Artist Bio
|
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 that it went beyond the band’s own expectations, but pushed the musicians
themselves to raise their game, when in the beginning they “thought anyone 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 Såll (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 give that debut album a follow-up,
along with Eclipse members Magnus Henriksson and Robban Bäck, that could live up to the
expectation of thousands of fans across the globe.
Anticipated by the release of the single/video “Learn to Live Again” – an unbelievably radiofriendly
song, which features for the first time a vocal duet between Mårtensson and Soto - the new
album “Rise Up” presents again a massive production and equally impressive songwriting, which
updates the term “classic rock” into the new century.
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 leaves the listener in awe from start to finish.
W.E.T. plan to launch the new album through a special live show in Stockholm which will be
showcasing the new songs as well as digging some classic tracks of the debut plus some cool
surprises. “Rise Up” is 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”.

Jeff Scott Soto: Lead Vocals
Erik Mårtensson: Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Vocals
