Avalon was formed in 1995 by Grant Cunningham, A&R Director at Sparrow Records. Cunningham was in search of a vocalist group that could sing tight harmonies and carry God’s message to the world. Cunningham publicized his intentions and demo tapes flooded him, but nothing fit his desires.
After letting the idea of Avalon to rest a while, Cunningham visited a coffee shop to listen to a potential singer. However, another artist, Michael Passons, actually caught his attention. Cunningham contacted Passons about his plan for Avalon. Passons prayed about God’s will and then decided this was where God was leading him.

I looking for the english psytrance act Avalon ... he released 1 album and 3 EPs on Nano Records (South Africa) Would be nice the different acts with the same name to separate out. Its very confusing momentary. P.S.: a message to all Nazis on last.fm --> FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we should get all 12 Avalons into one recording session together. Assuming they didn't kill each other first, the end result would probably be some genre-bending fun. [3] GDSKLSAF

AVALON (isr) the post-rock band is great. Both CD's, Mountains Into Sand and Silver...White. Mountains Into Sand is a top song ! White too. Don't know about the other artists, may be "really good singers", but not really interested. Hey last.fm people ... it's a bit tricky putting those Avalon (Isr) songs inbetween the others, no ? See there's couple of other people with same remark. Why don't you guys try to make an Avalon (Isr) and an Avalon (Metal) and others too. So we all folks be happy. Thanks!
