I don't think at this point this is newsworthy enough to put on the main site, but I know a lot of us like metal operas, so here's some info on a new one:

RANDY COVEN, JOHN MACALUSO To Record 'Metal Opera' With 27-Piece Orchestra - Feb. 13, 2006

Bassist Randy Coven (ARK, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) will be teaming up with drummer John Macaluso (TNT, ARK, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, JAMES LABRIE, STARBREAKER) and guitarist Marco Sfogli (JAMES LABRIE) to record a new metal opera project entitled "Heroes Temporis". The recordings will take place in Naples, Italy between February 14 and February 23 and will see the musicians accompanied by a 27-piece orchestra. More details will be revealed soon.

Sounds interesting. What are some others that are expected soon? I know Genius III is scheduled to come out, but I can't think of any more right now...

I don't know but I wish Tobias would do another Avantasia Metal Opera album.

Yeah, its a scary thought. I was to young for this, but have you ever heard of a tribute song for some kind of benifit program sung by all the rock/metal stars of the 80's? I saw it on that show "I love the 80's" a while back. That's what it would sound like.

not scary for me... based on Trinidad it could sound like a metal version of Queen's cheesiest pieces... and that could be some great fun to listen to !

Was it called "Stars?" Because that song is awesome!

How could that project possibly be all bad? So so so many big names were involved.

PS Check your PMs.

I doubt even half of them wrote anything on it. At least I hope not, that thing was a fucking travesty. I only paid 50 cents for it at a Goodwill Store, and still felt ripped off.

That song is a great tune. Come on. Aren't you like 17? What possessed you buy it? I don't think I've ever even seen that thing anywhere to buy it. I'll give you $0.75 for it.

Hmmm... I think he is much older than 17 and for $0.75, I'd buy it blindly just for the names.

hmm I didn't like avantasia that much... the metal opera's I love are AINA and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra "Beethoven's Last Night"
