Do you like the concept of the opera, but wish it were a bit more modern? Do you enjoy the power of a full symphony orchestra? Do you love fantasy stories? You should listen to Avantasia.

You may have a teaser.

As a treat.

[Album of the day] Parius - The Signal Heard Throughout Space

Philadelphia, PA // 2022

[Genres] death metal, prog metal, metal opera, rock opera

[Themes] cosmic metal, being stranded on a spaceflight voyage questing after a mysterious signal

[FFO] concept albums, Ayreon, clean singing, approachable death metal, space operas

[Thoughts] Parius has a number of awesome death metal albums, but this 2022 release is something new: a cinematic story, a space opera told through death metal instrumentation. The clean singing on the album deviates from conventional death metal stylings to greater focus on the content of the lyrics. This is also their first album with a keyboard, and I really dig how it changes the focus of the music.

I often use this album to introduce death metal to friends. People's brains seem to turn off the moment they hear harsh vocals, and this album waits to introduce them long enough to hook you into the plot. Perfect for evangelizing metal to your local Trekkie (or Star Whores fanatic I guess).

I also love Stephen Adrade's album artwork, very happy to snag one of their long-sleeve shirts with it.

Τέσσερα χρόνια μετά την κυκλοφορία της συνεργασίας τους “Goditha-The Rock Opera”, το δίδυμο από την Αθήνα επιστρέφει με το “Captain Hawk: Ghosts of the Sea” μια καινούρια Metal όπερα που έγραψε η Ελίνα Εγγλέζου όπου έπαιξε, ενορχήστρωσε, έκανε μίξη και παραγωγή ο Μπομπ Κατσιώνης   (Firewind, Warrior Path, Stray Gods, Serious Black).

When your sister got arrested for mixing herbs in cauldron and now you must go to a magical world because apparently it's the only way to help her and you got involved in a mystical battle:

Just got three epic albums for Christmas:

Avantasia’s “Metal Opera pt. 1”, “Wicked Symphony”, and “A Paranormal Evening with the Moonflower Society”

Here are a few highlights from each album, although every Avantasia album is an absolute banger and deserves to be listened to in it’s entirety:
