Ethera by Visions Of Atlantis
5th Album from the Austrian Symphonic Metal Masters. The band revolving around the enchanting and strong-voiced frontlady Maxi Nil did not rest on their laurels after releasing their heir successful album "Delta" and playing numerous concerts (e.g. Wacken Open Air, Novarock, Masters of Rock). Instead, the musicians focused on the songwriting sessions for a new longplayer. The mystical title "Ethera" stands for an extraordinary and diverse Symphonic Metal masterpiece and presents the listeners with bombastic orchestral tracks as well as touching and dreamy ballads. The band is a master in capturing these different moods and thus creating a tightly arranged album, that offers a magical atmosphere from the first to the last song. It is important to point out that the vocal performance of Maxi Nil and Mario Plank sounds so harmonic and sweeping, just like they were singing together from the very beginnings of the band's career. "Ethera" is a mythical and bombastic journey into the heart of Atlantis!
