Angel of Babylon is the fifth full-length album by Tobias Sammet's rock opera project Avantasia, released on April 3, 2010, along with The Wicked Symphony. Angel Of Babylon was released both as part of a box set, with the two albums combined and as an individual album. It is the third and final part of "The Wicked Trilogy". All tracks written by Tobias Sammet, except "Symphony of Life", written by Sascha Paeth. Tobias Sammet - lead vocals, bass guitar, keyboards.
Sammet frankly improves with every album he puts out, and this new duo of albums is possibly the most advanced, creative work he has ever partaken in, at that. People can harp all they want about the Metal Opera albums, but they were child’s play compared to this. The Wicked Symphony is more dark and conceptual, with heavier songs and more tragic moments, whilst Angel of Babylon is lighter, more varied in tempo and carries a host of songs that seem to have nothing to do with each other. Hats off to Avantasia just for this alone; what a magnificent piece! The album also packs the wandering, spacey epic Stargazers, the traditional smash Your Love is Evil, the teeth-kicking duo of Rat Race and Down in the Dark, the hard rockin’ Alone I Remembe. here’s simply a lot of really enjoyable, fun songs on this thing!

Angel of babylon" is the fifth full-length album by Tobias Sammet's rock opera project AVANTASIA, released in 2010. This double album focuses on epic, symphonic and bombastic power metal. It continues right where "Wicked symphony" leaves off and gives you yet another whole hour of over- the- top, melodramatic metal goodness.
