about

Handling all composition and songwriting duties, as well as all keyboards, Lalu weaved the cloth of this second album together with vocalist Martin LeMar, bassist Mike LePond (Symphony X), guitarist Simone Mularoni (DGM), and renowned drummer Virgil Donati (Planet X, Allan Holdsworth).

The recordings took place in several countries including the United States (Los Angeles and New York), Germany and Italy. The album was produced by Lalu in his own studio, and mixed at Boumbox Studio in Paris by Yan Memmi (Dio’s ‘Lock Up The Wolves’, Marcus Miller’s ‘The Sun Don’t Lie’, etc.). Additional contributions came from Jens Johansson (Stratovarius), Joop Wolters (Shadrane), Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), Marco Sfogli (James LaBrie), Mike Andersson (Cloudscape) and Peter Wildoer (James LaBrie).

The final product, boasting over fifty minutes of exceptional, massive cinematic, atmospheric metal was dubbed ‘Atomic Ark’. Signed by Sensory Records immediately upon hearing the opus, the album was released worldwide in 2013. As a result of the rights to the album reverting back to its creator, it is now available on Bandcamp as a "Deluxe" edition. To commemorate this new release, it includes a Bandcamp-only track (an instrumental version of the epic "Revelations").

Important note: If you have previously purchased the album through the Laser's Edge Bandcamp profile, please do not hesitate to contact us so that we may upgrade your version. Thank you!

Let The Truth Speak

Masterful production - deep, slow enough and a feast for your headphones. Inspiring arrangements and soul-searching vocal performances from a vast array of styles and voices. It's a mega-album, a world of its own. Up there with all the greats of the symph-prog genre. I just can't have enough of it. I like the balance between drama and calmness - always keeps you on your toes, gasping for more peaks and highs. Bordering on perfection - almost the best thing ever done in the progressive world.
