Sunstorm - Restless Fight
Release Date: 22 Nov 2024
The AOR/Melodic rock quintet Sunstorm returned last week with the new album, “Restless Fight”.
Since 2021, Sunstorm features one of the most impressive vocal talents of recent years, Lords of Black and Rainbow singer Ronnie Romero. Ronnie's voice and prolific musical activity have brought him to the forefront of the hard rock/metal scene. With the new album "Restless Fight", the third to feature Ronnie Romero, Sunstorm changed its skin. The new line-up that backs Ronnie, comes from a heavy background.
On guitars, Aldo Lonobile, musician, songwriter and producer (Geoff Tate's Sweet Oblivion, Archon Angel feat. Zak Stevens, Ring Of Fire feat. Mark Boals), Andrea Arcangeli (from the Italian progressive metal band DGM) on bass, Alfonso Mocerino (ex-Temperance, Virtual Simmetry) on drums and Antonio Agate (one of the most talented Italian keyboard players and arranger for symphonic orchestras, featured in countless albums) on keyboards. It brings back the Sunstorm’s classic AOR/Hard Rock formula with a strongest dose of energy, reaching a more dynamic and bombastic approach.
Since the inception of the new album, it was decided to keep the roots of Sunstorm’s musical style, specifically the AOR sound of the early records that everyone wanted, but with a special attention to the 80’s way to arrange the guitars and keys in order to reach more powerful vibrations. The aim was to give a fresh appeal to the new music so that it could be the perfect foundation for Ronnie Romero, to match his powerful vocal style.
The result is “Restless Fight”, an album where Ronnie’s vocal acrobatics sit perfectly into Aldo Lonobile’s way to play guitars, clearly influenced by the 80’s guitar heroes such as Jake E. Lee and Steve Stevens.
Ronnie Romero says, “I really love the new album. I believe it keeps the Sunstorm essence with an AOR base, but bringing a fresh more guitar oriented and a heavier sound. It was fantastic to work with Aldo for the first time and I believe the fans are going to like the album very much.”

159: Queensrÿche // Operation: Mindcrime
Operation: Mindcrime Queensrÿche 1988, Manhattan
Queensrÿche have always been difficult to explain to friends outside the metal world. The sound of their commercial prime is mostly too posh to be lumped in with Iron Maiden or Judas Priest; their take on prog doesn’t exactly evoke Rush or Yes; they have the aesthetics of a hair band but they’re so self-serious! The reaction I mostly get is simply, “I don’t like this,” which is fair, and they haven’t even seen Geoff Tate, owner of the most punchable face this side of Richard Spencer.
youtube
I think they’re great though, despite their pretentions and because of them. Their most celebrated record, 1988’s Operation: Mindcrime, is a concept album about a brainwashed leftist assassin that could be best described as Jesus Christ Superstar performed by coked-out vampires. As with its equally excellent predecessor Rage for Order (1986), Mindcrime is an ambitious mishmash of antiauthoritarian politics, techno-paranoia, reactionary positions on drug addiction, and light fetish play. Despite grappling with huge ideas, this is neither deep nor intellectually coherent stuff, but it provides the band with the ideal backdrop for the decadent, urban form of metal they had by-now perfected.
The demands of getting Mindcrime’s story across mean most of the lyrics are delivered in the form of in-character monologues (“Hi I’m [character], let me explain my motivations to you”), which would be dreary if the music didn’t absolutely cook. The sabre dance-like interplay between guitarists Chris DeGarmo and Michael Wilton that distinguished their earlier efforts has evolved in a raunchier, pop direction without sacrificing its ingenuity, while Scott Rockenfield remains one of the most ‘musical’ drummers in the genre. Flying over all is Tate, whose combination of limitless range and a downright bitchy vocal timbre gives this stuff an emotive, even femme-y quality uncommon at the time in the heavier reaches of the genre.
Tradition teaches us that the ten-minute song on any ‘80s metal record is going to be the band’s clearance sale for gently-used surplus riffs, but Mindcrime’s “Suite Sister Mary” (dumb title) is something else entirely. A gothy, theatrical duet between Tate, as addled terrorist Nikki, and guest vocalist Pamela Moore as Sister Mary, a teenaged nun/sex worker, it’s closer to a Jim Steinman production than anything else the metal genre had yet produced—we’ve got a Latin choir, orchestral arrangements, burning thighs, conflating faith with the feeling of getting a boner in too-tight pants, stately guitar harmonies, and only two choruses. Though they never really produced anything quite like it again, “Suite Sister Mary” makes a nice synecdoche for the go-our-own-way chutzpah that allowed Queensrÿche to become a unique force in their genre, and Operation: Mindcrime a classic of ‘80s music as a whole.

Geoff Tate keeps his vocal cords in top shape with motor oil. He confirmed this in an interview with the rest of Queensryche once on how he manages to hit the high notes
Yes, a common thing among metal singers Rob Halford does it too

“Un encuentro paranormal con Avantasia”
El proyecto del músico y compositor alemán Tobias Sammet (Edguy) llamado “Avantasia”, que fusiona el power metal, la ópera rock y por supuesto, el heavy metal, pero del más clásico, nace en el año 2000, y cómo dato curioso se puede decir, que lleva por nombre “Avantasia” debido a la unión de dos palabras clave: Ávalon y Fantasía, es decir, un mundo más allá de la imaginación humana. Es por ello, que Tobias Sammet llama a su creación Disney metal, debido al sinfín de historias fantasiosas que cuenta a lo largo de sus producciones discográficas, una muy diferente a la anterior.
Este es el caso de su obra “A Paranormal Evening with the Moonflower Society” lanzada el 21 de octubre del 2022, bajo el sello discográfico Nuclear Blast, en dónde Tobias Sammet y Sacha Paeth son los productores de este material discográfico y tiene unos invitados muy interesantes dentro de los 11 tracks que componen el álbum, por ejemplo: Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear), Floor Jansen (Nightwish), Michael Kiske (Helloween), Jorn Lande (Jorn), Ronnie Atkins (Pretty Maids /Nordic Union), Bob Catley (Magnum), Eric Martin (Mr.Big), Geoff Tate (Operation Mindcrime), Herbie Langhans (Firewind), entre otros.
Con este álbum se presentó Tobias Sammet y compañía, el pasado 6 de mayo del 2023, en el Auditorio Blackberry de la Ciudad de México en punto de las 8:30 pm con un escenario sencillo, pero con una gran pantalla que proyectaba el recorrido discográfico de la banda en cada interpretación; tocaron clásicos y material nuevo que sin duda fue un setlist enfocado a lo que ha tenido más éxito durante la trayectoria de Avantasia como son: Reach Out for the Light, Dying for an Angel, The Story Ain´t Over, Angel of Babylon (un estreno en México, ya que fue la primera vez que la tocaron en vivo), The Scarecrow, Promised Land, Farewell, Lost in Space. Que fueron las más aclamadas de toda la velada.
Evidentemente, hizo falta el vikingo noruego Jorn Lande, ya que sus intervenciones fueron interpretadas por Ralf Scheepers (una voz qué marcó la diferencia), Ronnie Atkins y Herbie Langhans, pero había ese hueco y Tobias Sammet se dio cuenta de ello, al decir en público, que hay varias canciones que no se tocarían porque faltaba un integrante muy importante, haciendo alusión al esperado Jorn Lande.
Por otra parte, fue un buen concierto, pero no el mejor de la banda, se notó la entrega de cada integrante de principio a fin, fueron 2 horas y media sin parar, pero al mismo tiempo, se notaba que la altitud de la Ciudad de México hizo estragos en su interpretación, cuestión qué corroboró Tobias Sammet, en repetidas ocasiones a junto a Eric Martin de Mr. Big. Ellos comentaron la audiencia que era muy complicado llegar a sus rangos vocales de costumbre debido a este efecto, y que cualquier error sería justificado por esta causa, ¿será eso o es la edad? lo dejo a su criterio.
Esta cuestión me hizo reflexionar si fue de mal gusto ese tipo de comentarios, ya que todo artista procura adaptarse a las condiciones del país que visita.
También hay que recalcar que el concierto no fue nada barato ($990 pesos por persona) para la escena Underground que lo apoya desde hace muchos años. Por ello, considero que esos comentarios estuvieron fuera de lugar, ya que deben ser dichos tras bambalinas, por ser un evento esperado por muchos.
Ese tipo de justificaciones que vienen directo del artista hacia su público, restan seriedad a su actuación. Generando un concierto con matices agridulces. Espero que en futuros conciertos Tobias Sammet y compañía cuenten con las condiciones adecuadas de ventilación tanto para ellos como para la audiencia.
Por último, fue una lástima que ciertas voces no estuvieran presentes en esta fecha para contar con un setlist más exclusivo para los seguidores de culto, y así evitar que se note “la vieja confiable” y el “se hizo lo que se pudo con lo que se tenía”, cómo fue el caso de Avantasia, versión 2023.
En conclusión, en sus presentaciones anteriores en la Ciudad de México, cómo ustedes han leído en mis reseñas pasadas, he tenido una mejor experiencia con la banda, pero en esta ocasión, lamentablemente no fue lo que se esperaba.
Setlist del tour “A Paranormal Evening with Tobias Sammet´s Avantasia 2023”:
1. Twisted Mind
2. Reach Out for the Light (Ralf Scheepers)
3. The Wicked Rule the Night (Ralf Scheepers)

Friday, December 16: Queensrÿche, “Resistance”
In composition, sound and approach, “Resistance” was a logical continuation of Operation: Mindcrime that only deviated by presenting the more upbeat worldview that Queensrÿche was generally aiming for on Empire. Positive outlook aside, the track had the stinging Michael Wilton leads and thunderously busy Scott Rockenfield percussion that powered “Speak” and “Spreading the Disease” and was one of a handful of unrepentantly metallic tracks on the band’s fourth album. And although Geoff Tate’s wailing was a bit hammier than usual (which was really saying something), it brought the requisite drama to a song about the virtues of activism and for a little while longer successfully positioned him as one of the more thoughtful voices in metal. At the same time, “Resistance” was very much an early ‘90s metal tune, bearing the usual Queensrÿche hallmarks while nodding to greater accessibility via the harmony vocals and clear throughline, and was the sort of deep cut that the band could use as a concert opener that introduced Empire’s concept and the band’s presentation at the time.

"Rage For Order" is one of the greatest prog albums of all time! I believe it can only be matched (or topped) by Queensryche's own "Operation Mindcrime". I'm never disappointed with Chris DeGarmo's musical experimentation and composition structuring, or Geoff Tate's writing and vocal genius. His incredible range, power, and control is unmatched in any age or genre.

@ragingmanrabbit: “Oh yeah, I'm pretty happy with the new Conception. Raven & Pig is a strange choice of opener, but overall good stuff. I have similar feelings about the new Psychotic Waltz: not terribly surprising, but enjoyable, a natural progression from earlier, and pretty much what I'd hoped for. Now if my vinyl for the Conception will ever show up that'd be great.“
And that was one of the songs that engendered some of the weird takes. I get the sense people think it’s repetitive ‘cause it’s just the same riff over and over again, and upon hearing it, all I could think is, “but there’s a few other riffs in there, too! The song changes! What the hell, guys!”
I also like the one guy lamenting that it’s awful and also not metal at all just like the EP. And I’m thinking, “Pretty sure My Dark Symphony was fairly non-metal, since that was even my sense of its sound, so I’ll give you that one although I don’t think it reflects in any way on its quality. This one’s got heavy guitar everywhere from the start, so it’s decidedly metal-ler.”
My early favorite is “By the Blues”. To me, it sounds like the sort of song Geoff Tate’s been trying to write for a solid decade and continuously failing to do. Mostly because Khan and the boys write good melodies you want to hear, including an actual chorus which goes somewhere and feels like it does. Plus they have tight performances and on-target songwriting.
I know that sounds counterproductive for my point, but my issue with late Tate isn’t that I dislike the genres and styles he’s trying to work in. A quick glance through my public listening history will attest to that. It’s that he’s a gigantic jackass who can’t turn out vocal melodies worth a fifth of a half-eaten shit and produces sloppy, joyless, half-ass albums dripping with indifference and contempt. So he doesn’t even have the talent he used to have to provide a compelling reason to overlook the grotesquely swollen assheadedness.
(This reminds me/works with an old counterfactual I had where Tate left after Hear in the Now Frontier while DeGarmo stayed, and a post-Flow Khan was his replacement.)
The Psychotic Waltz album I have but still haven’t heard. Perhaps this is the week. Been making some efforts to listen to more music from this year the last couple of weeks.

My personal highlights of Avantasia’s Berlin gig on April 3rd 2019
Sascha and Oliver being a goddamn cuties and coming to say hi to the fans before the concert
Me finally getting to the first row!!!!!!!
Tobi all active on stage and looking well rested
Out of all three times that I’ve seen Tobi, this time his vocals sounded the best
Tobi’s, Ronnie’s, Eric’s, Herbie’s and Adrienne’s stage outfits ♥♥♥
Adrienne’s growling during the Book of shallows
Tobi’s posing fot the photographer every time he’d come to my side. Gods bless the photographer choosing our side. I totally enjoyed seeing Tobi doing all sorts of poses.
Tobi smiling so much throughout the whole concert and laughing at stupid jokes and things. (this made me feel all sorts of good things)
Tobi’s dance moves. They never get old, no matter how many times I’ve seen them
Tobi and his mic stand
Tobi making eye contacts with me every time he’d come to my side.
Bob noticing me. Can’t remember which song it was, but I was like singing along n stuff and he was like “Oh hello darling!”. I smiled or smth, I can’t remember now and then he was like “I like this girl”. And I pretty much died
Tobi and Eric singing Maniac.
Eric just being himself
INVINCIBLE with Geoff Tate. He killed the song and I was basically crying
During Farewell (I think), Tobi was at my side and I showing a heart and he noticed it, pointed at me and sang to me for like a minute or so. I can’t get over this and I thought my heart will explode
Mystery of a blood red rose and Tobi playing with a crowd, that was fun
Every time Sascha would come to my side he’d smile at me.
Sascha throwing me his guitar pick (and me catching it) in the very end of a concert
After a concert meeting Ronnie and getting at least an autograph.
Also meeting Eric and having a picture with him, his autograph and hugging him. Also he stayed a bit to talk to the rest of us waiting. He was so cute and funny omggg.
#Avantasia#Tobias Sammet#Moonglow tour#I'm not talking about negative things because there were some#but woah#and out of two times I've seen Avantasia#this was one definitely the best#I'm just a little bit salty at myself for being an ass and not being quicker bc if I would have then I would've met Tobi and Geoff#i'm so not over this concert#damnn#I'll post some pics and vids later tho#memories#highlights#concert highlights#Tobi#♥#mine

The Best Good Parts of Moonglow
As according to me
(This was the first one of these I wrote but I’m updating it to match the format of the others.)
Hey-ho, it’s Moonglow - the latest (and some may say greatest) in the catalogue of charisma that is Avantasia.
Storyline: Cast into a world of light, a lonely Homunculus tries to understand love and beauty, but always comes back to the comfort of the night and the moon.
Quick Notes:
We’re back to vaguery with the storyline this time, to the extent that there is no character list to accompany the cast (that I can find, anyways!)
This is the beginning of a two-parter, though most info on the second part is TBA.
Stream the entire thing on Youtube or Spotify!... Or else! :D
Ghost in the Moon
The literal first seconds of the song
when the choir comes in like DAAAARK FRAME A FIIIIRE
The first instrumental guitar thing (especially if you are on a train)
When the drums kick in at “tender loving all around”
Back *choir* ACROSS THE RUBICON
They...teach..YOU love... they make you beLOOOOOOOOOOONG
Asking, wondering/look at me/waiting, prompting (scream-crying cat dot jpg)
Rise from the smoke and the fire from maniacal dreams
Crucible born and unseen
MEGALOMANIACAL DREEEEAAM
MEGALOMANIACAL DREAAAAAAAAAAM
TO CHASE THE
GHOOOST
IN THE MOOONGLOOOOW *chorus goes nuts and so do I*
Book of Shallows
Rise above confusion...AND LEVERAGE THE WEAAAK
All the freakshow references being on brand for yours truly as usual
The time signature change at the end of the chorus
Sudden Jorn!
MAY IT CHARM THE LIVING... MAY IT EASE MISGIVING
SURPRISE THRASH METAL FUCK TOWN
M͚̯̤̳͉ͅͅIN̺͎̥͢E ͙̮͕́N̻͙OW͎̹̺̣̜ ̟S̤͍͓͖͎̹̮͘U̫͚̮͉Ḅ̵̻U͉̙R̗̯͇̻B͉͞I͎̲̻̦͕A̢ ̹T̸̪̥̳̹̱̪O̷̻͎͔ͅM̶̪̜̼̯O̺̼Ṟ̞̩̩R͈̟̥̟O̷̝̬̪̻͓W͢ ̟̺I͢T҉̩’͔͇̘͓̪͎S̬̰̲̫̘̘͟ ̵͓̞̻͉͓̯T҉̤̮̙̱̬̻̟H̗̗͍̝̦̼É̠̺͖͕̟̰̳ ̡̲N͚A̻͟T̸̳͍̬̰̱ͅͅI͙͜O͏̗̪̩̖̣̬̱O̙͙ON̷͔͔
Moonglow
In this...enchanted...magic night
This song is generally just nice it wasn’t surprising but it was nice
I like how the music video is clearly tobi standing in front of a green screen with no idea of what they will put on it in post
The Raven Child
This was the album’s first single. It’s 11 minutes long. That one was a funny conversation, so I hear.
The ENTIRE intro but especially
HoooOooOooOooOOOOoooome
Spectres FLAIR and SPIT AND RISE... TO MINGLE WITH THE SKIES... AND TAKE ALL THAT’S NEVER MEANT TO BE
Jorn’s entrance
THE TOLLING OF THE BELL, NOW CAN ANYBODY TELL. ME.
Jorn’s run at the chorus
The intro melody reprisal from “Light breeze in the crowns of the willows...” on until...
COMIN DOWN GOING ALL THE WAY NOW *BRASS BLARTS*
Jorn Scarecrow callback run
OHHHHH
FIERY EYES
Starlight
Literally whenever Ronnie flicks between clean and rough vocals
“YEAH I’M GONNA STICK AROUND”
If only I’D burn out bEFORE I’d HIT the GROUND
Orphan star... shine on me... 🥺
Invincible
Tinky dinky Danny Elfman bells solo
When Geoff really kicks in at “Shady recollections...”
The smoky quality to the instrumentals in the beginning verses
The first run at the chorus
The last run at the chorus
Horns!
Alchemy
When those crunchy guitars start up at the beginning and it sounds like you’re being seduced by a frankenstein
The melody at “Refusing to adjust yourself to the flow“ is dead sexy period
THEY WHO PAY THE PIPER
We’d never dare to lie to you / you’re just spared the part of truth
That doesn’t make... any sense to you....
Piper at the Gates of Dawn
That main guitar melody is a tasty tasty salmon colour
WHOOAAA OH, WHAAAA OH, WHOAAAH OH, WHOAAAH OOOA OHHHHH
Eric appears!
The entire vocalist tradeoff that starts at 3:41
“Get me outta here / take me away” 🥺 🥺
Lavender
Weird theramin-sounding intro
The violin synth drop-in in the first verse
The chorus just every time
But especially when it changes to “wish I didn’t have to see now / what back then I didn’t see” crying cat jpg again
The plinky plonky guitar thing after the first chorus
THE CRAZY PART AINT DREAMING / WISHING ON A FALLING STAR
Requiem for a Dream
WHOA OH.
WHOA OH
FEEL THE COLD BREEZE IN YOUR FACE
That JUICY, JUICY bass solo
Kiske can definitely speak to whales
Maniac
It’s Tobi Sammet and Eric Martin doing a Michael Sembello cover. the whole thing owns
but also they need to do the flashdance water bucket thing
(no I don’t care that that’s the wrong song. make it happen)
Bonus Track: Heart
It’s the emotions
Many have said it before but this could easily pass as a real Journey song
The vocal layering in the chorus is super cool
“I tried to run forevermore...in a LOOOOONELY charaaade”
an honourable mention goes to literally every other part of every song.
Cast List:
Tobias Sammet as ??? Jorn Lande as ??? Ronnie Atkins as ??? Geoff Tate as ??? Bob Catley as ??? Eric Martin as ??? Michael Kiske as ??? Candice Night as ??? Hansi Kursch as ??? Mille Petrozza as ???
...and I just want to give an additional shoutout to Adrienne Cowan, Ina Morgan and Herbie Laghans, who KILLED the live performances for the Moonglow world tour.
