OPERATIKA Recording Cover Of DIO's 'We Rock'

July 9, 2010

New Jersey-based symphonic/power metallers OPERATIKA are currently in the studio recording a cover of the DIO classic "We Rock". According to the band, "The cover was originally planned as a bonus track for our upcoming album, but due to the untimely passing of the great Ronnie James Dio, the cover will be released as a single and all proceeds will go towards cancer research. More details on this will be available shortly, but in the meantime, here is a video clip of this journey that we've documented so far [see below]."

OPERATIKA's debut album, "The Calling", was released in Europe in October 2008 through Scarlet Records. According to a press release, the album has been described as "the perfect combination of singer Slava Popova's harmonious operatic vocals, powerful guitar riffs and solos, melodic keyboard harmonies, intense bass (handled by Michael LePond of SYMPHONY X) and fierce drumming" — a "must-have for every fan of NIGHTWISH, STRATOVARIUS, HELLOWEEN, CHILDREN OF BODOM and PRIMAL FEAR."

OPERATIKA has previously shared the stage with such internationally renowned artists as NIGHTWISH, HELLOWEEN, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, TWISTED SISTER, STRATOVARIUS, SONATA ARCTICA, SEBASTIAN BACH and KAMELOT.

OPERATIKA's "Dreamworld" four-song EP came out in 2005.
