Frontiers Music Srl is excited to announce the return of TIMO TOLKKI’S AVALON with the release of the long awaited third chapter in his metal opera, “Return to Eden”!
Five years in the making, “Return to Eden” marks a new return for the legendary ex-Stratovarius guitarist and composer Timo Tolkki. Following a few personal issues which forced him to take a step back from the spotlight, Timo started the writing process for the new album and with the help of the Italian producer Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere), completed this outstanding comeback album. A convincing and inspired release, Timo's hunger to create is stronger than ever. As with previous releases, a slew of heavyweight guest vocalists were brought in to handle lead vocal duties. "Return To Eden" features appearances by renowned Dutch singer Anneke Van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering), Zak Stevens (ex-Savatage), Todd Michael Hall (Riot V), Mariangela Demurtas (Tristania, Ardours), and Eduard Hovinga (ex-Elegy).
"I would like to say… Tolkki is back!” exclaims Timo. "I feel that this is one of my best works to date and I believe the whole cast of singers and musicians truly went above and beyond the call of duty. We managed to create a really great record. I hope the fans will like it."

Andrea Buratto - Bass
Antonio Agate - Piano and Keyboards

It's so great to see Timo back in full force.

[@diegoignacio4923]

I imagine Todd Michael Hall singing old Stratovarius songs...it could be incredible to see him both touring together ;)

[@Karldin83]

Hehe, was wishfully imagining Black Diamond with mr Hall while watching this.

[@erlikquadros5873]

@@Karldin83 Father Time, Find Your Own Voice and other absurdly high songs would fit perfectly for Todd's voice!

[@diegoignacio4923]

@@Karldin83 Yes! but it could work, remember that Timo toured with Andre Matos when they formed Symfonia. I saw them and they played Dreamspace and 4th Reich, it was a blast!!

[@alexdetroy]

Great idea. I wish Timo will be able to tour with Todd Magical Hall?

[@nolituh]

Sound like a Finnish Avantasia seasoned with old Stratovarius, I really liked it! Good Job Timo! Respect for Frontiers Music not giving up on Timo too!

[@STORMBREAKER_250]

I mean Timo was on both of the Metal Operas...

[@21willyx21]

One must add, back when Avantasia still played melodic metal.

[@chillymilly6063]

Glorious. Todd nailed it

[@ManigoldoLostCanvas]

I have always believed in Timo Tolkki, he is not only the GOD power metal but also an excellent composer; in the golden days of the Stratovarius everyone got on the wagon of the winners, only to fall when the psyche conditions of Timo Tolkii were not optimal. This song is the best answer to the detractors of the great Tolkki and poleverizes them with all the power that emanates in a few moments; the same Stratovarius as excellent artists do not keep up without Tolkki's ideas and are just a shadow of the great band they were. Welcome back to King Tolkki.Thanks Frontiers for giving us back the legitimate power metal king.

2019 and Tolkki still is such a talented composer. His songs have a really unique touch in the power/melodic metal universe. I really pray that he can get better from his depression problems, get himself together; maybe get to a gym, and make a proper comeback in the showbusiness.

[@wolfdarkvoldemoort6529]

a return from the beyond? Tolkki was a power metal guitarist composer who reigned with his band in the late 90s sadly due mainly to health problems that I am not one to judge them fell into a musical coma that has lasted several years to Despite the fact that to a certain extent he has continued to make music but not at the level of his glorious years of the nineties ... .promises ,,, !! shows us that the giant ends has taken on a new air this gives signs of frank positive recovery this theme could go perfectly in infinity or even visions .. only the voice of kotipelto and the beast of the double drum, jorg michael to give another dimension to this good song there is no doubt this album promises and I am very happy for a musician who has given me many joys with his songs welcome back master tolkki ..
