| | Opera metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | One of the first serious metal bands to hire an actual opera singer and orchestra was the progressive metal band Celtic Frost, on the album Into the Pandemonium. | | | The primary influence of Opera Metal is the Power Metal genre created by Iron Maiden in the 1980s although a strong influence of gothic rock can be heard as well. | | | The British band Queen is one of the better known exponents of this genre, exemplified by their world wide hit Bohemian Rhapsody. |

| | The second and final installment of this epic, The Metal Opera, Part 2 is a distinguished work of talent and finesse that boasts almost one full hour of epic song structures, choirs, and symphonic backdrops. | | | Rooted in history and based on characters that once lived in late medieval times, The Metal Opera was a fantasy tale of deceit, treachery, religion, imprisonment, and witchcraft, and was as grandiose as it was symphonic, with enormous, envy-inducing vocal melodies, resplendent choral passages and majestic classical movements throughout. | | | Impressed by the passion with which Blind Guardian vocalist Hansi Kürsch sung the vocal lines Sammet had written for him, Tobias was inspired to record an entire album with musicians he admired and felt influenced by. |

| | The melodies are charming and the harmonies are beautiful, and when conjugated with the instrumentation of cello, acoustic guitar, mandolin, dulcimer, organ, recorders and hand percussion it might lead some people to think they were listening to an art rock or progressive rock record. | | | Metal Blade was offering to release "Penguin Dust" to the world wide market through their powerful music marketing machine, and if all went well... | | | In the 70's Kemper formed the art rock band ArkAngel (which later became known as Radio Halo) and in the 80's he released his first solo album of Medieval music called "The Vigil." In the late 90's Kemper was a member of the Folk/Rock group Caedman's Call. |

| | As far as Savatage (one of my top 5 metal bands), technically none of their CONCEPT albums are "opera's" in the same sense as the 2 I mention above or the one described in this blabbermouth story. | | | All the previous works by well known bands were just recordings right, not an actual pre-existing Opera that will be performed live. | | | "A local metal band called PICA FIERCE has taken Gounod's music and paraphrased it, if you will," Karstensen said, insisting that the result will be the world's first heavy metal opera. |

| | Although it fails as a metal opera, as a power metal album, "The Metal Opera" is actually pretty good. | | | Although the "Streets" booklet modestly says "A Rock Opera", while the slipcase of “Into the Electric Castle” reads "A Space Opera", Tobias Sammet made a bold statement in 2001 by dubbing his solo project, "The Metal Opera", implying that his AVANTASIA discs are the definitive combination of heavy metal might and operatic bombast. | | | Although each singer is supposed to be a character in Tobias’ story, everyone sounds exactly the same on "The Metal Opera" as they do in their respective bands. |

| | Queensryche expanded on its mental metal image with this year's sleeper hit "Empire," which is not a concept album. | | | While one might expect a metal opera to be as simple as the theme to "Green Acres," metal bands do concentrate on images, orchestration and verse rather than rhymes and rhythms. | | | Although there were a few rock operas in the 1970s, it has now fallen upon progressive metal bands to further the cause. |

| | After releasing four albums with his band Edguy in which each album is better than the previous he goes out on a side project and writes a metal opera, which in my opinion eclipses even his brilliant work with his full time band. | | | The music is just what you would expect, power metal done at a very high level with above average musicianship, very catchy songs with high flying choruses, a lot of variation in the song structures and incredible vocals. | | | Tobias Sammet is one of those people in metal music that never fail to piss me off. |

| | Of course there are also some cheesey ballads between the louder songs, as on every “progressive” metal album, to give the listener the illusion that the music presented here is ‘varied’. | | | What you hear when you listen closely is a mishmash of the sounds of many well-known metal bands, with a little choir thrown in, and some keyboards and strings to make it sound symphonic. | | | It’s a concept album with a very good story (if you like fantasy stories like The Lord Of The Rings) and the music is different from other metal operas, as there are a lot of symphonic arrangements on this record. |

| | Leaving no doubt about who is in command for this hurricane-like slamming piece, which doubles as perhaps the heaviest slab of metal on the album, the entire thing smokes with aggressive performances by both David and Tobi alike attempting to outdo one another on the vicious scale. | | | Stuffed with complex arrangements, sweeping Savatage-ish pompous theatrics that thrill the soul to its metal core, glorious nods to vast medieval epics, and thunderously explosive examples of speed metal's finest...Tobias has compacted it all into one blazing album of terrible beauty and tragic wonder. | | | One of the finer moments of Avantasia and definitely the best straightforward power metal song of the year thanks to the two voices that shove it into near classic status. |
