One little "background" thing I always loved about Avantasia was the fact how precisely Tobi manages to write songs fit for particular singers. Out of all - Alice Cooper, Klaus Maine, Hansi Kürsch, Dee Snider, freaking Mille Petrozza - and these are just singers he "employed" for one or two songs only. Jorn Lande or Michael Kiske, shining on almost every record, are even more beautiful examples. And now we get Ralf Scheepers, and he fits right in yet again? Damn, Tobi, you surely know your stuff.
That's what I love the most about Tobi and Avantasia. He doesn't just throw random vocals into his songs. He creates a song for the specific guest to shine the most. I don't usually go and check out bands when their lead singer guest other bands but I've branched out from Avantasia with almost every single guest because he makes them sound as perfect as possible. He's a master of his craft.
I introduced my nephews to Avantasia yesterday and they both love the hell out of this band (this song was among the many they listened to). I have a feeling my sister is gonna kill me when they eventually start bugging her for Avantasia songs but it's worth it 😂
Tobi dit it again. Fabulous ! Always catchy but full of little details, arrangements, sweet key changes that make it worth to put on repeat ! Ralph at the top of his game...like usual! And Mr Sammet didn't lie about his voice. Sound like Rocket Ride/Scarecrow era, effortless, clear and powerfull! Looking forward to receive my letter from the Moonflower society !
Hellfire Club is handsdown my favorite album next to Power Plant by Gamma Ray. Start to finish. This song "came together" but doesn't match the near perfection that is Book of Shallows
I sort of expected this album to be the most defanged and pop-rock in the discography due to the general trend of their work, but was pleasantly surprised. Tobias has still got it!
What a burner, that song is FIRE! In terms of story I am getting a real Frankenstein vibe with the pitchforks and hunting down the protagonist even haunting their dreams. You are always such a compelling storyteller Tobi!
Didn't appreciate the song much last night, but when I woke up today and listened to the song again I loved it. I had this on repeat. And this video is done so well.
I had the same feeling. I think it has to do with the sound quality of the ones that were leaked online. I missed the actual reveal on Tobi's radio show and all I could find were unofficial vids for it on YT and unofficial rips on YT music. They all sounded awful. Listened to this official release and both my husband and I first mentioned how much better the sound quality was on the lyric video (listened to both the unofficial ones and this one on my Samsung phone's crappy speaker). It made a huge difference in the enjoyment of this track for sure. Can't wait to give it a listen on our high end audio system tonight!
@@thewarhamster8139 Apparently in some places songs on Spotify are released earlier than in the others. And the songs aren't released worldwide yet, the sound quality is different. I remember the night when Blind Guardian released Deliver Us From Evil single, the sound was kinda dry, but when I heard it next day it was fresh (I still needed a lot of listens to appreciate that song).
@@RockstarWizardess Yeah, I don't use spotify as their streaming bitrate is lower then YT music. Hence, a shittier sound quality accross the board on Spotify when compared to other platforms. Husband and I are audiophiles so we typically buy the cd to support the artist and then rip them in flac or download the flac from the artist if they make them available for our own use. But when the cd or flac isn't an option and we have to go for streaming... YT music over spotify any day.
Do I hear some Hell Fire Club melodies here???? I was a bit skeptical about the forthcoming album, but after blasting this single out a few times, there is no way I will miss out on this new Avantasia chapter. Well done!
Well, when you think you can't get more impressed, you do. Mr Sammet is THE master of compositions for metal music. Absolute stunner, and to work with Ralf, he is sounding better than ever! How is it possible? THANK YOU!!!
The opening riff reminded me a lot the music of Rage (so underrated band). Pure Power metal, you can hear the influence from Rage, Primal Fear, André Matos, to mention some. Great song
Ancioso de escuchar una nueva melodia de esta Grandiosa banda que es Avantasia y agradecido por cada momento de nostalgia que le a dado a mi vida... Agradecido y en espera del nuevo Album!!!!
Simplemente otra obra de arte de Tobi!!!no me canso de escucharla!!! La música es una melodía y la letra excelente!la voz de ralph única como siempre 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻... Larga vida al powermetal!!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Едрить меня через пятое колено, я сижу слушаю последние альбомы PF и Авантазии и тут - дроп сингла! Тоби, ты просто лучший! Следующие 2 месяца будут хорошими, просто отличными! Ждём новый альбом с нетерпением! :D
Tobias never lets the people down. This is awesome! Love your guest speaker, love that you use words in the lyrics no one else would dare to use :P Sounds like this could exist on Edguy's "Hellfire Club", and that album is fucking amazing. Looking forward to this album release, as always from Avantasia/Edguy!
Incredible song as always! Tobi never fails to impress. I would love to see a collaboration with Sebastian Bach, Ralph Saenz (Michael Starr), Miljenko Matijevic, or Johnny Gioeli.
Other than brutal this song!!!! The wait was worth it all!!! This is a clear example of what to do while you have an impediment in front of you: Decide to wait until it's over, or on the contrary do something while it's over! Tobi for this and many more things will continue to be Master!!! Always selecting the best of the best to bring brutal songs, Ralf Scheepers that insane voice, I don't know how to praise this song anymore!!! I can only give standing applause. Majestic!!!! Greetings from Venezuela!!!! Always with you!!!
Ah, old Avantasia /Edguy vibes. I love it. I love it all. The art work is so cool, has something Burtonesque but at the same time has a genuine vibe. Ill be a member of the Moonflower Society in October 21st for sure.
Com certeza, mas pra ser justo já fazia muitos anos que o André Matos não participava de alguma musica do Avantasia, ele só cantava nos shows, provavelmente porque ele ficou hiperfocado nos projetos pessoais
@@ryuukki sim concordo com vc. Ele estava com planos em relação ao filho que provavelmente o afastariam de shows por um bom tempo. Ainda assim, quando ouvi essa música, consegui imaginar perfeitamente ele cantando e arrebentando, como sempre rsrsrs Coisa de fãzoca do Andre
You killed it. Tobi's voice is in great shape, felt like a throwback to hellfire club era. Ralf amazing as always with the high roaring vocals. I really felt like I went back to those wonderful teenage years. This album is gonna be a banger for sure
Wouaouuuu ! This song is a metal storm ! The voice of Ralf sound like the metal god in the name of Rob Halford ! The chorus is amazing. So i love that. Well done Mister Sammet !
OMG I can't believe that Tobias actually got Ralf! It would be freaking glorious if he also got Andi Deris. Just imagine what Tobias would be able to do with Andi's voice!!
Шикарно! В 1998 году я был в экстазе от моих любимейших до сих пор альбомов Edguy - Vain glory opera и Primal fear - Primal fear. А тут такой подарок - дуэт Тобиаса и Ральфа. Композиция супер, исполнили мастера метала топ класса.
I've just yesterday thought about an upcoming album and that it would be nice if Avantasia soon drops a new song for waiting fans! May all your dreams come true like mine with this one!🤘
This is Avantasia!! \o/ That's what I wanted. I also hope Edguy's new album has that rhythm. And the Ralf is spectacular. Thanks! It's been a while since I've heard something this good.
So keen for this album! Moonglow is one of my favorite albums and this song is a banger. We missed you last time, hope to see you down under again soon!
@@blazejecar How nice to hear! Probably coming early next year, got a ton of stuff to sort out in the mix + vinyl pressings take up to ~7 months now. I can tell you Daniel is in his best shape ever though!

Not to mention Jon Oliva :)
I'd love to hear Thomas Winkler(former Gloryhammer, Angus mcsix.) on an avantasia album.
I introduced my nephews to Avantasia yesterday and they both love the hell out of this band (this song was among the many they listened to). I have a feeling my sister is gonna kill me when they eventually start bugging her for Avantasia songs but it's worth it 😂
OMG! This is a heavy metal blasting song! So glad to hear this style of fast riffs in Avantasia again! Great job, Toby!
It's basically Mysteria with patrozza and a different hook that's worse
OMG Miguel de Lys!!! You are the best spanish speaking youtuber, and my metal music guide, If I am here today, it's thanks to you 🙏🏼.
fast and blasting!!

Ey Miguel! no me sorprende nada verte por aquí, ya me imaginaba que te gustaría Avantasia! Saludos!

The verse is classic Primal Fear, the chorus is classic Avantasia. Perfect.
Great song, Hellfire Club vibes in this one! Ralf Scheepers is a BEAST 🤘🏻
Yea, the best vibes are this that you meant ❤️😀
Hellfire Club is handsdown my favorite album next to Power Plant by Gamma Ray. Start to finish. This song "came together" but doesn't match the near perfection that is Book of Shallows
"Welcome to the freaky show!!!" 🤘🤘🤘
@@ngnerdgames282 MYSTERIA, fires a blazing!
EPIC song! Finally Tobi found his way back to the good old Metal Opera style! Hell yeah these screams are killer - Scheepers fits in very well 🤘🔥🤘
Well, there always had been songs like this one in the Avantasia albums since The Scarecrow.
@@mikeprado30 VERY scarcely. This sounds more Edguy than Avantasia, and I'm not complaining
I sort of expected this album to be the most defanged and pop-rock in the discography due to the general trend of their work, but was pleasantly surprised. Tobias has still got it!
Pure german metal. Love the voices, Tobi and Ralf did a very good job.
What a burner, that song is FIRE! In terms of story I am getting a real Frankenstein vibe with the pitchforks and hunting down the protagonist even haunting their dreams. You are always such a compelling storyteller Tobi!
Senti um feelingzinho ai de The Scarecrow... Esse album promete!
Holy sh´t this track gave me a f'ckin shot of adrenaline and here it's 7am Im blown away! Can't wait for the whole album! Tobi you are such a legend!
Didn't appreciate the song much last night, but when I woke up today and listened to the song again I loved it. I had this on repeat. And this video is done so well.
Same. I was even a smidge disappointed the first time I heard it. But then I played it again an hour later... and have heard it like 20 times since.

How long I have waited for it!!!! New Single by Avantasia!!!!!!!!!

Que dia feliz! Acordar com esse novo hino de musica! Obrigada Tobi, ficou incrível!! Ansiosa pelo lançamento do disco sz
O hino costuma ser música
Muito fod@ essa música!!
This is a majorly kick-ass tune!! Love me some Ralf Scheepers. That voice!!! 🔥🎤🎶
Ralf is one of the best singer metal. Realy awesome singer.
Do I hear some Hell Fire Club melodies here???? I was a bit skeptical about the forthcoming album, but after blasting this single out a few times, there is no way I will miss out on this new Avantasia chapter. Well done!
Tobi is back with a bang! And he wasn't lying about his voice sounding younger.
I think this break with Edguy and Avantasia has done him good. Burn out is never a good thing.
Well, when you think you can't get more impressed, you do. Mr Sammet is THE master of compositions for metal music. Absolute stunner, and to work with Ralf, he is sounding better than ever! How is it possible? THANK YOU!!!
Your Voice Is Addictive... Loved It!
2 of my favorite vocalists together, this should happen more often! Damn, that was FIRE!

Finally Ralf Scheepers on Avantasia
Excelente como siempre, Avantasia nunca decepciona, qué animales para cantar.
Amazing track!! Fast yet melodic. Greetings from Malta 🇲🇹...!!!
Incredible song as always! Tobi never fails to impress. I would love to see a collaboration with Sebastian Bach, Ralph Saenz (Michael Starr), Miljenko Matijevic, or Johnny Gioeli.
Finally, Avantasia is back (with new material)!
Great to have Ralf Scheepers, Noora Louhimo next? Pleeeease...
Whoa THATS HEAVY!!! Toby can literally work with anyone..
This song is just beastly. Thank you Tobi and whole Avantasia Family for making this happen
I stand up, there hasn't been something powerful from Avantasia for a long time. Like old times, AMAZING JOB TOBI 👏👏🤟🤟
SIMPLESMENTE ÉPICO 🔥🔥

Uffff Heavy Metal puro y duro como debe de ser, gracias Tobias, gracias Ralf, grandes entre los grandes, un saludo desde Colombia.
É impossível não amar esta banda!!!
Cada trabalho novo uma nova obra de arte bem construída e produzida.
Тобиас как всегда - на самом высоком уровне! Круть!!!
Tomara que o álbum venha nessa pegada!!
Always animal! 🔥🔥🔥

HOLY SHIT!! New Avantasia music!!
I'm ready for a concert to sing it out loud "FIRE!"
You killed it. Tobi's voice is in great shape, felt like a throwback to hellfire club era. Ralf amazing as always with the high roaring vocals. I really felt like I went back to those wonderful teenage years. This album is gonna be a banger for sure
Except his voice is not as good or high
@@wingedhussar1453 Only because he's abusing it less, he is in fact singing several times better.

Great job!!!
Another great masterpiece. Can’t wait to hear the album. Tobi, you did it again.
What a new song. Unbelivable, still the best project after Years... Wow! 🔥
Wouaouuuu ! This song is a metal storm ! The voice of Ralf sound like the metal god in the name of Rob Halford ! The chorus is amazing. So i love that. Well done Mister Sammet !
Ralf Sounds like elemental cross of Halford and UDO Really wailing this one. Very good
Another masterpiece of Mr. Tobias Sammet. SUPERB! lml
Waiting for the full album.🤘🤘🤘🤘
Avantasia never disappoints! Ralf Scheepers sounds like Rob Halford at "Painkiller" times! Just a great song
I want moooore! Bring us more Avantasia Tobi.

Tobias Sammet is insanely good at writing a catchy tune. Keep them coming Tobi, been a fan since Metal Opera.
We love Ralph and Tobias,congratulations!!!
Amazing Song!! Can't wait for the entire album.
Getting more Edguy vibes here. First thought "Mysteria" meets "nailed to the wheel". Great guitarsolo. Like this heavier side of Avantasia 🤘
thought the same thing!
Reminds me of 'HellFIRE ( 😉) Club'-era Edguy. \m/
I've just yesterday thought about an upcoming album and that it would be nice if Avantasia soon drops a new song for waiting fans! May all your dreams come true like mine with this one!🤘
Literally went through the same thing yesterday! Maybe if we concentrate our efforts we can get this album faster 🤘

Maravilhoso. Não vejo a hora de ouvir o álbum todo. 🖤🤟🏻
Une pure merveille !! 💖💖💖💖 Hâte de découvrir l'album !!

Absolutely brilliant! I absolutely love Avantasia sounds from their roots mixed with the modern melodies!!! Can't wait to see what's to come!!
