W.E.T. new album

Swedish/American supergroup W.E.T. to release their anticipated sophomore album Rise Up in February on Frontiers.

Frontiers Records is excited to announce the release of W.E.T. new studio album Rise Up on February 22 in Europe and February 26 in North America.

The W.E.T. debut album in 2009 was
one of the rare occasions when a band, created by the vision of a record
label president, managed to create such a wave of enthusiasm and
interest from fans and the media alike. Not only did it go beyond the
band's own expectations, but it pushed the musicians themselves to raise
their own game, when in the beginning they thought 'no one would care
except maybe the die-hard fans from the three bands the name W.E.T. came
from'.

The key element to the success of “W.E.T' was to create a modern Melodic
Hard Rock sound and drive it into the future with powerhouse rhythm and
production, making it an equally classic and contemporary release.

Robert Säll (the “W” from Work of Art), Erik Mårtensson (the “E” from Eclipse) and Jeff Scott Soto (the “T” from Talisman) accepted the daunting task to create a follow-up, along with returning Eclipse members Magnus Henriksson and Robban Bäck, that could live up to the expectation of thousands of fans across the globe.

The album's release will be anticipated by the release of the single “Learn to Live Again”
on December 17 – an unbelievably radio-friendly song, which features
for the first time a vocal duet between Mårtensson and Soto.

Rise Up presents again a massive production
and equally impressive songwriting, which updates the term “classic
rock” into the new century. “The songs were written between December
2011 to February 2012 and were recorded between March through May. We
then wrote/added three more songs in September, recorded them in October
and the whole album was finally mixed and mastered”, says Erik Mårtensson. “To me this album sounds more like a 'band' verses the 1st album”, adds Jeff Scott Soto 'The
first album was great as it had a lot of great songs but this one has
great songs and a band personality which shows growth as far as I'm
concerned'.

Hook after hook, Rise Up is another one of
these albums where you can enjoy the dynamics of a brilliant partnership
bringing out a unique result. Melodic bullet rockers are followed by
haunting ballads and fabulous arena rockers in an album that will leave
listeners in awe from start to finish.

“We took what we all loved about the first album and built the
songwriting and sound from that. We wanted to give the band more of an
identity and tried to find 'our' own sound. I really think we achieved
it with this album. Heavier and darker than the first album which we all
in the band love. It's melodic rock for a new century!', tells Mårtensson. Soto adds: “Strangely
my faves are the more uptempo songs and ballads on this album, W.E.T do
great AOR stuff naturally but to have more strength on some tracks and
then get emotionally charged in others made those songs the more
interesting for me”.

W.E.T. plan to launch the new album through a special live show in Stockholm at the Debaser Club on January 17, 2013.
The band so far has made only one live appearance at the annual
Firefest event in the UK in October 2011, but in this new and special
concert appearance, they will be showcasing for the first time new songs
as well as digging some tracks from the now classic debut, plus some
cool surprises. Tickets can be bought in advance following this link: secure.tickster.com/Intro.aspx?ERC=89TYN1LGME921HT.

“Rise Up” will be released in February, but
it will be very difficult to envision anything better to come out
during the year to beat the “Melodic Rock album of the year” for 2013!

“Rise Up” tracklisting includes: Walk
Away; Learn to Live Again; Rise Up; Love Heals; What You Want; The
Moment; Bad Boy; On The Run; Broken Wings; Shot; Still Believe In Us;
Still Unbroken.

“Learn to Live Again” sample can be heard here:
