Content Introduction Visions of Atlantis, the Austrian band featuring Thomas Kather (drums), CEO of Napalm Records, and male and female vocals, has released their new album! Titled after a passage from The Lord of the Rings, their seventh album, "Wanderers," sees their dramatic, symphonic, elegant, and dynamic lyrical sound reach new heights?c! Formed in Austria in 2000, Visions of Atlantis, the symphonic metal band that debuted with the album "ETERNAL ENDLESS INFINITY" in 2002, has undergone countless member changes. Currently, the only remaining original member is drummer Thomas Kather?initially formed by Thomas's close friends, it was literally an "Austrian band," but with each change in the lineup, talented individuals from various countries were added, eventually becoming a multinational band. However, their dramatic, lyrical sound has remained largely unchanged since their debut. "Epic," "romantic," "mysterious," "dark," "powerful," "emotional," "intimate," "passionate," "exotic," "melodic," "poetic," "fantastic"... their sound always incorporates all the dramatic elements of hard rock/heavy metal. The current lineup consists of Thomas [Ds], Cl?mentine Delaunay [Vo], Michele Guaitri [Vo], Christian Duha [G], and Herbert Gross [B]. Cl?mentine, formerly of WHYZDOM and SERENITY and currently of EXIT EDEN, is from France, while Michele, who has also been in KALEDON and TEMPERANCE, is from Italy. In the past, they have also featured American and Greek singers. Visions of Atlantis originally aimed to emulate Nightwish, but it's worth noting that they have regular male and female clean vocalists, and they stick to a melodic hard rock/heavy metal style without becoming overly gothic or progressive, and without relying on growls or screams. Since their second album, "CAST AWAY" ('04), they have continued to release albums such as "TRINITY" ('07), "DELTA" ('11), "ETHERA" ('13), and "THE DEEP & THE DARK" ('18), and while they have tried to incorporate elements of melodic death metal and nu-metal at times, their core direction has never wavered. Having just released their first live album, "The Deep and the Dark Live ~ Symphonic Metal Nights," this February, they have already completed their new studio album, "Wanderers," following "THE DEEP & THE DARK." The title of this seventh album is taken from a line in a poem from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings": "Not all those who wander are lost." This "Aragorn's poem" begins with "All that is gold does not glitter" and ends with "The crownless again shall be king"?essentially a wise saying that everyone should keep in mind: "Don't be fooled by appearances." The latest album, "The Wanderers," is their most melodic, noble, and elegant work to date. The Japanese edition will include two bonus tracks common to the international edition, plus one bonus track exclusive to Japan.
