Avantasia: The Mystery of Time, Album Art and New Details!

The Mystery of Time Low Res

Highly-acclaimed British fantasy artist Rodney Matthews (Thin Lizzy, Asia, Nazareth, Magnum) is the talent behind AVANTASIA’s album artwork for The Mystery Of Time.

States AVANTASIA mastermind Tobias Sammet:

“It is a great honor for me to have Rodney create the artwork . . . Since the new album is a conceptual album and its story has a magical and enchanting atmosphere, there was no other painter I could think of to create the artwork.  I’ve had several creative conversations with Rodney during the process and I had the feeling that the concept was inspiring to him right from the start.  I put a lot of energy into producing a very detailed and fascinating album, and Rodney had that same enthusiasm to create an artwork just as detailed and fascinating.  This is a new chapter in AVANTASIA’s history and I think it didn’t deserve less than a magical painting by my favorite painter and childhood hero: The one and only Rodney Matthews!”

The Mystery Of Time will be released this spring.
