VISIONATICA: With “Enigma Fire” the Female Fronted Symphonic Metal band ignites their epic new album masterpiece today

Today, on July 12th, 2019, VISIONATICA’s brand new Symphonic Metal album “Enigma Fire” has been released by Frontiers Music Srl. With the already released three singles along with music and lyric videos, such as the mystical “The Pharaoh”, the encouraging “Fear” and the heroic female epic of antiquity “Roxana The Great”, VISIONATICA have aroused interest in their new masterpiece. The four musicians leave nothing to chance and continue their clear musical vision purposefully. Together with their experienced team consisting of Timon Seidl, who did the recordings in the Red Audio Studio, and Olaf Reitmeier (Avantasia, Kamelot, Oversense) of the Gate Studio, who was again responsible for mixing and mastering, the new album proves that VISIONATICA are not simply resting on their laurels. Bombastic orchestral arrangements paired with the usual hard guitars, in combination with new oriental elements and Balkan influences, create a vast variety during the nine songs. Not only for fans of bands such as Within Temptation, Nightwish, Delain or Xandria, this band is highly recommended!

The German band around front lady Tamara Amedov, guitarist Manuel Buhl, bass player Tim Zahn and drummer Gerhard Spanner recently released the lyric video for their third single “Roxana The Great”, which takes us on a journey into the world of ancient Macedonia. With the dramatic lyric video they continued their cooperation with video artist Andy Pilkington (Orden Ogan, Saxon, Rhapsody Of Fire) of Very Metal Art, who had already captured “Fear”) into epic and exciting image sequences. The first single “The Pharaoh” deals with the secrets of ancient astronauts in relation to old Egyptian relics as well as the mystery about the origin of life and finds its action-packed staging in the music video produced by Johannes Zenk, Sebastian Herbst and Dominik Lang (Equilibrium, Nothgard).

With their first video single “She Wolf” from their debut album “Force Of Luna”, which was released through Dr. Music Records, VISIONATICA has achieved a real hit, which is still heard umpteen times on Spotify as well as YouTube. Altogether, the top 10 songs now reach over 1,5 million plays at Spotify alone! The fanbase is not just limited to Europe, there are also numerous fans in North and South America, who celebrate Tamara’s outstanding voice as well as her remarkable band. That they continue to ride the wave of success with “Enigma Fire” is shown not least by the great reactions from all over the world. All three new singles made it onto the official playlists of the major streaming providers Spotify (New Metal Tracks, Schwer & Laut) and Apple Music (Breaking Hard Rock). Furthermore, there are interviews in international Rock and Metal magazines such as Classic Rock Italy, PowerPlay UK, Rock It!, Orkus or Sonic Seducer and especially the positive feedback of their fans on the new singles let expect great things. The music press is already loudly celebrating the songs on “Enigma Fire”:
• Orkus: With nine strong tracks “Enigma Fire” is able to ignite fervent enthusiasm.
• Rock It!: VISIONATICA manage to create melodies that quickly stuck in the head. […] The proper production, in combination with the clear voice of vocalist Tamara Amedov, rounds off this album perfectly.
• SLAM: “Enigma Fire” has become an incredibly versatile album, which not only shows what is possible in Symphonic Metal, but also more than confirms the quality of the debut.
• Break Out: The album has a healthy balance between energetic power and calm parts with beautiful melodies. Again and again, oriental Balkan influences can be heard, which give the songs an extra spice. […] Often it feels like being relocated into a fantasy world through bombastic instrumental symphonic passages, which would fit perfectly into a historical film about antique oriental events. Strong record of the German band.
• EMP: Fans of Epica, Delain or Xandria get their money’s worth here – also because the musicians bring some truly independent ideas and surprises into their sound. […] With this album the German band will take the next big step.

VISIONATICA inflame the myth around their new Symphonic Metal jewel with “Enigma Fire”

Led by their singing wolf Tamara Amedov, VISIONATICA entered the first league of Symphonic Metal in 2016. With her fantastic, crystal clear soprano vocals combined with the powerful grooves, melodic guitars and impressive orchestra elements of her companions, this musical pack raised a lot of dust in the scene with their debut “Force Of Luna” and celebrated first successes. The nine songs of the varied album, which has been released through Dr. Music Records, were recorded and produced by Timon Seidl in the Red Audio Studio. For mixing and mastering the musicians from the south of Germany could enchant no less a figure than Gate Studio’s Olaf Reitmeier, who already worked with Metal giants like Avantasia, Kamelot or Epica. VISIONATICA leave nothing to chance and continue their clear musical vision purposefully with the upcoming album “Enigma Fire” and their proven producer team. The second album, which will be out on July 12th, 2019, also marks the beginning of their worldwide collaboration with the renowned Hard Rock and Metal label Frontiers Music Srl (i.a. Whitesnake, Primal Fear, Mr. Big). Not only for fans of bands such as Within Temptation, Nightwish, Delain or Xandria, this band is highly recommended!

With their first video single “She Wolf” VISIONATICA have achieved a real hit, which is still heard umpteen times on Spotify as well as YouTube. Altogether, the top 10 songs reach over a million plays! The fanbase is not just limited to Europe, there are also numerous fans in North and South America, who celebrate Tamara’s outstanding voice as well as her remarkable band around guitarist Manuel Buhl, drummer Gerhard Spanner and bass player Tim Zahn. In 2013, the musicians started to realize their idea of a Symphonic Metal band. They envisioned a sophisticated concept and started the songwriting for their debut. The final result is an extremely melodic, but at the same time, powerful album full of energy in which skilfully composed orchestra sections merge perfectly with virtuoso guitars, driving drums, and the fantastic voice of their classically trained vocalist. With “Force Of Luna” VISIONATICA produced an album that tells stories about wolves, visions, lies, myths and much more. With their hit “She Wolf” and no less powerful songs such as “Certainty Of Benevolence” or the emotional duet “The Thorns” with Winterstorm singer Michael Liewald, they arouse desire for their upcoming second album called “Enigma Fire”.

The new album proves that VISIONATICA are not resting on their first laurels. Bombastic orchestral arrangements paired with the usual hard guitars, in combination with new oriental elements and Balkan influences, create a vast variety during the nine songs. In “Enigma Fire” the lyrics have a different focus than they had on the debut. The opener “The Pharaoh”, which will also be released as a video single on April 16th, 2019, deals with the secrets of ancient astronauts in relation to old Egyptian relics as well as the mystery about the origin of life. With the third single “Roxana The Great” Tamara continues the series of strong female characters. After “Lilith” on the previous album, this song tells the story of the wife of Alexander the Great of Macedonia. In this way, Tamara Amedov shows a reference to her ethnic origin. In “To The Fallen Roma” she pays tribute to the Sinti and Roma who died in Auschwitz, also to oppose prejudices towards these ethnicities. But not only as a result of these songs “Enigma Fire” will be released as a milestone of modern Symphonic Metal, also due to the other new tracks like the second single “Fear”, the belligerent “Dance Of Fire” or the unfinished dream “Incomplete” the enthusiastic fanbase of VISIONATICA will continue to grow worldwide! Not least because the band brings more voices to the album as a contrast to Tamara’s incomparable voice, which clearly lifts “Enigma Fire” up from the debut album. In “Rise From The Ashes” Michael Liewald performs another duet with Tamara. Additionally, her Macedonian relatives provide with their folkloristic chants like in “To The Fallen Roma” that certain something.

VISIONATICA entfachen mit „Enigma Fire“ den Mythos um ihr neues Symphonic Metal Juwel

Angeführt von ihrer singenden Wölfin Tamara Amedov machten sich VISIONATICA 2016 auf in die erste Liga des Symphonic Metals. Mit ihrem grandiosen und glasklaren Sopran-Gesang, verbunden mit den kraftvollen Grooves, melodischen Gitarren sowie beeindruckenden Orchester-Elementen ihrer Mitstreiter, wirbelte dieses musikalische Rudel mit dem Debüt „Force Of Luna“ gehörig Staub in der Szene auf und feierte erste Erfolge. Die neun Songs des abwechslungsreichen Albums, das über Dr. Music Records erschienen ist, wurden von Timon Seidl im Red Audio Studio aufgenommen und produziert. Für Mix und Mastering konnten die Nürnberger keinen Geringeren als Olaf Reitmeier vom Gate Studio begeistern, der bereits mit Metal Größen wie Avantasia, Kamelot oder Epica gearbeitet hat. VISIONATICA überlassen nichts dem Zufall und setzen ihre klare musikalische Vision zielstrebig mit dem am 12.07.2019 kommenden Album „Enigma Fire“ und ihrem bewährten Produzententeam fort. Das zweite Album markiert zudem den Beginn der weltweiten Zusammenarbeit mit dem renommierten Hardrock und Metal Label Frontiers Music Srl (u.a. Whitesnake, Primal Fear, Mr. Big). Nicht nur für Fans von Bands wie Within Temptation, Nightwish, Delain oder Xandria ist die Band wärmstens zu empfehlen!

Mit ihrer ersten Videosingle „She Wolf“ ist VISIONATICA dazu ein echter Hit gelungen, der sowohl bei Spotify als auch YouTube immer noch x-fach gehört wird. Insgesamt erreicht die Top 10 der Songs allein bei Spotify weit über eine Millionen Plays! Die Fangemeinde beschränkt sich dabei nicht nur auf den europäischen Raum, auch in Nord- und Südamerika gibt es bereits zahlreiche Anhänger, die Tamaras bemerkenswerte Stimme sowie ihre nicht weniger beachtenswerte Band um Gitarrist Manuel Buhl, Drummer Gerhard Spanner sowie Bassist Tim Zahn feiern. 2013 begannen die Musiker ihre Idee einer Symphonic Metal Band in die Tat umzusetzen. Sie entwickelten ein ausgefeiltes Konzept und starteten mit dem Songwriting für ihr Debüt. Das Endergebnis ist ein extrem melodisches und gleichzeitig kraftvolles und energiegeladenes Album, bei dem geschickt komponierte Orchester-Sektionen perfekt mit den virtuosen Gitarren, dem treibenden Schlagzeug und der grandiosen Stimme der klassisch ausgebildeten Sängerin einhergehen. VISIONATICA haben mit „Force Of Luna“ ein Werk geschaffen, das von Wölfen, Visionen, Lügen, Mythen und vielem mehr erzählt. Mit ihrem Hit „She Wolf“ und mit nicht minder starken Songs wie z.B. „Certainty Of Benevolence“ oder dem gefühlvollen Duett „The Thorns“ mit Winterstorm Sänger Michael Liewald, wecken sie die Lust auf das kommende zweite Album „Enigma Fire“.

Das neue Album belegt, dass VISIONATICA sich nicht auf den ersten Lorbeeren ausruhen. Bombastische Orchester-Arrangements sorgen mit gewohnt harten Gitarren in Kombination mit neuen orientalischen Elementen und Balkaneinflüssen für Abwechslung während der neun Songs. Die Lyrics legen auf „Enigma Fire“ andere Schwerpunkte als auf dem Debüt. Der Opener „The Pharaoh“, der am 16.04.2019 auch als Video-Single veröffentlicht wird, setzt sich mit den Geheimnissen der Prä-Astronautik in Bezug auf altägyptische Relikte auseinander sowie dem Rätsel um die Entstehung des Lebens. Mit „Roxana The Great“, der dritten Single, setzt Tamara die Reihe starker Frauenpersönlichkeiten fort. Nach „Lilith“ auf dem Vorgänger geht es dieses Mal um die Frau Alexanders des Großen von Mazedonien. Womit sie auch einen Bezug zur eigenen Familienherkunft zieht. In „To The Fallen Roma“ zollt Tamara Amedov den in Auschwitz umgekommenen Sinti und Roma ihren Tribut, auch um Vorurteilen gegenüber dieser beiden Ethnien entgegenzutreten. Doch nicht nur dank der genannten Songs wird mit „Enigma Fire“ ein Meilenstein des modernen Symphonic Metal erscheinen, auch die anderen neuen Tracks wie z.B. der zweiten Single „Fear“, das kriegerische „Dance Of Fire“ oder der unvollendete Traum „Incomplete“ werden die begeisterte Fanschar VISIONATICAs weltweit weiter anwachsen lassen! Nicht zuletzt weil die Band sich weitere Stimmen als Kontrast zu Tamaras unvergleichlicher Stimme mit auf das Album holt, hebt sich „Enigma Fire“ deutlich vom Debütalbum ab. In „Rise From The Ashes“ liefert sich Michael Liewald erneut ein Duett mit Tamara. Doch auch ihre mazedonische Verwandtschaft sorgt, wie u.a. in „To The Fallen Roma“ mit folkloristischen Gesängen für das gewisse Etwas.
