Track list: 1. The Fever, 2. Without You, 3. In Your Head, 4. Weathered Heart, 5. Human Touch, 6. Dare To Love, 7. Falling Out Of Love, 8. Early Warning, 9. We Are The Fire, 10. Beyond The Limit, 11. Here With You

“Parallel Love” is the second album by British Melodic Rock band ATLAS. Writing sessions for “Parallel Love” started shortly after the band’s 2019 tour with Midnite City and Age of Reflection, with the band spending much longer on the demo process than for their previous album, polishing their ideas through the autumn and winter of 2019. This resulted in 11 tracks that the band felt were more concise and stronger than previous efforts. The band chose to pursue a heavier edge for the album production, while staying true to their Melodic Rock and AOR roots. The album line-up consists of Craig Wells (Vocals), Howie Little (Guitar), James Thorley (Keyboards), Chris Redfearn (Bass) and Ryan Briggs (Drums). James Thorley took on the role of producer and recording engineer, with Christoffer Borg (Art Nation, Taste) once again taking over the role of mixing and mastering. The five-piece chose to work with AOR Heaven again for the world-wide release of “Parallel Love” due to the successful working relationship for their previous release “In Pursuit Of Memory”.

“Parallel Love” explores complicated and difficult themes in relationships that arenʼt often touched on in traditional AOR, while still exploring the highs and lows of what love brings to life. “Human Touch” showcases the physical side of love with no strings attached, while “Here With You” is a declaration of love lyrically and musically with the band showcasing a string ensemble for the album’s finale. These parallel themes are intended to tie the album together lyrically. “Weathered Heart” celebrates a new love after the turmoils of previous relationships, while “Falling Out Of Love” deals with pursuing love for the wrong reasons.

We've also released a new track "Weathered Heart' for those that have pre ordered the album from our band camp page (those who pre order now we also receive the download, and any future singles ahead of the album release)

Here is the link: https://atlasmusicuk.bandcamp.com/album/parallel-love


"Weathered Heart" was written shortly after we completed our debut album, and was often played live on our tours with Midnite City and Age of Reflection last autumn! We hope you enjoy it :)

This is very nice. Shame I missed the debut. Thanks @Stefan  for sharing.

Kudos to @JThorley for coming around and posting up stuff to support his band plus.

 

After a couple more spins of both songs in this thread, they are very infectious, well structured and I am certainly smitten by the  guitar tone and the tasty solo's.

    • Desperado was weak. Couple of ok songs, but that's it. Remember one album was unreleased and when it finally came out as a bootleg or whatever, expectations were not met. But that doesn't matter when what TS did was so killer.
    • I don't really know what this album is. Sounds a bit all over the place and to be completely fair, a whole lot less cohesive and/or structured than the AI album the dude put out earlier this year. Is it still a band, or just the main dude doing his own thing?  It's not a bad album, as such, just seems a bit all over the place to me in every regard. 
    • I'll trust you on that one. I only had the Desperado album for a short while so my memory of it is a bit rusty. Maybe that's why I parted ways with it, as it was more or less doubling up? I remember I got either a great trade or good sale out of it, hence why it departed quick. 
    • Desperado isn't heavier. A bunch of the songs were actually re-recorded for the first Widowmaker album. Desperado and the first Widowmaker are for me not that much different to Twisted Sister. Stand by for pain though was Dee trying to move into darker more "modern" territory, and can see why that would not appeal to everyone.  
    • Yep, pretty eclectic list, as usual. Not much stuff you'd find on the HH forums and if you did narrow it down to those ones it's basically Judas Priest, Russell/Guns, Bach and the Iron Maiden guys, innit? To each their own, but it's interesting...  I also thought it was pretty early to drop a list too.  
    • Wow, nice. I opened the thread trying to remember what was wrong with the last album. It was a really poor production job, wasn't it? Basically swallowed the songs entirely, if I recall correctly.  Well, they sure as all balls addressed that issue. This sounds huge. I'm absolutely all about it if we're due an album of gear like this. Love it. 
    • I didn't realise it was only on vinyl... that seems a bit silly, to be honest. I assume it'll reach other platforms, hopefully soon. 
    • Nah, doesn't ring a bell at all. Was she big in Australia too? I generally remember 80's artists that were big at the time... generally... 
    • Sounds like good fun. Might try and check out some of her stuff. That's a nice song. Reminds me of (a lot better version of) an Aussie 80's pop "band" called Indecent Obsession. 
    • Gave it a thumbs up? You sure he's selling the shrooms, and not taking the actual shit out of them?
