W.E.T. is built around the talents of Robert Säll (the
“W” from Work of Art), Erik Mårtensson (the “E” from Eclipse) and Jeff Scott
Soto (the “T” from Talisman) with Eclipse guitarist Magnus Henriksson and
drummer Robban Bäck. “Earthrage” is the band’s third
studio album and comes in the midst of absolute creative high points from
Mårtensson (coming off a highly successful new Eclipse album and preparing for
the release of the self-titled Ammunition album), Soto (coming off his own
successful solo album, plus the debut of supergroup Sons Of Apollo), and Säll
(having just completed the production of a forthcoming record with Steve
Overland of FM and about to start working on the anticipated fourth Work of Art
record).
The debut W.E.T. album in 2009 was one of the rare
occasions in the modern music business when a band created by the vision of a
record label executive actually managed to create a genuine wave of enthusiasm
and interest from fans and the media alike. To the point where it went beyond
the band’s own expectations and pushed the musicians to raise their game to new
levels. The members initially “thought hardly anyone would care except maybe
the die-hard fans from the three bands the name W.E.T. came from,” but here we
are on album number three with the fanbase only growing…
“Rise Up” was the logical consequence of the success
of the first album and was also followed up by a number of shows including such
Festivals as Frontiers Rock Festival (Italy), Firefest (UK), Melodic Rock Fest
(US) and Metallsvenskan (Sweden).
