Across the Seven Seas on CD

Artlantica features three of the most important driving forces behind Swiss-American cult act Artension in guitarist Roger Staffelbach, frontman John West and keyboardist Mistheria. In addition, Staffelbach and West (Artension, Royal Hunt) belonged to Artension (together with Vitalij Kuprij (now Trans-Siberian Orchestra), among others), and Mistheria has made a name for himself with his collaborations with Bruce Dickinson and Rob Rock. All three are without a doubt real masters of their trade who have combined their talents to present ten brilliant new songs. Staffelbach describes the result as "powerful, heavy occasionally majestic, grooving, melodious and timeless. Each instrument has it's place, none of them sound too dominant, and everything has only one purpose - to serve the song." a perfect description of Across the Seven Seas.
