Stranger Vision – Wasteland (2022)

Do progressive metal still have a chance to sound fresh, catchy and original, without losing their authentic and charming spirit? If you believe that the answer is “no”, you have probably never listened to STRANGER VISION.

“Wasteland” is the band’s upcoming album and you’ll hear all that. STRANGER VISION were born in 2019, aiming to create and realize an extremely personal vision and sound. Catchy music, but not cheesy. Magniloquent, but not tawdry. Technical, but not complex. Modern, but not pimp. And powerful, above all.
The captivating energy of STRANGER VISION comes from the toughness of an exquisitely metal impact and the penetrating power of the melodies. Their style is proficient at generating energetic and pleasant sensations, both on artistic and emotional level.

Despite the rich songwriting and accurate arrangements, the creative process of STRANGER VISION feels free and spontaneous. ”Wasteland” is a 58-minutes-long musical journey showing STRANGER VISION’s talent for crating memorable riffs, epic vocal melodies, compelling rhythms, uplifting orchestrations, while working out a quite unique conceptual approach for their genre.

The interest of STRANGER VISION in human sciences – with special regard to literature, poetry and philosophy – is deepened in thoughtful lyrics, yet open to free interpretation. Wasteland is a concept album celebrating, exactly 100 years after its first publication, Thomas Stearns Eliot’s eponymous poem, published in 1922 and considered one of the great masterpieces of modern poetry.

”Wasteland” also features some stunning collaborations with prestigious international guests, such as Tom S. Englund (Evergrey, Redemption, Silent Skies) on the song The Deep and the almighty Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian, Demons & Wizards) on the title-track.
Mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni (DGM) at the renowned Domination Studio in San Marino, the new album ”Wasteland” will undoubtedly pursue the never-ending path of a steadily growing career, which can finally take flight along with the complete restoration of concert-related activities.
