WONDERS present new artwork!

This is the artwork of the new WONDERS album “Beyond The Mirage” (release date June 16th, 2023).

Working duties on the band’s second record were strictly shared: Pietro Paolo Lunesu (Even Flow) delivered songwriting and guitar play, Marco Pastorino (Temperance) laid down excellent mid-range lead vocals, and Bob Katsionis (ex-Firewind) orchestrated a multi-tasking job, playing the keyboards, arranging songs, and managing the studio production. On top of all that the Greek power metal conductor also created the album’s cover artwork.

“The meaning of the cover of ’Beyond The Mirage’ is to believe in oneself, to push one’s limits towards another dimension, but also to dedicate yourself to a common goal with other people”, says Pietro Paolo.

Melodic Power Metallers WONDERS release new album

After „The Fragments of Wonder”, WONDERS’ 2021 debut album, enlightened our world with outstanding, sensational pieces of work, we are happy to announce the successor “Beyond The Mirage” to be released soon on LIMB MUSIC! The new album brings back powerful anthems, skillful guitar play, progressive patterns, and a great voice.

Pietro sums up the ambitions of the second WONDERS record: “This time the idea has been to create an album even more powerful than the previous one, promoting the true and total powers of WONDERS. The new album is characterized by speed power metal songs with guitars, keyboards, and drums playing a key role. Of course we did not put aside our AOR/melodic rock influences creating the mid tempo songs to highlight the melodies.”

The Line-Up is:
MARCO PASTORINO – vocals (Temperance, Cristiano Filippini’s FLAMES OF HEAVEN, Virtual Symmetry, ex-Secret Sphere)
PIETRO PAOLO LUNESU – guitars (Even Flow)
LUCA NEGRO – bass (Temperance)
BOB KATSIONIS – keyboards (ex-Firewind, ex-Serious Black, ex-Revolution Renaissance, Outloud, Warrior Path, Stray Gods, Prydain)
GIORGIO LUNESU – drums (Even Flow)

PRYDAIN release artwork and tracklisting!

Following up our last weeks’ announcement, PRYDAIN’s debut album „The Gates of Aramore“ will be released on June 2, 2023.

You can expect ten Epic Power Metal songs with vibrating guitar duels, virtuoso keyboard parts, awesome vocals, driving grooves, catchy melodies – and a storyline consisting of an ancient kingdom beyond space and time.

Outstanding cover design by renowned artwork wizard Uwe Jarling (Heavens Gate, Roger Staffelbach, Grave Digger, Stray Dogs).

Guitarist and songwriter Austin Dixon says:
„I first discovered Uwe from the amazing cover art he did for the new Grave Digger album. I reached out to him to discuss ideas and he had this amazing piece he was working on with these knights battling and an epic dragon and it just seemed perfect for the feel I was going for with PRYDAIN.
I immediately began writing a song inspired by this cover art, which became the penultimate track on the album, ’Kingdom Fury‘. This song turned out so cool and tells the story of the cover art, so check that out if you’re interested!“.

Here’s the tracklisting:
01. Sword & Sorcery
02. The Gates of Aramore
03. Lands Beyond
04. Sail the Seas
05. Quest of the Fallen
06. Way of the Forest
07. Ancient Whispers
08. Blessed & Divine
09. Kingdom Fury
10. Magic & Mystery

The CD version will include an exclusive bonus track.
