Discography updated & modified; lower quality MP3s uploaded to http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/330/altaria.html and only 256kbit/s files left here.

Due to high demand from the audience (this means YOU, dear reader!) and for celebrating the barrier of 2000 visitors here at http://www.altariamusic.com/ the band has decided to release entire Sleeping Visions (demo/promo 2001) on the Internet! There are 2 sets of MP3s available from all of the songs - a 96kbit/s version for slower connections and high quality 256kbit/s files for people who're willing to wait a bit longer or who demand higher audio quality. The MP3s are of course full-length, not just samples. To download, go to discography section. Remember to write your opinion to the questbook, too!

The demo is now ready. There's also a possibility to buy the demo (for an indefinite period), check details from the brand new merchandise section. Give away small amount of cash, get bunch of great music - awesome deal, huh? :) Also some minor updates here and there.

 

++ 28.08. 2001
All vocals (lead & background vocals, choirs & harmonies) are recorded, mixing & mastering the songs will start today. Also the rest of the photos from the studio are now added to the photo section. Stay tuned, MP3s are soon on their way - remember to spread the word!
 
++ 21.08. 2001
All guitars recorded, new photos from the studio added. No keyboards recorded due the long weekend for Jani (3 Sonata Arctica gigs, long studio session recording the guitar parts, lots of traveling...) so the songs are bit simplified. There's enough melodies for the listeners even without the keyboards, don't worry :)
 
++ 15.08. 2001
All bass guitars and drums are now recorded. Guitars will be recorded during this week, the rest (vocals & possibly some keyboards if there's enough time) of the recording plus the mixing of the demo will be done in about a week after Jani's entered the studio. The demo will contain three songs: "Fire And Ice", "Innocent" and "Kingdom Of The Night". Also 18 photos from the studio are now available. More to come soon!
 
++ 23.07. 2001

Altaria's studio session is slightly delayed due to hardware problems at the recording studio. New time scheduled in August. Also links section is now updated.

 
++ 05.07. 2001

Discography section has been updated with three new and fresh live MP3 samples! Please notice: the MP3s are live recordings, so the sound quality probably isn't perfect...

 
++ 01.07. 2001

Live MP3s will be available soon! Check also the live section!
