Avantasia
The Scarecrow

The basis of the material is music with the influence of hard rock, as well as with catchy melodies. Sometimes the music resembles the last Edguy (2006) + Whitesnake, but with beautiful orchestrations and keys from Miro (Miro also contributed to the music of the albums Rhapsody, Kamelot) and unique memorable solos from guitar masters. Regarding vocals, everyone sang well, but not in the best manner. Indeed, a lot of Zammet, and he sings well here. But I don’t know why it happened, but other vocalists sing no better than him. This is not good, because each of them, as is known from their work outside Avantazia, is unique. For example, Jorn doesn’t have such a wide range and variation of voice parameters as on his own solo album “Worldchanger” or work in Ark, there is no power like in Beyond Twillight. Even to Masterplan (the group in which Jorn sang) does not reach. Jorn sings more hoarsely, not going not up to the very bottom, but still not bad with his unique timbre, and in the manner reminding Dio. Roy Han (Kamelot) sings in a more purely power manner, for which his voice is not very suitable. Better to listen to him in Camelot. Returning to Landa, I will say that Zammet sings here very similar to him. But the exception from the vocalists who were not full at all, perhaps, was Alice Cooper with her unique vocals. The song with Cooper recalls his work of the 21st century.
