The Vision Ablaze is shivers dent down your spine, an emotional rush and raised fists.
The Vision Ablaze is more than just metal; It's serrated songs brimming with epic melodies, emotion and raw nerve.
It's metal with progressive compositions that are reminiscent of Machine Head, Killswitch Engage, Strapping Young Lad and Mercenary
The Vision Ablaze was formed in 2010 and consists of singer Peter, drummer Christian and guitarists Brian and Marcus.
The vision has always been clear - to create original music without fear, to write music that makes people feel.
The band has released two previous EPs - both critically received and both recorded and produced with renowned producers.
Youtopia is paraphrasing Sir Thomas More's 'Utopia'.
Published in 1516; Utopia merged the Greek concepts of Euopos (a good place) and Outopos (no place).
Did More believe a place in perfect equilibrium did not exist?
The Vision Ablaze believes it is in all of us, once all the illusions and delusions are shed.
The album challenges you to be active in your own life, to partake in rebelling against authorities that control through fear and lies.
The album is both brutal and fragile, but most of all, Honest.
Youtopia is happiness, sorrow dedication, fear and anger.
It's an album meant to lay bare the emotions of the songwriters.
Youtopia was recorded, mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Aborted, Mercenary).
Hansen was chosen becuase of the great job he did on the previous EP "Reach For The Stars".
Hansen has allowed the album to be brimming with detail without scrificing brutality - and without becoming introvert in its expressivemess.
