Do you ever stumble upon a new band, and realize it's not new at all?

I've just discovered Avantasia, which Ii didn't know about before last week.





It happened because I used Jango.com and listened to some Dragonforce, and suddenly the site started playing a lot of Avantasia.

LOL, I listened'em yesterday, through GroovesShark ! Great music !!

Avantasia is like an all star power metal project. There's another one called Ayreon, I recommend one album called
Universal Migrator Part 2: Flight of the Migrator




here's the guest list on the album!:

Lana Lane - voice on track 1; backing vocals on tracks 4, 5, 6, and 9
Russell Allen (Symphony X) - track 2
Damian Wilson (Threshold) - backing vocals on track 2
Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear) - track 3
Andi Deris (Helloween) - track 4
Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) - track 5
Fabio Lione (Rhapsody of Fire) - track 6
Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius) - track 7
Robert Soeterboek - track 8
Ian Parry (Elegy) - track 9

yeah, Avantasia is a great band! I assume that you already know "Edguy", which is the main band of Tobias (Avantasia's creator).

Yes I've started to listen to that as well

All-star bands usually rock, and this one is the same. Sounds great Thanks for sharing
