Altaria - Sign To Escape Music, New Album This Summer
Official press release
Finnish four-piece Altaria, known for its traditional but yet catchy heavy metal, has inked a new record deal with Escape Music. The new album "Unholy" will be released this summer.
Altaria's fourth longplayer "Unholy" introduces the fourth lead vocalist during their nine-year long career. Charismatic and multi-talented vocalist Marco Luponero has vaulted the band's stage presence up to a completely new level and participated in composing some of the hardest rocking Altaria material ever. Says drummer, band founder Tony S.: "For the first time ever the new songs have been written together as a band. All of us have contributed to the songwriting."
"Unholy" is more guitar-oriented and grooving harder, yet sounding a bit 'dirtier' than the previous Altaria works. But don't worry, we haven't forgotten the honest, melodic heavy rock Altaria is all about - the catchy choruses are still there."
"The recording, mixing and mastering of the album took almost half a year, so we want to thank our fans for the patience and offer a full song from "Unholy" available immediately after the album got its final touch. "Warrior" is groovy piece of heavy metal, served with a memorable chorus. The song is a true appetizer for the forthcoming album Unholy.", Tony S. explains.
The new song "Warrior" can be listened to at Altaria's MySpace page or downloaded from their website.
The fourth album of Altaria, "Unholy", will be released during this summer via Escape Music. Earlier Altaria albums, including a compilation album "Divine Invitation", were released by German label Metal Heaven. Altaria has toured excessively in Finland and all over Europe with fellow Finns Sonata Arctica and German ever-young Metal Lady, Doro.

Yeah no Band is the same after Jani leaves, but aside from the album artwork, the music is really good, I can learn to love this heavier Altaria
