Asterise

Asterise to release the debut album 'Two Worlds' in December

Asterise is multinational power metal "opera" project. The project started in 2018 when Bartlomiej Mezynski and Dionysis Maniatakos joined forces to create something fresh and new, however which will also refer to the classic bands like Stratovarius, Gamma Ray or Avantasia.

The lyrics are about a person being trapped between two worlds. Souls being locked between good and bad sides. It tells a little story about different states of minds. Showing a journey from being lost, being deceived by own desires, searching for home and finally reaching the top of the world and fulfilling the destiny. While listening to the album you will experience great emotional trip thanks to a lot of slow, beautiful orchestra and piano parts. The journey starts right here.

Cover art by Natalia Nowacka (Extinct Sacrif).

The band just released a music video for 'High above the Horizon', which is the opener of the forthcoming debut album 'Two Worlds'. This single features Tristan Harders (Terra Atlantica), Arnaud Menard (Marius Danielsen's Legend Of Valley Doom) & Katharina Stahl.

The mastermind Bartlomiej Mezynski commented:

"'High above the Horizon' is the opening track for 'Two Worlds' album. Apart from Tristan Harders and Arnaud Menard, this time, you will also hear beautiful female vocals performed by Katharina Stahl. The song contains fast guitar parts but also emotional piano and symphonic stuff in the middle that will be stuck in your mind for long time. The story starts right here."

The first single 'Falling Stars' features Jimmy Hedlund (Falconer), Tristan Harders & Arnaud Menard.
