First of all, listen to that bass! It seems that people always talk about singing and songwriting when they talk about Tobias, but he's a great bass player as well.
Joe Lynn Turner is brilliant here and it's one of my favorites from Mystery Of Time.
Pain Of Salvation is always brilliant. In this song the vocals in the verses are rap-like, which I think is brilliant. Daniel is definitely showing his versatility in this song.
Okay, I seem to have a tendency for taking really long breaks.
I'm back for now to share a really nice music video, made by some friends of mine. The band is called Manet and they play indie/folk music.
I like the song and the video is beautiful.
It's going to be released March 30th, but you can pre-order it now. Like, right now... go do it!
I believe it's going to be very awesome.
How can it not be with Tobias Sammet making the music. In addition to several of the old Avantasians, Tobias has enlisted the talents of some great new people:
- Joe Lynn Turner (Vocals)
- Bill Byford (Vocals)
- Ronnie Atkins (Vocals)
- Eric Martin (Vocals)
- Russell Gilbrook (Drums)
- Arjen Anthony Lucassen (Guitar)
"Those dreams that you
Hummed to yourself once
How far will you reach out
To make them come true"
- Avantasia - Invoke The Machine
You can hear for yourself in this "pre-listening" that they have released:
Robben Ford is an amazing guitarist. I really enjoy listening to how he improvises! The melodies and the way he phrases is really interesting. This might not be too interesting for non-guitarists, but it's a really nice song, so I hope you're able to enjoy it anyways!
