Search - Art Nation :: Revolution

2015 debut album by the Swedish rock band. Art Nation was formed 2013 in Gothenburg, Sweden, after lead singer Alexander Strandell's departure from his former band Diamond Dawn. Strandell, already well known for his strong voice and energetic stage presence, decided to raise the bar, and gathered some of the best musicians available - bassist Simon Gudmundsson being the first, shortly followed by Theodor Hedström and Christoffer Borg. Art Nation spent 2014 playing shows, as well as guesting national TV and radio shows, further building their fan base and reputation. The band got its final line-up when adding second guitarist Johan Gustavsson, together with drummer Carl Tudén, who was recruited just after winning the Swedish Drum Championships. In early 2015, Art Nation signed a deal with German label AOR Heaven for their full-length debut album, titled Revolution. The record was produced and recorded by Jakob Herrmann at Top Floor Studios, together with Christoffer Borg. Revolution consists of 12 songs, one being a completely remade version of their first single Moving On. It also features the stripped down piano ballad Look To The Sky, performed in one take by Strandell and keyboardist Theodor Hedström. The album is mixed and mastered at Hansen Studios in Denmark by renowned mixing engineer Jacob Hansen (Amaranthe, Engel, Volbeat, etc).
