Bio:
Swedish rock band Art Nation release their highly anticipated debut album "Revolution". Playing concerts throughout the year, while recording the album simultaneously, shows that the band is truly "going all in". Art Nation was formed 2013 in Gothenburg, Sweden, after lead singer Alexander Strandell's departure from his former band Diamond Dawn. Strandell, already well known for his strong voice and energetic stage presence, decided to raise the bar, and gathered some of the best musicians available, bassist Simon Gudmundsson being the first, shortly followed by Theodor Hedström and Christoffer Borg. An acoustic single, "Moving On", was recorded, followed by power ballad "One Is Better Than No One", which also featured a music video and was released in collaboration with humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières), who named the song Official Charity Song of 2014, and all money generated from it was, and still is, donated directly to the organization. "One Is Better Than No One" was also the starting point of the band's collaboration with producer and engineer Jakob Herrmann (Raised Fist, Hardcore Superstar, Engel, etc). Art Nation spent the rest of 2014 playing shows, as well as guesting national TV and radio shows, further building their fan base and reputation. The band got its final line-up when adding second guitarist Johan Gustavsson, together with drummer Carl Tudén, who was recruited just after winning the Swedish Drum Championships. In early 2015, Art Nation signed a deal with German label AOR Heaven for their full-length debut album, titled "Revolution". The record was produced and recorded by Jakob Herrmann at Top Floor Studios,together with Christoffer Borg. "Revolution" consists of 12 songs, one being a completely remade version of their first single "Moving On". It also features the stripped down piano ballad "Look To The Sky", performed in one single take by Strandell and keyboardist Theodor Hedström. The album is mixed and mastered at Hansen Studios in Denmark by renowned mixing engineer Jacob Hansen (Amaranthe, Engel, Volbeat, etc).After releasing the debut album ”Revolution” in August 2015, Art Nation is rapidly becoming one of Europe’s most promising rock acts.Art Nation have played at a number of large Swedish music festivals and are already booked for a lot of shows in 2017 including Sweden Rock Festival.The second album, “Liberation” will be released in April 2017.The band was nominated in Gaffa magazine as “Breaktrought of the year 2015”, Powerplay Magazine nominated the debut album “the best album of 2015” and Classic Rock Magazine gave it 8/10. In July 2016, Art Nation performed “We are better together”, a song written specifically for the Gothia Cup opening ceremony, at Swedens biggest venue, Ullevi Arena, in front of an audience of 60.000.At the end of 2016, Gaffa Magazine nominated Art Nation as "Best live act of the year", competing with names such as Ghost and Zara Larsson.In January 2017 Art Nation performed "We are better together" at one of Europes biggest charity event, "We are one". The event was held at the Swedish national arena, Friends arena.
Album:
Powerhouse vocalist Alexander Strandell, guitarist Christoffer Borg and bassist Richard Svärd, in one word ART NATION, are back with a powerful new musical statement. Following the highly acclaimed “Inception”, the new “Chapter V: The Ascendance” delivers a Huge, anthemic, more modern melodic oriented album, powerful and energic.Frontiers Music Srl approached Alexander about working together on a new Art Nation album, following the release of Crowne debut album “Kings In The North” and after re-united with the guitarist Christoffer Borg, who started the band with Alexander in 2014, Art Nation have re-established that great musical spirit and chemistry that launched the band and they’re is back and better than ever. As Alexander stated following the signing with Frontiers to release “Inception” in 2023, explaining why the band went on a break in 2019 : "When Art Nation released our debut album "Revolution" in 2015, everything went extremely fast. Suddenly we were on tour, doing shows on some of the biggest stages in Sweden and walking the red carpet of the Grammy Awards. At the same time, we were navigating the difficulties of being a bunch of kids, playing in a band where no one had any experience of doing all the things that we were expected to do. I was totally broken and overwhelmed by all the anxiety that had built up from the pressure of trying too hard. After the release of "Liberation" in 2017, I could barely be on stage anymore without pain in my chest and I was so frustrated with being ill. During this period, I did things to my friends in the band that I deeply regret today” This break was necessary because I needed to heal myself and today I’m feeling stronger than ever. We're here to stay this. Let's make this next chapter of Art Nation, the best ever!" concludes Strandell.“Chapter V: The Ascendance” push more the pedal towards the modern heavy sound, without losing the typical Art Nation trademark with memorable melodies. Songs like “Halo”, “Thunderball” or “Unstoppable”, are perfect examples of what you can expect from the new album: an undeniably enjoyable sonic delight.
