INTERNATIONAL
POWERHOUSE ROCK GROUP W.E.T.
TO RELEASE SOPHOMORE
ALBUM "RISE UP" IN NORTH AMERICA FEBRUARY 26TH VIA
FRONTIERS RECORDS
(New
York, NY) Frontiers Records is excited to announce
the release of the new studio album from international rock group W.E.T.;
their sophomore effort RISE UP will hit streets in North America on February 26th.
W.E.T. is the union (and corresponding acronym) of some of the world's
most accomplished musicians. W.E.T. is Robert Säll ("W"
= the keyboardist/guitarist from Swedish melodic rockers Work of Art), Erik
Mårtensson ("E" = from Swedish pop-metallers Eclipse; Mårtensson
plays guitars, bass, keyboards and lends vocals) and Jeff Scott Soto ("T"
= from Talisman, the highly-celebrated American vocalist, also known for his
work with Yngwie Malmsteen, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Journey), along with
members Magnus Henriksson (guitars) and Robban Bäck (drums), also from
Eclipse. W.E.T.'s self-titled debut album in 2009 was one of the
rare occasions when a band created by the vision of Frontiers Records
President/Founder Serafino Perugino managed to create such a wave of enthusiasm
and interest from fans and the media alike that it went beyond the band's own
expectations. Click here to download cover art for RISE UP and see below for
the album's track listing.
Jeff Scott Soto commented, "To me this album
sounds more like a band versus the first album. The first album was great
as it had a lot of great songs, but this one has great songs and a band personality
which shows growth as far as I'm concerned." Erik Mårtensson added,
"We took what we all loved about the first album and built the songwriting
and sound from that. We wanted to give the band more of an identity and tried
to find 'our' own sound. I really think we achieved it with this album.
It's melodic rock for a new century!" RISE UP's release will be
preceded by the first single from the album, "Learn to Live Again" on
December 17th, which features for the first time ever a vocal duet
between Mårtensson and Soto. The new songs will be showcased live for the
first time at a special show at the Debaser club in Stockholm, Sweden on
January 17th. An audio sample of "Learn To Love
Again" can be heard here. Please click here to download the single cover.
