VISIONS OF ATLANTIS: New Singer Announcement Coming Next Week

January 23, 2009

Keyboardist Martin Harb of Austrian symphonic metallers VISIONS OF ATLANTIS has issued the following update:

"Within the next week we will present you the name and the face of our new female voice and bandmember! At the moment she's at the shooting for her first VISIONS OF ATLANTIS promotional pictures, which will be released on the homepage including her name and further information within the next week.

"From now on, we won't keep you updated not only by words but also we're planning to do a video blog from time to time where the guys and girl from VISIONS OF ATLANTIS can tell you the most important news about the recording process and all other VISIONS OF ATLANTIS-related stuff (and maybe also not just VISIONS OF ATLANTIS-related stuff) so that all of you can get the news right from us, from face to face. We're also planning a few other things for the homepage but more on that later, at first we'll gonne have some very important updates within next week! So be sure to check out the homepage or our MySpace site more often the next days!"

VISIONS OF ATLANTIS in 2007 parted ways with the group's Minnesota-based vocalist, Melissa Ferlaak, and her now-husband, guitarist Wolfgang "Wops" Koch, due to "musical differences." As a result, the band's previously announced participation in the KAMELOT European tour was cancelled. Koch has since been replaced by the returning guitarist Werner Fiedler, who was responsible for much of the songwriting on the group's first two records.

VISIONS OF ATLANTIS's latest album, "Trinity", was released in May 2007 via Napalm Records. The CD was recorded at Dreamscape Studios and was mastered at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland. The CD's cover artwork was created by Anthony Clarkson, who has previously worked with BLIND GUARDIAN, HYPOCRISY and EXODUS, among others.
