| Tuesday, December 14, 2010 - Avantasia To Release Live DVD | Avantasia, the project led by Edguy frontman Tobias Sammet - has issued the following update:
"Rumours keep circulating about a forthcoming Avantasia live DVD and now we can confirm they are true! [In February 2011] a double DVD and two-CD set (along with a box set featuring both the double DVD and two-CD set) will be out on Nuclear Blast Records (in Japan and East Asia on Avalon Marquee). The DVD is a documentary of the legendary 2008 world tour of Avantasia, when the band hit the road for the first time to write a new chapter in metal history; travelling around the world with a giant all-star ensemble to bring the metal opera on stage and play on three continents within a few days, crossing the dateline and eventually playing to a total of 400,000 people within only a few weeks. The first DVD contains a live concert with a running time of almost two hours featuring footage filmed at the headlining shows of Wacken Open Air (Germany) and Masters Of Rock (Czech Republic). On the second DVD there will be a movie, 'Around The World In 20 Days', that gives fans the opportunity to join Avantasia backstage and take a look at the surroundings and the thrill behind the scenes that go along with an extensive undertaking such as this. The DVD set will portray Avantasia 2008 when it all started."
Commented Tobias: "I am so proud of this DVD package and the featured footage, even though it took a little longer to finally complete it. It gives people an idea of what an impact the first appearance of Avantasia on stage had, and you will get an idea of how everything went beyond our expectations and what the roots and the seeds for the current Avantasia tour are. It portrays one year in Avantasia history, maybe the most important year in the project's history because that is when a studio project became a travelling institution.
"There are many metal operas, but we made it something real, something to take hold of. Something alive..." |
