Heavatar Set To Release Debut LP
German modern power metal act Heavatar, the new project from Van Canto mastermind Stefan Schmidt, is set to release the debut LP "Opus I - All My Kingdoms" on February 22, 2013 through Napalm Records.
With Heavatar, Schmidt exchanges the "A Cappella" style, manning the rhythm guitar as well as lead vocals. Supporting him is Ex-Stratovarius drummer Jörg Michael, David Vogt and Ex-Fading Starlight guitarist Sebastian Scharf.
According to the press release: "[e]ach song borrows – some more, some less – a motif from classical composers – ranging from Bach to Paganini and Beethoven. The epic songs are filled with mighty choirs, which are performed by members of the "Blind Guarding" choir-team and of course, Stefan’s friends in Van Canto. The artwork was created by the renowned fantasy artist Kerem Beyit. 'All My Kingdoms' is a celebration for Power Metal fans, who love catchy refrains, epic choirs, classic tunes, heavy riffs and thundering double-bass. The debut will also take supports of different genres by storm – to the Metal!"
