Edguy frontman Tobias Sammet’s side project Avantasia has garnished massive success, so much so that his earlier records LOST IN SPACE PART 1 & 2 can get a deluxe consolidated reintroduction to the masses. This collection combines the two previously released entities with a slew of operatically-tinged guest appearance metal bonus goodness for an essential purchase for the definitive fan of Sammet and his powerful and melodic metal musings. www.nuclearblastusa.com -Mike SOS

Avantasia is Tobias Sammet (Vocals/Bass), Sascha Paeth (Guitars), & Eric Singer Drums.
