Leading rock and metal band AVANTASIA have unveiled their third new single from the highly anticipated 10th studio album, “Here Be Dragons“, entitled “The Witch”! The powerful anthem features guest vocals from Kamelot singer Tommy Karevik and blends cinematic dark soundscapes that perfectly support the song’s haunting storyline. Accompanied by a spellbinding official music video, “The Witch” enhances its mysterious, ghostly atmosphere and truly mesmerizes the listener.
Tobias Sammet on “The Witch”:
“‘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 where we shot the stunning video clip for the track. 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.”
