Among the many guest musicians are Alice Cooper, Eric Singer (KISS), Rudolf Schenker (Scorpions), Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween), Kai Hansen & Henjo Richter (Gamma Ray), Roy Khan (Kamelot), Jorn Lande, Bob Catley (Magnum) and many more. The limited edition contains a bonus DVD with video material, bonus tracks and an interview where Tobias speaks about the conceptual story of the album. On July 31st Avantasia will play their only live show in Germany as headliner at the legendary Wacken Open Air.
