CHALICE OF AGONY
Segunda obra de Sammet bajo el nombre de Avantasia, la continuación de su metal opera que tanto sorprendiera a la escena internacional transformándose en un éxito casi al instante. Este "The metal opera parte 2" es para mí un punto de inflexión en Avantasia pues lo veo como la obra a partir de la que Sammet pensó en hacer un proyecto estable y alejarse de ese concepto claramente "argumental" con esa linea tan de historia y girar un poco hacia una banda más tradicional de power, eso sí manteniendo el sello Avantasia a través siempre de colaboraciones de lujo. Esta decisión hizo que en parte la banda perdiese la originalidad inicial y que incluso la banda madre de Sammet, "Edguy" se resintiese compositivamente para mi gusto, a pesar de lo espaciado de los discos de Avantasia, pero alimentar creativamente dos bandas semejantes tiene que resultar complicado, incluso para un músico como Sammet, si quieres mantener el nivel arriba. La prueba de lo que digo la veo cinco años más tarde de este "Metal opera parte 2", en 2007 con su "Lost in space" doble EP, con temas mucho más "Single" por así decir y con una estructura más "Edguy". Sea como fuere, el disco que hoy nos ocupa, "The metal opera part 2" de 2002, resulta un digno sucesor de su deslumbrante debut y planteaba de manera natural la necesidad de hacer de Avantasia una proyecto duradero que muchos metalheads demandaban. Hoy quiero destacar de esta obra uno de sus temas, en concreto este "Chalice of agony", con la colaboración vocal de André Matos y Kai Hansen, y del que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Ah-Hugh!
Show me the way to the hallways
below Rome. I will be there
I've seen them burning in fire
They all bear too much to bear
[Elderane:]
Why don't you think of all those who will come
Don't you waste your life
[Gabriel:]
Don't you try show me the way
Don't need 'good advice'
[Elderane:]
Cold hallways so old, a chalice of gold
A guard as they say, paralyzed
Follow the cries from out of the blood
The wine in the cup
[Gabriel:]
Out of the wine, out of the chalice of agony
Welcome to Avantasia
Out of the wine, out of the chalice of agony
Welcome to Avantasia
[Gabriel:]
Regrin my friend we are passing the gate
Back into my world
[Regrin:]
I am afraid of the guard and I wish
Warnings had been heard
[Gabriel:]
Welcome to Rome, it's our mission
to make tortured spirits rise
[Regrin:]
Something s in here, oh I wish I could hide
from its staring eyes
[Gabriel:]
Cold hallways so old, a chalice of gold
And I feel a chill
Staring eyes, while I hear the cries
From out of the blood, the wine in the cup
Out of the wine, out of the chalice of agony
Welcome to Avantasia
Out of the wine, out of the chalice of agony
Welcome to Avantasia
Solo: Henjo Richter
No way out, we got to run to the gate
No way out, for some of the souls it's too late
Jakob are you free
Out of the wine, out of the chalice of agony
Welcome to Avantasia
Out of the wine, out of the chalice of agony
Welcome to Avantasia
