Metal Opera Part I & Ii (gold Edition)

AVANTASIA is the brainchild of EDGUY mastermind Tobias Sammet, who fulfilled his dream of creating a "Metal Opera" with these two highly acclaimed, All-Star releases (from 2001 and 2002). But who would have thought that AVANTASIA should even surpass EDGUY in terms of success? With guest musicians like Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween), Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation), Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray), Bob Catley (Magnum), Timo Tolkki (ex-Stratovarius) and many more, AVANTASIA showcases the who is who of the Melodic Metal scene. Add to this the amazing songwriting of the young and very talented Sammet and a captivating concept story, and you have a tried and tested classic. Features lush DVD format hard cover digibook packaging with 44 page booklet, 2 gold CDs with bonus tracks and bonus videoclip and extensive liner notes (penned by Tobias Sammet), featuring many rare photos and an interview. The "Gold Edition" is the ultimate version of this classic!
