Our latest audio-visual treat well and truly lives up to that description, as it is real treat, especially for the eyes, and comes courtesy of one of the true standard bearers of the Teutonic power metal genre, the maestro known as Tobias Sammet, who is summoning and welcoming us into his very own #Creepshow:
Sammet told us about the song and its accompanying video clip:
‘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!
‘Creepshow’ is taken from Avantasia’s tenth studio album, ‘Here Be Dragons‘, which is scheduled for release on 28 February.
