ATLANTYCA is a brand new band dedicated to progressive metal. Their forthcoming debut album \u00ab To Nowhere and Beyond \u00bb comprises 9 original tunes.<\/p>\n
The project was initiated by Julien Putigny, a songwriter and guitarist based in Lyon, France, and his brother Maxime (bass). After years of playing the local club circuit of Lyon, the brothers started Atlantyca with the encouragement of top drummer Laurent Falso, who played with many French stars and progressive bands. The trio spent a lot of time in the studio, working constantly to develop their songs into demos. Their latest demo drew the attention of radio shows, Brennus Music and the Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes Regional Council who believed in this project. In September 2010, the band started to record its debut album, \u00ab To Nowhere and Beyond \u00bb.<\/p>\n
After listening to demos, world-class singers were ready for the adventure, coming from four countries : Edu Falaschi (Angra, Almah \u2013 Brazil), Paul Shortino (King Kobra, Quiet Riot, Rough Cutt – USA), Andy Kuntz (Vanden Plas, Abydos – Germany) and David Steele (a professional session singer who has recorded with Bon Jovi, M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce, The Cult and Def Leppard – Canada).<\/p>\n
The band says : \u00ab We decided to only work with musicians who were excited about our music and wanted to get involved emotionally as if it were their own. \u00bb What Andy Kuntz said to the band speaks for itself and sums up the whole process : \u00ab I was convinced about what I did [\u2026]. I\u2019m glad now and a little bit proud ! \u00bb.<\/p>\n
Clear and dynamic, the production perfectly fits the sound of the band. Atlantyca wanted to achieve an organic and natural sound, which is the only way to stand the test of time. There\u2019s no cheating on \u00ab To Nowhere and Beyond \u00bb. And the mastering was done by the great Andy VanDette (Rush, Porcupine Tree) at Masterdisk (NYC, USA).<\/p>\n
Concerning the lyrics, Atlantyca wanted to get away from the usual science fiction and fantasy concept. The songs are linked to the inner journey\u00a0 : the secret of life and existence can\u2019t be found by inspecting galaxies or watching supernovas. It lies deeper, Nowhere and Beyond .<\/p>\n
On this album, you won\u2019t find any compromises. The original compositions range from progressive tunes like \u00ab Standard Man \u00bb and \u00ab Underworlds \u00bb to rock anthems and catchy melodies like \u00ab Nowhere and Beyond \u00bb or \u00ab Beyond Inifinite \u00bb. \u00ab Eternity \u00bb and \u00ab My Road \u00bb are very emotional power ballads. The astonishing line-up of international top score singers gave the songs their trade.<\/p>\n
Follow the band \u00ab on a road to a nowhereland \u00bb<\/p>\n
We hope you\u2019ll enjoy the ride !<\/p>\n
