The ninth studio album from Tobias Sammet’s Avantasia, A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society, is released today via Nuclear Blast. To mark the occasion, Avantasia have released a new single, "Kill The Pain Away". Featuring Nightwish vocalist Floor Jansen, "Kill The Pain Away" is another impressive duet, that serves as a powerful and transportive piece of emphatic power metal.

Tobias Sammet comments: “When I was writing 'Kill The Pain Away' I immediately had Floor’s voice in my head. I basically wrote the song for her being my duet partner. The song may have an 80’s pop-touch for some and stylistically may also remind others of Nightwish, but in the end, it still sounds like Avantasia.”

A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society is presenting eleven magical and powerful songs featuring numerous prestigious guest stars. An adventure that captivates the audience with freshness, briskness, sophistication and enchantment. The album was produced by Tobias Sammet with Avantasia guitarist, Sascha Paeth. The cover art was created by Swedish illustrator Alexander Jansson.
