Vision Divine - Sign With Frontiers Records, New Album Details
Frontiers Records press release
Frontiers Records is excited to announce the signing for a multi album deal of the mighty Vision Divine, Italy's Melodic Metal Finest. The new cooperation will bring the first fruits with the release of the band's brand new studio album "9 Degrees West Of The Moon" on January 23rd 2009.
Born as a side project of the esteemed guitarist and songwriter of Labyrinth, Olaf Thorsen, to keep his working relationship with Fabio Lione (former Labyrinth vocalist who had moved on to Rhapsody Of Fire) Vision Divine evolved during the years in a real band who released 5 acclaimed studio albums, one DVD and toured several times in Japan, South and North America and played in several European countries.
The new album is particularly important in the history of the band as it marks the return of Fabio Lione on lead vocals, after Thorsen's decision to say goodbye to Michele Luppi in June 2008. "Fabio's return is like going back to square one for us", comments the band's creative mastermind Olaf "However Vision Divine is a band that did always move forward and I think that with his voice and interpretation he has enriched the songs and gave them a very peculiar and personal edge. I am truly enthusiast of his return in the band and look forward to bring this record out there with his amazing vocal abilities". Vision Divine line-up is completed by Alessio Lucatti on keyboards, Cristiano Bertocchi (ex-Labyrinth) on bass, Federico Puleri on guitar and Alessandro Bissa on drums.
Produced by none other than the former Stratovarius mainman Timo Tolkki, Vision Divine created what is easily their most mature and intense record to date. Entitled "9 Degrees West Of The Moon", this is Vision Divine 's heaviest, but yet most melodic and catchy album ever, showing why they are now the number 1 band in the Italian Metal scene. "Melodies are the most important element of our music. However our songwriting is very diverse" explains Olaf, who adds "all the songs have very different atmospheres and can go from melodic songs like "Violet Loneliness" to very aggressive and heavy ones. I think there is something for everyone on this record".
Vision Divine are also working hard on putting up a new World Tour which will bring the band to play again in Asia, South America and possibly Europe outside their homeland Italy. "9 Degrees West Of The Moon" is a fantastic journey that fans will consider as the true Vision Divine career defining statement!"

Vision Divine - Former Vocalist Returns
Italian metallers Vision Divine have issued the following update:
"We are very happy and proud to finally announce that Fabio Lione [Rhapsody Of Fire] joins Vision Divine Family again. He's best natural choice for us, and first person we thought about it, even 'cause Fabio is a wonderful singer and a very special friend. Fabio with Olaf [guitars] created Vision Divine 10 years ago, he wrote wonderful melodies for first 3 band's albums (from the 1st "Vision Divine" up to the high acclaimed "Stream Of Consciousness"). Just to be clear, Fabio is fully involved with the band, not as session man but as real part of the band, including recording sessions, live shows and tours.
We really like to apologize with you to taking such a longtime to let you know our choice, but we wanted to follow all this stuff properly without any gaps and taking time to plan band's future. So, Fabio Lione, will be on stage with Vision Divine starting from June 20 and he's already working to our new album, which recordings are scheduled starting from Aug 11th. We know that each time this band has a change of line up there many roumors about it and mostly people could think if its' right decision or something like that... But as always we will let facts talk, and our band life gets proof that we allways try to take best decision to grow up as artists and as persons. And at last.. we really like to spend some words for you guys who supported us in this time, we're very striking about your emotions and your great friendship around the world. We really like to dedicate our new album to you who continue to trust in Vision Divine."

"Due to a big problem related with his tendinitis, Federico Puleri isunable to follow the band on the South American Tour. The problem
was known since the Asian shows, but the band decided to try anything possible to solve it.

Vision Divine - S. American Tour Cancelled
Italian melodic power metallers Vision Divine, the brainchild of ex-Labyrinth mastermind Olaf Thörsen, have posted the following message on their official web site :
"We are sorry and shocked for what just happened. Without any [notice], and even worse, after many promises from third parties who were managing the tour, we discovered just now, once arrived in the USA, that the Latin tour won't take place because of too many problems with flight tickets and many other things that are even impossible to be explained. We are simply shocked and surprised by seeing how things have been managed. We feel ripped off as surely should feel those who already bought tickets to our shows. We are also gonna sue somebody for what happened, but this won't change the mess.
"In many years of career we never got into something like this, and there are not so many words we can tell right now. We will play ProgPower fest, which [proved] to be a completely professional situation where everything turned out to be exactly as planned, and then we will go back to Italy, as there is no way at all to make the rest of the shows take place, not even after some telephone callw we had in which we tried to do our best as band in order to make things go on. We really pushed to make shows not being cancelled, and we were also disposed to renounce too many things originally promised. We even offered to pay hotels by ourselves just to respect all those people waiting for us and to give a chance to those who were not responsible about this to go on, but no way. [The] promoter totally disappeared, and once we arrived in the USA, we also found that there are no flight tickets ready to bring us to the rest of the countries.
"Sorry once again, that's all we can tell right now. Whining or complaining won't make things change, unfortunately."
