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).
Album:
That were sad news when Swedes melodic rockers Diamond Dawn decided to split after their great, only album. But frontman Alexander Strandell pick up the flag and formed ART NATION, which debut CD "Revolution" is about to appear in a few days via AOR Heaven Records.When Diamond Dawn disbanded, Strandell soon joined guitarist Christoffer Borg from Swedish AOR band Taste to create a new project, and in late 2013 ART NATION born. Christoffer is a John Norum kind of guitarist with both feel energy in his playing.After several shows and a couple of singles, in early 2015, ART NATION signed a deal with German label AOR Heaven for their full-length debut album, which was produced and recorded by Jakob Herrmann (Hardcore Superstar) at Top Floor Studios, together with Christoffer Borg."Revolution" could best be described as a Melodic Rock album that presents equal doses of Scandianvian AOR and classic hard rock.First song 'Need You To Understand' delivers an energetic start with a blistering solo before making room for the meaty verse. A great opener that shows what ART NATION are all about.Second track '3000 Beats' is harder, and reminds me very much of Eclipse, where Alex really shows all of his vocal capacity and the song itself is one of my favorites on the CD. But I must tell you to pick favorites from this one is really hard, as the entire album is plenty of memorable moments.'I Want Out' is pretty much Diamond Dawn, so if tou loved their brand of punchy melodic rock you'll embrace this with open arms. Drummer Carl Tudèn gets to show his skills here with his imaginative way of playing building up for a neat keyboard solo by Hedström.'Don’t Wait For Salvation' is another personal favorite where AOR meets powerful Hard with a stadium feel and a sing along chorus. The guitar solo makes you think John Norum's solo album Total Control.'Start A Fire' has that lovable Scandi keyboards all over and very melodious vocals, pumped as well by a fat bass line.Those are just a few highlights in a brilliant album full of them. ART NATION has recorded a great debut in "Revolution", with all the ingredients to make the fans of the genre rejoice.The guys easily blend Melodic Rock, AOR and Hard Rock (all with a typical Scandinavian sound) into really well crafted songs.Immaculately produced, "Revolution" is a really good contender to any 2015 best of list.
