Artension
"Sacred Pathways"
|
Artension is a progressive metal band made of up five very talented and well trained musicians: Vitalij Kuprij (Ring Of Fire) on keyboards, Kevin Chown (Magnitude 9, Tiles) on bass, Mike Terrana (Rage, Axel Rudi Pell) on drums, John West (Royal Hunt) on vocals and Roger Staffelbach on guitar. In 1996 Artension released their first album "Into The Eye Of The Storm" which got amazing responses from both the public and critics, especially in Japan. More records followed: "Phoenix Rising"; "The Forces Of Nature" and "Machine". Eventually, the band members started to do a lot of different things in order to explore the world of music even further, and it was many years before the members of the original lineup were finally able to get together again. This immediately interested Italy's Frontiers Records, which had always admired the talent of these amazing musicians, and the end result is "Sacred Pathways", an intense and diverse album which showcases all the songwriting sides of this band: melody, intensity, technicality but above all, great songs and breathtaking performances.
