of what’s to come. Fueled by the incredible spirit and energy of our tour, we headed back to the studio to channel that momentum into creating our most powerful album yet: Here Be Dragons.
We’re also thrilled to announce our new partnership with Napalm Records. Their passion, commitment, and deep love for the world of AVANTASIA have been truly inspiring and they’re just as enthusiastic as we are to bring this new chapter to life.
I couldn’t be more excited about the future. AVANTASIA is back, bigger and stronger than ever!”
Thomas Caser, Napalm Records Managing Director adds:
“Tobias Sammet is one of the most influential and prolific artists this genre has ever produced. With his boundless creativity and unwavering dedication, he has created one of the most spectacular bands in the world with AVANTASIA. We are thrilled to set another milestone in the band’s history together and are ready to push the upcoming AVANTASIA album worldwide at full throttle! Welcome, Tobi!”
The new album “Here Be Dragons” contains a lot of very traditional and typical AVANTASIA stuff, fans of “Metal Opera”, “Scarecrow”, “Ghostlights” and “Mystery of Time” will love it. Tobias Sammet is also very proud of some piano elements there, especially the limited edition buyers will get some very exclusive top class bonus materials with piano and keys and lots of background stories in a very limited mega size book. Tobi will tell more later, and the burning piano will be a key moment in the next tour.
