EDGUY front-man Tobias Sammet‘s AVANTASIA project just released its 9th album, “A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society”, this past Friday (October 21) via Nuclear Blast. To mark the occasion, AVANTASIA have released a new single, “Kill The Pain Away”. Featuring Nightwish vocalist Floor Jansen, “Kill The Pain Away” is another impressive duet, that serves as a powerful and transportive piece of emphatic power metal.

Tobias Sammet comments: “When I was writing ‘Kill The Pain Away’ I immediately had Floor’s voice in my head. I basically wrote the song for her being my duet partner. The song may have an 80’s pop-touch for some and stylistically may also remind others of Nightwish, but in the end, it still sounds like AVANTASIA.”

“A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society” was produced by Sammet with AVANTASIA guitar player Sascha Paeth. The cover artwork was created by Swedish illustrator Alexander Jansson.

Sammet previously stated about the new album: “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 keeping 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.”
