Avantasia's album, The Mystery Of Time A Rock Epic, is a masterpiece that showcases the band's musical prowess and storytelling abilities. The album is a concept album that tells a tale of a mysterious clockmaker who creates a time machine, and the adventures that follow. The album features an array of talented musicians, including Michael Kiske, Joe Lynn Turner, and Eric Martin, who lend their voices to the various characters in the story.
