简介:
Avantasia"是两个词的组合:"Ava"来自"Avalon"(阿瓦隆,凯尔特族传说中的西方乐土岛,据说亚瑟王及其部下死后尸体被移往该岛),"ntasia"则是自"Fantasia"(幻想曲)。Avantasia是一个灵魂与精神的精灵世界,向往权力的罗马教皇为了控制世人而不惜破坏Avantasia的世界,小修道士却借助精灵和小矮人的力量从教皇手中夺回了开启Avantasia世界的封印。
为德国乐队担当主音吉他手的是来自Gamma Ray的Henjo Richter、担任贝斯手的是来自Helloween的Markus Grosskopf、鼓手是来自Rhapsody的Alex Holzwarth,键盘和管弦乐的编写则是由Tobias Sammet亲自担当,另外,来自Edguy的Jens Ludwig和Tobias Sammet也在这张专辑中分别承担了一部分吉他和键盘的演奏,可以说在这部作品中出现的音乐家全部拥有强大的实力。演唱部分同样是群星璀璨:Tobias Sammet、Gamma Ray的Kai Hansen 、Virgin Steele的David DeFeis 、Andre Matos (前Angra主唱)、Rob Rock (前Warrior主唱)、Stratovarius的Timo Tolkki、At Vance的Oliver Hartmann、Within Temptation的Sharon Del Adel以及Helloween的Michael Kiske。 Avantasia
乐队的《The Metal Opera Pt.I》《The Metal Opera Pt.II》被称为是前无古人后无来者的两张金属歌剧专辑。两张专辑其实是一个整体,分为第一部和第二部。专辑讲述的是一个古老欧洲风格浓郁的神话故事。这两张专辑已经是非一般意义的金属歌剧,专辑集合了所有你知道和不知道的优秀元素。两张专辑26首歌曲,你不会挑剔出任何有瑕疵的地方。每一首都用最完美的形态呈现出来。其中的歌剧元素的创作也已达到了顶峰。金属歌剧的特征,是在神话和传说中寻求题材,积极进入浪漫主义的世界。当然,随着时间的推移,流派和倾向愈加复杂,现在大体上已具有了各自鲜明的特色.专辑比较特殊的地方就是请了多位主唱来担当角色。每个主唱都具有自身的特色。就好像是神话中不同的人物描述自己的故事。专辑速度很具力量,旋律也堪称一流,听过以后就会知道什么叫一尘不染的音乐。对于金属歌剧来说,旋律和唱词就是生命,专辑这两点表现的极为出色。专辑气势磅礴,大气宏伟,犹如身处圣地。用耳朵就可以看到你所有能想象的欧洲神话壮观场面。神话的感觉体现的非常深远,所有美丽的,激烈的,悲哀的,一起呈现。 Avantasia用了所有表现手段来表现所想,表现所思。专辑中所具有的内涵绝非轻易就能全部领略。 Avantasia是一个临时团体。首脑人物是一个比较新的金属乐队Edguy的主唱Tobia Sammet与速度金属的高音教父Ernie。这两张超长篇的金属歌剧绝对是2000年最重要的专辑之一。而在专辑中,由于Ernie这位重量级人物的加入,更体现了这张专辑的含金量。这张专辑怎么看都是结合了前辈和新生代金属歌剧的典范。
He has sold more than 3 million discs worldwide, he has played more than 600 concerts in almost 40 countries in Asia, North America, Central America, South America, Australia and Europe: composer and vocalist Tobias Sammet is one of Germany's biggest internationally acclaimed artists in recent music history.

'Ghostlights' is another elaborate concept piece that melds Sammet's love for symphonic, progressive and heavy Metal. "The album's concept deals with time and how science tries to manipulate and speed up people's perception of time to align society's pace… I'm taking a look at this, presuming that time is the key to being aware of the spiritual side of our existence," explains Tobi." The "story" is set in the 18th century… In England of course… "
