Styria, Austria (2000 – present)

Visions of Atlantis is an Austrian symphonic metal band that formed in Styria, Austria in 2000. The band currently consists of Mario Plank (male vocals), Martin Harb (keyboards, synthesizer), Michael Koren (bass), Werner Fiedler (guitars), Thomas Caser (drums), and Joanna Nieniewska (female vocals)

The original line-up consisted of Nicole Bogner (female vocals), Christian Stani (male vocals), Werner Fiedler (guitars), Mike Koren (bass), Chris Kamper (keyboards), and Thomas Caser (drums). Inspiration came both from successful symphonic 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.

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. Since then a few more band members have left and joined. 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, their third album, “Trinity”, was released. In September 2007, they began their first North American tour with Epica.

(Vibeke is a mezzo, actually, but I think we're through with discussing other vocalists now.) Er... I dunno what to say about VoA. ._. They never update their site. I want to hear a new song :(

@pep_i Ok, you're the owner of the Absolute Truth, Floor has 4.5 octaves range, Tarja is a mezzo, as Vibeke, and we're all tone deaf. Now let's finish this worthless discussion.

Who cares? This is not Floor's or Tarja's page. Discuss VoA, plz, because they are a great band and deserve not to have this kind of pointless arguing on their page.

Well, you have a point Naytan, since pep_i's still convinced Floor's range is 4.5 octaves when her official MySpace says 4, he probably wouldn't accept an official statement from Tarja either. :P

man you are not understanding what i am saying.the last notes of the phantom of the opera are killers and tarja her self could not hit the pure notes, so she had the notes edited to fit her voice.......in the schritmas symphony thing floor attempted NW version of the song and got the pure notes.but at the last there was a bit of struggle and yes her vocal range is 4.5 ocatves......You are tone deaf my friend.vibeke stene is a MEzzo and heck who would have thought that.

@Moowny If someone send an email do Tarja, she'd say she's REALLY a soprano, as she knows she is, but, even thus, I bet pep_i would tell herself she's wrong =P
