| Band biography |
Myths, tales, and love stories are the passion of VISIONS OF ATLANTIS. The veil of mystery fuels the band’s fantasy and is the source of their inspiration.
Fascinated by the myth Atlantis, Werner Fiedler, Mike Koren, Christian Stani and Chris Kamper decided in August 2000 to work on a concept inspired by the enigmas surrounding Atlantis. Later that summer, Nicole Bogner joined the project and VISIONS OF ATLANTIS was born.
With the recording of their first three-song demo in December 2000 and their live premiere with Edenbridge, the young Austrians began their professional career. The reactions to their demo were tremendous and soon the offers began pouring in. In mid August 2001, the band signed a worldwide deal with the German label TTS Media Music/ Black Arrow Productions, subsequently releasing their debut, Eternal Endless Infinity, in the summer of 2002.
Once again, the reactions proved overwhelming and VISIONS OF ATLANTIS toured with Katatonia, Finntroll, Edenbridge, Nightwish, as well as performed at festivals throughout Europe, South Korea (International Rock Festival in Busan, in front of over 20,000 spectators), and Latin America.
In the summer of 2003, vocalist Mario Plank and keyboarder Miro Holly replaced Christian Stani (vocals) and Chris Kamper (keys) in time for the signing of a new recording contract with Napalm Records.
In July 2004 VoA played the Masters Of Rock Festivals in Slovakia and Czech Republic, sharing the stages with metal legends Europe, Stratovarius, Helloween, etc.
Visions Of Atlantis’ highly anticipated second album "Cast Away" was released on the 29th of November 2004. Simultaneously, Napalm Records re-released a remastered version of the band’s debut, "Eternal Endless Infinity", featuring new cover art.
