The story of AVANTASIA begins much like any other fairy tale, with a young protagonist not unlike you, average reader. Picture a young boy from a small German town going far and beyond to fulfill his dreams of fronting a huge heavy metal band. That boy’s name is Tobias Sammet, and he eventually did rise to acclaim with his teammates from their childhood band Edguy. Starting out as 14-year olds, the Edguys were heavily influenced by their much more recognized countrymen, Helloween, as well as classic acts such as AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Magnum, and Kiss.

During the HELLOWEEN years, Michael Kiske gained his reputation as one of the best singers of the scene and he has been often rumored to join very successful metal bands.
