Asterise Announces New Album And Drops A Single
Multinational symphonic power metal band Asterise is pleased to announce its debut studio album, Two Worlds. According to the band, the album will be released on December 2, 2022. Besides the announcement of the album release, the band dropped a single, called Falling Stars.
Consisting of 9 tracks in total, the album’s cover was created by Natalia Nowacka. While Bartlomiej Mezynski played on guitars, bass lines, and wrote lyrics for the album, Jimmy Hedlund, Andi Kravljaca, and Mateusz Karmelita guested for solos. The album also featured Tristan Harders, Arnaud Menard, and Katharina Stahl as vocalists, while Slawomir Siwak played drums.
For the album, Bartlomiej Mezynski commented: “Asterise is not a typical Power, Speed Metal project. I wanted it to sound different, to take the listener on an emotional trip. Of course it still has fast guitar riffs, high vocals and amazing shred guitar solos – everything thanks to great guest appearances.
“The idea to have multiple vocalists on the album was heavily inspired by Avantasia. The lyrics on the other hand, by old Stratovarius albums. You will hear a lot of references to albums like Visions, Destiny or The Metal Opera 1&2. With everyone presenting different styles of singing and playing, we were able to create an interesting material that will be stuck in your mind for a long time.”
