melodicrockoz Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Diamond dawn released a gem in my books, just unsure why the vocalist needed to leave the band as I dont think the rest of the line up exists under the moniker.

Stefan Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 'Revolution' out August 28th on AOR Heaven. Pressrelease: 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). Tracks: 1. Need You To Understand2. 3000 Beats3. I want Out4. Number One5. Don't Wait For Salvation6. All The Way7. Start A Fire8. Moving On9. Here I Am10. Look To The Sky11. Wage War Against The World12.

Delbert Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Wow, that song is excellent. I can't remember the other ones being anywhere near that type of quality. Excellent stuff. Yep.......this upbeat track was right on. I really liked the unplugged "Movin On" track as well. Something about his voice is not "mainstream" which adds to the sound.
