Avantasia release new music video for ‘The Witch’

AVANTASIA have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Witch, is taken from the veteran power/symphonic metal band’s upcoming new album, Here Be Dragons, which is scheduled to be released later this month, via Napalm Records. The new song features a guest appearance from Tommy Karevik of KAMELOT.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, band mastermind Tobias Sammet shares, “The Witch is a dark and enchanting song that carries many traditional AVANTASIA trademarks, and yet it has a sinister and magical mood that I think is somehow new in the world of AVANTASIA, while it perfectly blends with the rest of the album. Tommy Karevik of KAMELOT did a wonderful job on this one and I can’t wait to sing this song with Tommy on our forthcoming tour. We’ll bring the great stage setting to turn the stage into the ghost infested old castle resembling the ancient building which we shot the stunning video clip for the track at. It’s a beautiful track, powerful, anthemic, melodic and full of eerie little details. I am extremely proud of the song and the whole album.”
