On April 6th the two brand new AVANTASIA albums "The Wicked Symphony" and "Angel Of Babylon" will be released via Nuclear Blast records. With previous efforts immediately hitting the charts in over 15 countries, expectations are high for this latest work. Like the former masterpieces, there will be breathtaking performances of numerous guest stars for the fans. This time around, names include like Klaus Meine (Scorpions), Eric Singer (KISS), Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween), Ripper Owens (ex-Judas Priest), Jon Oliva (Savatage), Bob Catley (Magnum), Jorn Lande (Masterplan), Russell Allen (Symphony X), Jens Johansson (ex-DIO, Stratovarius), Andre Matos (ex-Angra), Bruce Kulick (ex-KISS, ex-Meat Loaf) and many more.  Produced by Sascha Paeth, the result is a stunning collection of epic rock, spread over two albums - ”The Wicked Symphony” and ”Angel Of Babylon”. The two albums be released separately, but also in a deluxe edition featuring both albums in two digibooks with two beautiful booklets plus an additional book with interview, history, biography, linernotes and the download code for exclusive bonus material. Now is your chance to listen to the first track off the album, a short edit-version of the track "Dying For An Angel" featuring Klaus Meine of the Scorpions as guest vocalist, Tobias on vocals and bass, Sascha Paeth on guitars and Eric Singer (KISS) on drums.
