 Avantasia is not a jumble of commercially potent hits thrown together at random, but it is also a concept album where each singer plays a real character.

 What makes the Avantasia project unique is not its music but the presence of so many European and non-European metal artists guided by a 25-year-old mix of genius and madness.

Avantasia II by Tobias Sammet masterfully assembles power metal clichés into a highly collaborative metal opera featuring many renowned artists. The album's strength lies in its rich vocal arrangements and storytelling through character performances. Though it lacks innovation, it offers memorable tracks like 'Seven Angels' and 'In Quest For.' Overall, it serves as a robust follow-up to the first part and a solid introduction to the genre for newcomers. Discover the epic metal opera Avantasia II—listen now and experience a star-studded power metal journey!

 Gotthard returns to making hard rock, and I am pleased.

 'Domino Effect' is a valuable and daring CD... extremely enjoyable in the total of 14 tracks.

Gotthard's Domino Effect marks a welcome return to their hard rock roots after the polished melodic rock of Lipservice. The album’s heavier riffs and raw energy are balanced by emotional ballads and skilled musicianship. Although some tracks feel predictable, the overall work is engaging and confidently produced. Fans of the band's earlier style will appreciate this daring and professional effort. Discover Gotthard’s bold return to hard rock—listen to Domino Effect and experience their raw energy and melodic mastery!
