Avaland - "Holy Kingdom Of Fools" (video)
Ο Adam Wilstorm είναι ένας μάγος, στον οποίο "φόρτωσε" η μοίρα το βαρύ φορτίο της σωτηρίας του βασιλείου του (ή μήπως της;) Avaland. Την ιστορία του εξιστορεί η metal όπερα "Theater Of Sorcery" που κυκλοφόρησε σήμερα. Η εταιρεία τους αναφέρει πως η μουσική τους πρόταση απευθύνεται στους φίλους του ήχου και του ύφους των Avantasia, Ayreon, Beast In Black, Nightmare, Sonata Arctica...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Symphonic Metal Opera Avaland unveils new single "Rise From The Ashes" taken from "Theater of Sorcery" out April 2, 2021. "Rise From The Ashes" features Zaher Zorgati (Myrath), Jeff Kanji, Heli Andrea (Mobius / OLANE), Emmanuelson (Rising Steel / Ellipsis), Zak Stevens (Ex-Savatage/TSO/Archon Angel), Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear / ex-Gamma Ray), Madie (Nightmare / Faith In Agony).
Inspired by heroic fantasy, history, mythologies, and esoterism, 22-year-old prodigy Adrien G. Gzagg decided to create an epic story album with 8 characters. Entitled "Theater Of Sorcery", the debut will be a theatrical metal adventure that tells the story of a young sorcerer Adam Wilstorm who could be the salvation of bringing back the light to the kingdom of Avaland and during his journey, he must learn to control his powers linked to the Storm. The debut album "Theater of Sorcery" will be released on April 2, 2021.»
Adrien G. Gzagg: «I started my heavy metal life as a great fan of Avantasia and Ayreon. I was impressed by those big teams Tobias Sammet and Arjen Lucassen could create.
I quickly knew I would make something like this in my life! It wasn’t easy to find musicians who were crazy enough to follow me in this adventure, and I thank them so much for their trust in this project, especially guitarist Christophe Feutrier (guitars) my partner in crime for Avaland for 5 years now.
I like to also add that Avaland is not a “classic” band, it’s a Metal-Opera and when Covid is over, I plan to take it the stage with many vocalists to perform this theatrical tale of an epic and magical story. To sum it up, Avaland is a modern-age opera to not just fans of metal, but beyond!»
Adrien comments "Holy Kingdom Of Fools": «A big allusion to Tobias Sammet and Edguy’s spirit (cf. “King Of Fools”) ! In this song, with the incredible Jeff Kanji, I would like to criticize the kind of people who follow the fashions just because it’s fashion, the “sheeps” who makes choices just because the others make those choices.
In the story Jacob, Adam’s best friend, is attracted by this “perfect” world where everybody leaves in peace but Adam feels bad about this kind of dictatorial land. I’d like to see it as an heroic-fantasy version of 1984 (George Orwell).»
