Former VISIONS OF ATLANTIS Singer Joins VOIDWORK

June 17, 2010

Singer Melissa Ferlaak (AESMA DAEVA, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS, ECHOTERRA) has joined VOIDWORK, the "dark, ambient" project featuring Xavier (vocals, lyrics and music) and Ann-Mari Thim (vocals and lyrics).

Melissa holds a Master's degree in "vocal performance with emphasis on opera" from Boston's New England Conservatory of Music, has performed many opera roles and is the current lead singer for symphonic metal band ECHOTERRA.

Commented VOIDWORK in a statement: "We warmly welcome Melissa and her amazing voice and look forward to the new dimension she will certainly add to our music. Together with Ann-Mari Thim (ARCANA, SEVENTH HARMONIC),she will be heard on the next release, 'Basement', which is scheduled for an autumn 2010 release."

Speaking about the project, Melissa had this to say: "I'm very excited to be working on dark, ambient music again with Xavier and Ann-Mari.

"When [Xavier] wrote me about singing in VOIDWORK, I was instantly charmed by what I heard. It will be a great complement to my work in ECHOTERRA and I can't wait to begin diving into these masterpieces."

VOIDWORK started in 2008 with the purpose of creating a haunting musical atmosphere. The concept is inspired by early 20th century supernatural literature and more recent horror cinema. In order to add a more diverse vocal sound, Ann-Mari Thim joined VOIDWORK in the spring of 2009.

VOIDWORK's debut album, "Asylum", was released in June 2009 through Essentia Mundi. The second album, "Forsaken", as well as the third release, "Horror", are available on one CD.
