Into The Eye Of The Storm
Artension is centered around twenty-two year old Ukrainian keyboardist Vitalij Kuprij and Swiss guitarist Roger Staffelbach. On their debut, Into The Eye Of The Storm, incredible vocals by John West help create a progressive metal sound inspired by bands such as Rainbow and Dream Theater, complete with wailing solo trade-offs. Artension was born when Shrapenl label head Mike Varney evaluated a demo from Vitalij Kuprij and Roger Staffelbach (called Atlantis Rising) and decided to put them in a studio with John West, bassist Kevin Chown and drummer Mike Terrana, whom Varney had known from previous projects. The restul is a neo-classically inspired version of progressive metal on tracks such as "World Of Illusion", "The Key" and the title track.
