About
Rock and metal flagship AVANTASIA will release their thrilling 10th studio album and Napalm Records debut, Here Be Dragons, on February 28, 2025, and today the band unleashes the energizing first new single “Creepshow”! The new track is one of the catchiest songs of AVANTASIA’s career so far, and it arrives with an exciting, cinematic music video. The guaranteed future hit rings in a new era of AVANTASIA and will be an integral part of AVANTASIA’s spectacular live shows.
In their 25 years of existence, AVANTASIA has become one of the biggest leading forces in metal, boasting nine successful previous albums (such as the #1 charting Moonglow), worldwide sold-out arena tours and headline shows at all of the most important metal festivals. Here Be Dragons is sure to exceed all expectations as the most powerful AVANTASIA album so far.
Tobias Sammet on the single and video:
Creepshow is a perfect single. It’s short and catchy, and it emphasizes a facet of my work that has taken a backseat in my music in recent years. It’s light-hearted and the opposite of melancholic. And it's fresh, boisterous and unabashed - a straightforward kick-ass anthem. Also, even though it may seem like a reminiscence of my earlier writing, I think we managed to turn the whole thing into a trademark AVANTASIA tune, as we accentuated with the music video. We rented a haunted castle in North England and celebrated a night in the world of spectres and undead creatures. This is the most vibrant and eccentric music video I’ve ever shot in my entire career, not dead-serious, but certainly of serious quality! I can’t wait to play Creepshow live on our tour next year, I can already see the whole venue jumping up and down and screaming along!”
