Tobias Sammet on “Against The Wind”:

“’Against The Wind’ is an anthemic uptempo rocket that contains lot a lot of what AVANTASIA stands for. What I especially like about the song is the combination of speed and power, along with an uplifting and elating harmonic and melodic approach. It comes over you with sheer force, but it drags you along to a better place, it gives you strength and encourages you to stay true to yourself in adverse wind and raise the middle finger to those who want to keep you from being yourself.

Musically and vocally it’s quite a demanding tune, as you need the full toolkit of a Power Metal singer, but it’s got some loose kind of Journey feeling also in certain places that require a completely different way of feeling the song. So I was looking for a vocal partner who would have Metal skills and quite a range, but also understand the background of singers like Sam Cooke or Steve Perry. And I knew that Kenny Leckremo of H.e.a.t would be able to pull it off. In all modesty: I think we both sound amazing together here. I love this song!”

Rock and metal sensation AVANTASIA have released the new single “Against The Wind” from the upcoming album, Here Be Dragons, out February 28, 2025 via Napalm Records! The heavy metal number features H.E.A.T. vocalist Kenny Leckremo and serves as yet another proof of the versatility of AVANTASIA’s iconic sound.

AVANTASIA’s success has seen hundreds of millions of streams, gold awards and chart-topping albums as well as sold-out arena tours and headline slots at major festivals, cementing the band’s standing at the very top of the international metal scene. AVANTASIA’s 10th studio album is set to surprise fans old and new with plenty of fresh soundscape,s and the band will be bringing their most monumental show yet to arenas across Europe with their “Here Be Dragons” headline tour kicking off in March.
