Tobias Sammet is back, with passion, magnificient energy and a musical monument with epical deepness.A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society is Avantasia’s ninth album and its pure magic with its combination of metal, classic rock and grandiose orchestration. Tobias Sammet about the album: From the first song ideas back in 2018 / 2019 to the production, orchestration, keyboards, arrangements, details, I have been personally involved so deeply in every little aspect and detail of this album, that you can’t get an album any more personal or closer to my vision than this one. I had the time, nothing else to do in the past two and a half years, it was a slow movement life with music and my Mysteryhausen studio serving as a portal to another world, full of music and quirky encounters with my muses keeping me sane and hopeful. I am super proud of the album, some of my best songs, some of my most emotional and extreme vocal performances, some of the strongest guest performances ever. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and when you’ll hear it, you will know why!
