American/Norwegian Rock artist Vitne will release a new full-length album, "Jupiter", on June 20th, 2017. This musically intense soul-searching album is a large departure from his Glam Metal beginnings in Norway, featuring more flute, heavier writing and far more in-depth lyrical content. The brand new music video for the song "Masquerade" can be viewed below.
""Jupiter" is heavier than my previous albums, both literally and figuratively", says Vitne. "It's a very personal album, touching on subjects that many experience throughout life such as feelings of detachment".
The album was recorded and produced by Vitne. Mixed and mastered by Rolf Munkes (except "Mirror" mixed and mastered by Joseph Kimbrell, "Are You Real?" mixed and mastered by Kevin Carafa, and "Under The Moonlight" mixed by Johan Vegna and mastered by Mercury Mastering). The artwork was made by François Matus.
Vitne's "Jupiter" showcases his passion for making music that is important to him, regardless of the direction it takes him. While it was evident his previous album Neon was heavily based in Glam Metal territory, Jupiter is slightly more difficult to pin down. It is clear, however, that his love for Japanese Rock has greatly influenced his work.
"I feel Japanese artists like X Japan and GACKT have really moved me", says Vitne. "Their use of classical instruments adds a beauty to even the heaviest of songs. As a flutist I was intrigued, and that ultimately inspired me to experiment more with flute and piano in my own music".
