Creation History
The album "Hearts in Atlantis" was recorded from May 2011 to February 2012. Officially, the album was released on Metalism Records on May 28, 2012, however, the disc could be purchased on Gorbushka from May 26, 2012 [3] . Since May 21, 2012 the album is available for free listening on the site Soundcloud.com [4] . The first single of the album was the song "First Day of Autumn." The song premiered on January 24, 2012 on the air of Ekho Moskvy radio station. In the same month, the collection “Mastersland.com - 10 years on the net” went on sale, where the above-mentioned composition was also present.
The recordings were attended by musicians - Andrei Smirnov (“ Everlost ”), Vladimir Nasonov (ex- “ Mechanical Poet ”), Yuri Bobyrev (“ Scartown ”) and Oleg Slyusar.
The presentation of the album and the group's autograph session took place on June 3, 2012 at the Rock House club in Moscow.
Criticism Reviews
(<...>) What, actually, can be said about this disc? Firstly, it will appeal to the overwhelming majority of Aria fans - and this is its main trump card. Fortunately, this is by no means an Aryan clone - it is a somewhat more melodic hard-n-heavy, often reminiscent of the American material of the American heroes of this 80s genre. Secondly, Michael’s vocals make you close your eyes even to some minor flaws in the instrumental part of the record and, perhaps, not always the most outstanding and memorable melodies. And thirdly, it is impossible not to mention the amazingly amazing ballad “First Day of Autumn”, which, if it were in the repertoire of Aria, would become a real rotational hit even on our thoroughly rotted pop-chanson radio.
