AUTUMN
"Altitude"
RELEASED: 03.03.2009
Autumn “The Heart Demands” video featured on ultimate-guitar.com!
Dutch hard rockers, Autumn, have recently released a new video for their song, The Heart Demands, from their latest album, Altitude. Our friends over at Ultimate-Guitar.com posted the video this morning, so make sure to head over there and check it out. You can see the video HERE.

Altitude was released on March 3rd in the US and perpetuates the band’s vision of writing “albums” and not just putting together a collection of songs. Guitarist Mats van der Valk comments: “We’re pretty much an album band, having grown up in times when buying an album meant embarking on a musical journey, a thrilling adventure. Nowadays, you often end up with a collection of songs, some killers, some fillers. For us, every note on this album has a purpose. Every second counts, so to speak.”

“Welmen’s performance is far more personal and engaging, reflecting the warmth of an Anette Olzon or Amy Lee…” Outburn Magazine

“…dreamy and otherworldly…brilliant and very inventive…” PureGrainAudio.com

“…beautiful harmonies combined with great songwriting and an avant-garde sensibility make Altitude a multi-layered and multi-dimensional CD that is a very enjoyable disc to listen to.” ThrashMag.com

“To say that Altitude is the bands best work to date is an understatement, for Altitude has blasted light years ahead of what the band crafted two years ago in My New Time.” SomethingPunk.com

“The MVP of the album is Welman, who takes the full reins of Autumn and never lets loose. Her vocals are soaring, passionate, and full of just the right amount of emotion to not lean into over-wrought territory.” About.com

“If you're looking for smartly penned melodic metal (which manages to sound unlike most of the other modern-day metal bands mining similar sonic terrain), Autumn's Altitude would be a wise purchase.” AllMusic.com
