Tobias Sammet: »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, that kept 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!«

The album was produced by Tobias with Avantasia guitarist Sascha Paeth, who’s also responsible for the powerful and timeless mix of the album.

Pre-Order is going to start soon, limited editions with goodies and autographs will be available at the official band merchandise store. We’ll keep you posted!

Contrairement à ses prédécesseurs, je n'ai toujours pas digéré cet album après plusieurs écoutes. Pas mauvais hein, mais je le trouve essoufflé et boursoufflé dans ses compos, le père Sammet...

Bah il est à bout de souffle, c'est le cas de le dire.

C'est aussi l'impression que m'a donné son chant!
