Only 5,000 box sets will be made, each individually numbered.

"Avalon Live", the concert from The Wilbur Theatre in Boston, will air on Palladia November 16 (check local listings). A single-disc version in standard and Blu-ray of the concert will also be released December 18 and is available for pre-order at www.sullyernaavalon.com.

The seeds for "Avalon" were planted back when Erna was in pre-GODSMACK outfit STRIP MIND, discovering Australian world fusion band DEAD CAN DANCE's 1993 album "Into The Labyrinth". Their "eclectic, mystical, hand drumming" approach filtered into GODSMACK hits like "Voodoo" and "Serenity". From there, an organic process of assembling the right musicians began. Erna recruited DEAD CAN DANCE percussionist Niall Gregory and long time friend and blues vocalist Lisa Guyer, each of whom introduced the guitarists, keyboardists and cellists that would fill out "Avalon"'s diverse sound.
