| EDGUY Reveal New Album Title. |
|
|
 |
 EDGUY recently entered German Gate Studios to commence recording the follow up album to "Rocket Ride". Named "Tinnitus Sanctus", the new album is being produced by Sascha Paeth and is scheduled to be released in November 2008.
Frontman Tobias Sammet commented: "The title just refers to the wall of sound that will bulldoze you. Let's be modest: We have ten extraordinary songs and this new album is gonna be our ticket to the hall of fame alongside with LED ZEPPELIN, BLACK SABBATH and AC/DC. There won't be a hit single this time, not even a flop single; not only because most songs are too long for a single, but also because for a single we had to produce way more stuff, lose money and need a time frame to release it. The album would come later then and that would suck. 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. I know what some fans may think, because if my favourite bands would have come up with statements like that I would have been scared to death, but in our case I am sure this could be the album we'll be measured by in the future."

| AVANTASIA: New CD To Feature ALICE COOPER, MICHAEL KISKE And RUDOLPH SCHENKER. |
|
|
|
EDGUY frontman Tobias Sammet has announced that Scorpions guitarist Rudolf Schenker and Alice Cooper will appear as guest musicians on his forthcoming AVANTASIA project. This is what he had to say:
Tobias (AVANTASIA, EDGUY): "I am really proud and grateful to have Rudolf and Alice as guests on the album. I am glad Rudolf finally managed to do it as the Scorpions have been so busy promoting their new album "Humanity Hour1" which I think is their best since 1987. We had to re-schedule the session once and finally we worked things out catching up backstage in Slovakia during a Scorpions/Edguy show. And what can I say about Alice Cooper? He is a unique American legend! Everybody knows him and all I can say is: I ain't worthy, I ain't worthy! The role he's sung suits him perfectly! Both Rudolf and Alice - did great performances and I am truely blessed to have won them as special guests for my album!"
Also starring on Avantasia so far: Sascha Paeth, Henjo Richter (Gamma Ray), Eric Singer (Kiss, Alice Cooper), Miro, Michael Kiske, Jorn Lande (ex-Masterplan), Bob Catley (Magnum) and Amanda Somerville.
Lost In Space Part 1 & 2 is due to be released on October 19th.
In other news, it has been announced that AVANTASIA will headline Wacken Open Air in 2008 along side Iron Maiden and Children Of Bodom. More on the news later...
