Liner Notes
A Paranormal Evening with the Moonflower Society is a work on which Tobias Sammet invited varied singers, assembling theatrical narrative and grandiose melody like continuous scenes. Symphonic ornament, catchy choruses and hard-rock guitar become one, and each guest’s voice functions not as a mere cameo but as a character. It is a record on which a strongly fantasy-colored world can be fully enjoyed.
On “Welcome To The Shadows,” “The Wicked Rule The Night” and “The Moonflower Society,” the pleasure of melodic metal can be fully savored. Star guests such as Michael Kiske, Bob Catley and Floor Jansen (Nightwish) gather. Songs like “Kill The Pain Away” and “Rhyme And Reason” breathe the band’s full playing too. A grand worldview and accessible melody coexist. Even as a veteran, Sammet’s creative drive has not dimmed in the least — a full record.
