Cloudscape "New Era"

CLOUDSCAPE is a melodic power metal band with progressive touches from southern Sweden! Fans of both progressive metal, such as Evergrey, Symphony X, Dream Theater, and Pagan’s Mind, and old-school rock, like Aerosmith, Scorpions, and Journey, are sure to find something enjoyable about CLOUDSCAPE.

Since 2004, CLOUDSCAPE has made the prestigious Roastinghouse Studios of Malmö, Sweden their studio home, upkept by producers Anders "Theo" Theander (Allen/Lande, Pain of Salvation) on their 2005 self-titled debut and Pontus Lindmark (Allen/Lande, Nostradameus) for "Crimson Skies" (2006) and "Global Drama" (2008) as CLOUDSCAPE progressed from a stronger power metal orient to a more sophisticated and experimental style. By logically continuing this progression, "New Era" (2012) will become the band’s most creative work to date.

CLOUDSCAPE's compositional ambitions have always bridged progressive metal and straightforward melodic rock/metal, creating music accessible to a wider audience by virtue of its intense melody, but with enough complexity to satiate the ears of casual and serious music enthusiasts. The band's following grew daily and steadily, amassing various credentials along the way; CLOUDSCAPE has performed at highly acclaimed metal festivals: the prestigious Sweden Rock (Sweden), Bloodstock (UK), ProgPower EU-Netherlands, ProgPower Scandinavia (Denmark), and Norway Metal Heart festival, has produced several professional music videos together with director Rainer Holmgren, and continues to tour extensively. Despite a short hiatus to work on side projects and the departures of founding members, the band's core membership and ambition are as solid as ever. All involved anticipate a new era, during which this monster attracts the attention of fans and critics alike, with bated breath.

Produced and mixed by Micko Twedberg, mixed by Twedberg and Anders "Theo" Theander, and mastered and executively produced by Theander.
