Visions Of Atlantis is a symphonic power metal band from Styria, Austria, founded in 2000. The original line-up consisted of Werner Fiedler (guitar), Mike Koren (bass), Christian Stani (vocals), Chris Kamper (keyboard), Nicole Bogner (vocals) and Thomas Caser (drums). Inspiration came both from successful symphonic power metal band Nightwish and from the myth of Atlantis. The equal combination of male and female vocals distinguishes Visions Of Atlantis from Nightwish though and is more reminiscent of Lacuna Coil.

History

A first demo, Morning In Atlantis was released in 2000. In 2001 they signed with TTS Media Music/Black Arrow Productions, and in 2002 their first album, Eternal Endless Infinity was released. 2003 saw a change in line-up, replacing Christian Stani with Mario Plank and Chris Kamper with Miro Holly. Now with Napalm Records, Visions Of Atlantis released their second album Cast Away in 2004.

In 2005 Nicole Bogner was replaced by Melissa Ferlaak (formerly with Aesma Daeva) and Wolfgang Koch replaced Werner Fiedler. In 2006 Martin Harb, who already played with Visions Of Atlantis on their tour in Mexico in 2003, replaced Miro Holly.

In May 2007, VoA released their 3rd album "Trinity", mastered at Finnvox studios and recorded at Bavarian Dreamscape Studios [1]).

In September 2007, Visions Of Atlantis began their first North American tour with Epica.

On the 28th of November 2007 a message was posted on the official Visions of Atlantis website saying that Melissa Ferlaak and Wolfgang Koch had left the band, both citing personal reasons (Ferlaak and Koch were married in May 2008 [2]).

Following this Visions of Atlantis announced a few days after that their ex guitarist, Werner Fiedler, had rejoined the band. They were advertising on their website the position for a female vocalist for several months, and in September 3rd, 2008, they finally announced that they had found a new female singer, whose identity is still unknown. They have also announced that they are already working on their fourth studio album, to be released sometime in 2009.
