ECHOTERRA: New Album Update

January 29, 2011

ECHOTERRA — the new female-fronted symphonic rock/metal band featuring vocalist Melissa Ferlaak (VISIONS OF ATLANTIS),keyboardist Jonah Weingarten (PYRAMAZE),guitarist Yan Leviathan (AVIAN),bassist Brian Hollenbeck and drummer Adam Sagan (INTO ETERNITY) — has issued the following update:

"We are currently hard at work on our next album which will be released this summer. As of now, the drums, bass, and keyboards are all recorded and we are now working on the guitars. Once we are finished with that, we will begin vocal recordings. We will then begin the mixing and mastering process and hope to have the album completed by May.

"We have posted a clip of one of the songs [below] and we will post more clips on a regular basis. We are also working on completing the artwork which is taking shape quite nicely.

"The new album will be available as a physical CD and in digital format. The CD will feature a 16-page booklet with lyrics and additional artwork. We will announce the title in the near future as well as preview the artwork so stay tuned!"

New ECHOTERRA song snippet (audio):

ECHOTERRA made its live debut on February 6, 2010 as the support act for EPICA, THREAT SIGNAL and BLACKGUARD.

ECHOTERRA's latest EP, "In Your Eyes" features Ferlaak on the three re-recorded songs from the band's debut CD — "In Your Eyes", "A Tear of Her Heart" and "Say, Try, Lie, Die". The EP also includes an orchestral version of "Bear Mountain", a song that will be featured on ECHOTERRA's next full-length album. "The Echoterra Overture".

ECHOTERRA in 2009 parted ways with singer Suvi Virtanen for the sole reason that she is located in Sweden while the rest of the band is located in the U.S., which makes it very difficult to perform live.

ECHOTERRA's debut album, "The Law Of One", was released on September 15, 2009 via Blinding Force Recordings.
