Avantasia - Premiere 'Creepshow'
In wake of the new full length release Here Be Dragons, due on February 28, Avantasia present a music video for the first advance single titled "Creepshow".
Tobias Sammet on the single and video: "Creepshow" is a perfect single. It’s short and catchy, and it emphasizes a facet of my work that has taken in my music in recent years. It’s light-hearted and the opposite of melancholic. And it's fresh, boisterous and unabashed - a straightforward kick-ass anthem. Also, even though it may seem like a reminiscence of my earlier writing, I think we managed to turn the whole thing into a trademark AVANTASIA tune, as we accentuated with the music video. We rented a haunted castle in North England and celebrated a night in the world of spectres and undead creatures. This is the most vibrant and eccentric music video I’ve ever shot in my entire career, not dead-serious, but certainly of serious quality! I can’t wait to play !"Creepshow" live on our tour next year, I can already see the whole venue jumping up and down and screaming along!”

Written by Luneth on 06.12.2024 at 17:45 The dude has written like 20 albums, most of which rated 7.5+ or higher on this very website. I think the dude has a right to feel like he's talented, lol. The general reactions I see from the "old guard" is basically verbatim what happened when Lost in Space came out way back when. At this point, Avantasia has been closer to this sound for longer than the sound on The Metal Opera. Don't get me wrong, I miss that old sound -- Metal Opera pt 1 is one of my all time favourite albums and one of the few I've rated a 10 on this site. With this song -- it's enjoyable, not groundbreaking, but I'm looking forward to how it will perform live. Sometimes a feel good song is fine. I'm sure there will be power metal bangers on the album as usual.

Its terrible. Not even Tobi is enjoying his own song and it is utterly clear in the video. The expressions seem so fake and as if he is suffering. If we had any expectation about this album, this song and video just took it away

Recent Avantasia isn't that bad - "The Inmost Light" from the last album is awesome. But this song is not
