Music news
Making another entry about ten seconds after the previous one, but they're not quite related enough to edit one into the other, and hey, this is interesting.
In one of my older music posts about Edguy, I said this:
"After Mandrake and Hellfire Club, they [Edguy] underwent a bit of a genre shift from typical high fantasy epic power metal to an affectionate "'80s hair bands were awesome, let's do that" vibe, turning their Scorpions influence into the more-hard-rock-than-any-sort-of-metal Rocket Ride. As that is their most recent album as of this writeup, whether it was a fluke or if the change is permanent is yet to be seen. However, lead singer Tobias Sammet is also the mastermind behind Avantasia, and comparing their old work (The Metal Opera, both parts) to their new (The Scarecrow) reveals that, at the very least, Rocket Ride alone didn't get all the glam rock out of Sammet's system."
Well, check this out.
"For the record: Musically, we don’t go back to the roots. It's not the "Legacy of Mandrake part 2" and it’s not a little brother of Rocket Ride either. It's a new album and we’ve set off to new horizons once more! The stuff sounds really broad, very anthemic, heavy and ballsy. We've kept our trademarks and still there are a lot of elements that are different to anything we've done before."
That sounds promising. I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out, then.
