«Not all were born to do great things. Not all are worthy to be mentioned in the history books and their names to be repeated throughout eternity. But for a select few, those who are born under a guardian star, that very immortality is within reach.»
“Wötan: The Untold Story” is an upcoming Andres Guazzelli’s album, expected to see the light of day by 2025.

Wötan: The Untold Story is an ambitious 2-hour, 5-minute rock opera blending theatrical storytelling, cinematic sound effects, and off-screen dialogue. This immersive experience takes listeners on a powerful journey, capturing the dramatic rise and fall of Wötan and the tragic destiny of the Unghur kingdom.

More than an album, it’s a bold narrative that weaves epic battles, personal sacrifice, and mythical undertones into a gripping tale. With cinematic elements enhancing its vivid imagery, it invites listeners into a richly textured world.

Now reimagined as a rock opera, the work transforms Wötan’s story into a multi-sensory masterpiece, combining grandeur and raw emotion.

Its main plot follows the trials and tribulations of Wötan, a Germanic tribal warrior whose Achillean pursuit of eternal glory and immortality imperils his tribe’s survival, as the world he knows teeters on the brink of collapse.

The story, first conceived in 2004, is set primarily in continental Europe, focusing on the northern city of Aachen and the southeasternmost region of Bavaria around 783 AD during Charlemagne’s reign over the Frankish realms.

Aesthetically and musically wise, ‘Wötan’ draws inspiration from musicals and rock operas such as Les Miserábles, Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, Tommy, Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and from epic films such as Troy, King Arthur, Centurion and Lord of the Rings.

The physical release will be accompanied by a 400 pages long novel, which further explores details absent in the album and expands the Wötan universe. You can read a short snippet from the Chapter 34 of the novelization following the next link:
