They are definitely relatively obscure in America, but in the picture of the Metal Community worldwide, they are most certainly not. They're headlining Wacken next year, as they did in 2008.

Guess things are different in Buffalo.
Alot of metal bands like Avantasia and Nevermore are well known in places like Europe so I'm no surprised Avantasia is headlining Wacken.
