German Symphonic Metal outfit, Avantasia, announced last night via Facebook, that Dee Snider of Twisted Sister will be featured on their upcoming album.
The new album, Ghostlights, will be released on January 29th, 2016.
Joining the band and Snider on the release also includes, Geoff Tate (ex-Queensryche), Jorn Lande, Bob Catley (Magnum) and Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween). More singers are expected to be announced soon.
Tobias Sammet commented: “I’ve always been a fan of Twisted Sister and Dee Snider in particular. He is entertaining, flamboyant, energetic, loud, tongue in cheek, colourful and mean! When I was young, I remember that he was the kind of character that I wanted to be. A crossing between peacock, jackal and Bugs Bunny. I loved it!”
