JEFF SCOTT SOTO, ECLIPSE Guitarist Join Forces In W.E.T.

September 25, 2009

Frontiers Records has set a November 6 European release date (November 24 in the U.S.) for the self-titled debut album from W.E.T. as a special CD/DVD package.

Featuring the immense talents of singer/songwriter Jeff Scott Soto (TALISMAN); guitarist/songwriter Erik Martensson (ECLIPSE) and keyboardist Robert Sall (WORK OF ART),"(W)ork of art (E)clipse (T)alisman" was written and recorded over the last 12 months and features the best elements of the three bands the principal artists have been involved in.

Commented Erik: "In the beginning it was just a project set up by Frontiers, but somewhere along the process of making it, it evolved into something greater than the project we had started with. We had a fantastic flow in the songwriting and when Jeff recorded his lead vocals it all fell into place."

Added Jeff: "I'm very excited about the W.E.T. project. What a brilliant idea of Frontiers to put the three of us together. I think the album turned even better than we hoped for and I can't wait to see the reactions from the melodic rock fans. I'm really proud of this record and I think a lot of people are gonna 'wet' there pants once they get to hear it!"

He continued, "I knew this was the kind of album a LOT of people wanted me to make so I am quite hopeful it will be amongst one of the biggest things I have done in my career thus far. I have never heard or felt such a buzz for something I am a part of and I couldn't be more proud with my 'brothers in arms,' Erik and Robert, for helping create what shall hopefully become a classic masterpiece."

Regarding the band's future plans, Jeff said, "I believe if it does well enough, we would be silly not to take it on the road. Possibly start with a few select dates to get our feet 'wet,' then see what time and schedules permit. The thing to remember here is we are of three separate and completely different careers that are all currently in motion but in my heart of hearts, I feel this is the beginning of something that will be around for a while, not just a one-off!"
