The Metal Opera, Pt. II

Avantasia

A fourteen-minute opening epic sets the stage for this symphonic metal conclusion. Multiple legendary voices collide over dense choirs and galloping riffs.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition at the nine minute mark of The Seven Angels where the tempo shifts into a soaring melodic resolution.
The aggressive vocal interplay in Chalice of Agony where the grit of the verses meets a massive symphonic wall.
The mournful piano opening of Anywhere that builds into a classic power ballad crescendo.
