Avantasia release new song ‘Moonglow’

AVANTASIA have released a brand new song!

The song, titled Moonglow, is the title-track from the band’s upcoming eighth studio album which is scheduled to be released in February.

The new song features a guest vocal appearance from Candice Night and speaking about the song, band mastermind Tobias Sammet says, “yes, we’ve found a song on the new album that is below the four minutes benchmark and it would work as a single. And despite being rather short it’s also representative for the world of AVANTASIA. Somehow in hindsight I think that my admiration for Mike Oldfield shines through here, which wasn’t intentional but you can’t really control that. And by and large I find the song to be a typical AVANTASIA song nevertheless. The enchanting Candice Night did an amazing vocal job, and in all modesty, I think so did I, ha! Moonglow is a declaration of love to the moon, the night; it’s about entering a different world and the sacred experiences that go along with it.”

Moonglow is set for release on February 15th via Nuclear Blast Records.
