Tobias Sammet's Avantasia is internationally one of the most successful German music acts. With his new Album "Ghostlights", Tobias Sammet enters the German charts directly at number #2. But this is not enough, in the UK the album reached the top #3 of the national rockcharts. This is the best starting position, when Avantasia compete for the German preliminary decision of the Eurovision Songcontest in Stockholm, taking place on February 25 in Cologne. The giant rock concept doesn't fit in a certain category, mystic, magic, metal and bombast unite with epic melodies and create a spectacular firework. No surprise that many medias consider Avantasia as the most promising candidate for the contest.
"I am more than happy about this huge success of »Ghostlights« and the acceptance from our fans", Tobias comments.

If Tobias Sammet requests, they all come. After prestigious musicians such as Alice Cooper,Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker (Scorpions) and some members of legendary US bands such as KISS or MR. BIG, who attended in the most recent past, there's again a load of guest musicians this time.

Besides the legendary Twisted Sister vocalist Dee Snider, Nightwish icon Marco Hietala and Within Temptation power woman Sharon Den Adel - who sang already on the Avantasia debut, "The Metal Opera" (2001) - there's also Michael Kiske (Unisonic, ex-Helloween), Ronnie Atkins (Pretty Maids), Bob Catley (Magnum), Jorn Lande (Jorn, ex-Masterplan), Bruce Kulick (ex-Kiss, ex-Meat Loaf), Robert Mason (Warrent, ex-Lynch Mob), Herbie Langhans (Sinbreed), Felix Bohnke (Edguy), Oliver Hartmann, Michael Rodenberg and Sascha Paeth.
