Spektra

While the debut was produced by the legendary Jeff Scott Soto and Italian mastermind Alessandro Del Vecchio, SPEKTRA comes back with their sophomore album proving that they are more than just a band – they are an immersive experience. Their sound resonates with the influences of rock masters like Journey, Foreigner, and Winger, delivering a symphony of stadium rock melodies and high-energy hard rock vibes.

Following on from his most successful period to date with the critically acclaimed album Karfagen 7 and the European "Breaking Free" tour Antony Kalugin returned re-energized to his studio to finish work on what completes a defining 2016 for the musical mastermind, all the Karfagen trade marks are here and as with all the best who done it novelists where the music is going next the listener never quite knows. The king of the instrumental unleashes a monsoon of melodies whilst captivating with a constant flow of changing musical genres as Spektra takes us on another Karfagen fairytale ride.

Not to be confused with the nefarious conglomeration of evil-doers Spectre, the nemesis of super-spy James Bond, is the new Brazilian band Spektra. The band was created by vocalist BJ (Tempestt, Jeff Scott Soto, Danger Angel) with a desire to revisit some of his own classic rock influences like Journey, Foreigner, and Winger. The result is Spektra's debut album, Overload, for Frontiers Music, and produced by Jeff Scott Soto…
