Tobias Sammet's Avantasia is a PowerMetal "band" from Fulda, Germany, and the solo side-project of Music/{{Edguy}}'s Tobias Sammet. He started working on it in 1999. All five of Avantasia's albums are RockOperas and are split between two different stories: ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Metal Opera]]'' and ''The Wicked Trilogy''. With some of the guests (including Music/AliceCooper and [[Music/{{Scorpions}} Klaus Meine]]) that appear on the albums, one might come to the conclusion that the project is more or less Sammet's way of showing off his connections if it weren't for the fact that the music is so [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome damn cool.]] Speaking of guest members, if you can think of a power metal vocalist, there's a very good chance that they've contributed to Avantasia.
