| EDGUY WORKING ON NEW ALBUM |
Topic: Band News 02 May 2008 17:54:18 |
Edguy are currently preparing to hit the studio to work on the successor of their recent album "Rocket Ride".
Tobias: "People think that we are quite fast but that's not the truth. I completed the Avantasia album last autumn, the Avantasia songwriting itself was completed even way back in 2006. All the new ideas I've had since then could be taken for Edguy. In fact, this is a long time to refresh your creativity and gather new stuff. The material sounds very fresh, it embraces all the different trademarks of Edguy, I think it is a logical continuation of Rocket Ride and Hellfire Club. Maybe it doesn't come across as goofy as Rocket Ride, but I am sure if we have fun in the studi... |

| AVANTASIA TOURING LINEUP REVEALED |
Topic: Band News 27 Apr 2008 16:36:37 |
EDGUY singer Tobias Sammet has issued the following update on his AVANTASIA solo project:
"I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for your great support. 'The Scarecrow' is an album that means a lot to me and it was quite a commercial risk to just follow my heart instead of doing exactly what people expected. But if I take a look at the chart positions and sales — it went into the album charts in 16 countries, hitting the Top10 in four countries — it seems like you appreciate my honesty! Thank you!
Now preparing for the festival summer with AVANTASIA seems so surreal. AVANTASIA has never been on stage before and all of the sudde... |
