Led by her 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, Alan
Parsons etc.). 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”, Tamara
Amedov’s pack has 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, VISIONATICA started to realize their idea of a
Symphonic Metal band. They created a sophisticated concept and started the
songwriting for their debut. The result is an extremely melodic, but at the
same time powerful album full of energy, in which skilled composed orchestra
sections merge perfectly with virtuously played guitars, driving drums and the
fantastic voice of the 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 Pharao”,
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.
