Artist description
Ark has just recently completed the recording of their second album at Area 51 Studios under the production helm of Tommy Newton. Entitled “Burn The Sun”, the new album takes the band a noticeable step further. Joining the line up are bassist Randy Coven (Steve Vai, Steve Morse) and keyboard player Mats Olausson (Yngwie Malmsteen). The addition of which helps to enhance the overall sound by keeping the unit tight but extremely flexible as they knock down musical boundaries. The new album, “Burn The Sun” is much more direct than its predecessor but is still a collage of expression and emotions - a reflection of the musicians' personalities and state of mind. |

Artist History
The birth of ARK can be traced back to 1990, where a friendship was struck between TNT drummer John Macaluso and Conception guitarist Tore stby. The two bands had shared rehearsal space in the town of Toten, Norway and after the break-up of TNT, the two musicians decided to begin a musical project that would satisfy both of their musical appetites. After an arduous search for the right vocalist, the right man came in the guise of Jorn Lande who was singing for The Snakes (with Bernie Marsden & Mickey Moody). Coming from commercial hard rock bands, the trio were consciously trying to create something very different. They decided they wanted to drop all commercial barriers and clichs and write whatever came naturally. |
