Visions Of Atlantis

[Georgiet]

I don't know if any one has heard of them or not but they are a great band. They formed in 2000 in Styria, Austria. The original line-up consisted of Werner Fiedler (guitar), Mike Koren (bass), Christian Stani (vocals), Chris Kamper (keyboard), Nicole Bogner (vocals) and Thomas Caser (drums). There inspiration came both from successful symphonic/power metal band Nightwish and from the myth of Atlantis. The equal combination of male and female vocals distinguishes VoA from Nightwish though and is more reminiscent of Lacuna Coil.2003 saw a change in line-up, replacing Christian Stani with Mario Plank and Chris Kamper with Miro Holly. Now with Napalm Records, VoA released their second album Cast Away in 2004. Since then a few more band members have left and joined. In 2005 Nicole Bogner was replaced by Melissa Ferlaak (formerly with Aesma Daeva) and Wolfgang Koch replaced Werner Fiedler. In 2006 Martin Harb, who already played with VoA on their tour in Mexico in 2003, replaced Miro Holly. A third album is expected to be released later this year. With half the band changed since their previous album, a change in musical if not thematical style is likely.

Current Line-Up
Melissa Ferlaak - Female Vocals
Mario Plank - Male Vocals
Martin Harb - Synthesizer
Wolfgang "Wops" Koch - Guitar

I happen to be a pretty decent fan of theirs, but none of my friends have yet to listen to me when I go on a rant about them. I think they're quite fun and worth seeking out of you've never heard them before.
