Powerhouse vocalist Alexander Strandell, guitarist Christoffer Borg and bassist Richard Sv?rd, in one word ART NATION, are back with a powerful new musical statement. Following the highly acclaimed "Inception", the new "Chapter V: The Ascendance" delivers a Huge, anthemic, more modern melodic oriented album, powerful and energic. Frontiers Music Srl approached Alexander about working together on a new Art Nation album, following the release of Crowne debut album "Kings In The North" and after re-united with the guitarist Christoffer Borg, who started the band with Alexander in 2014, Art Nation have re-established that great musical spirit and chemistry that launched the band and they're is back and better than ever. As Alexander stated following the signing with Frontiers to release "Inception" in 2023, explaining why the band went on a break in 2019 : "When Art Nation released our debut album "Revolution" in 2015, everything went extremely fast. Suddenly we were on tour, doing shows on some of the biggest stages in Sweden and walking the red carpet of the Grammy Awards. At the same time, we were navigating the difficulties of being a bunch of kids, playing in a band where no one had any experience of doing all the things that we were expected to do. I was totally broken and overwhelmed by all the anxiety that had built up from the pressure of trying too hard. After the release of "Liberation" in 2017, I could barely be on stage anymore without pain in my chest and I was so frustrated with being ill. During this period, I did things to my friends in the band that I deeply regret today" This break was necessary because I needed to heal myself and today I'm feeling stronger than ever. We're here to stay this. Let's make this next chapter of Art Nation, the best ever!" concludes Strandell. "Chapter V: The Ascendance" push more the pedal towards the modern heavy sound, without losing the typical Art Nation trademark with memorable melodies. Songs like "Halo", "Thunderball" or "Unstoppable", are perfect examples of what you can expect from the new album: an undeniably enjoyable sonic delight.
