Visions of Atlantis is an Austrian symphonic metal band that formed in Styria, Austria in 2000. The band currently consists of Mario Plank (male vocals), Martin Harb (keyboards, synthesizer), Michael Koren (bass), Werner Fiedler (guitars), Thomas Caser (drums), and Joanna Nieniewska (female vocals)

The original line-up consisted of Nicole Bogner (female vocals), Christian Stani (male vocals), Werner Fiedler (guitars), Mike Koren (bass), Chris Kamper (keyboards), and Thomas Caser (drums). Inspiration came both from successful symphonic metal band Nightwish and from the myth of Atlantis. The equal combination of male and female vocals distinguishes Visions of Atlantis from Nightwish though and is more reminiscent of Lacuna Coil.

A first demo, “Morning In Atlantis”, was released in 2000. In 2001 they signed with TTS Media Music/Black Arrow Productions, and in 2002 their first album, “Eternal Endless Infinity”, was released. 2003 saw a change in line-up, replacing Christian Stani with Mario Plank and Chris Kamper with Miro Holly. Now with Napalm Records, Visions of Atlantis released their second album, “Cast Away”, in 2004. Since then a few more band members have left and joined. In 2005 Nicole Bogner was replaced by Melissa Ferlaak (formerly with Aesma Daeva) and Wolfgang Koch replaced Werner Fiedler. In 2006 Martin Harb, who already played with Visions of Atlantis on their tour in Mexico in 2003, replaced Miro Holly.

In May 2007, their third album, “Trinity”, was released. In September 2007, they began their first North American tour with Epica.

On the 28th of November 2007 a message was posted on the official Visions of Atlantis website saying that Melissa Ferlaak and Wolfgang Koch have left the band, both citing personal reasons. Following this Visions of Atlantis have announced their ex-guitarist Werner Fiedler has rejoined the band.

On the 1st of February 2009 a message was posted on the official Visions of Atlantis website to present the new lead vocalist of the band, in the person of 20 years old Austrian singer Joanna Nieniewska.

God, i hate them haha.
Trinity is seriosly one of the worst albums i own, i think it's just another second class attempt to make Nightwish, via that be commercially succesfull, another band that failed doing it, all the bands that try it fail.
Also i think their male singer has one of the worst voices ever, he mostly struggles haha.
Sorry for the fans Smile

I liked Melissa on the few ballads but on most songs i found her far too un-emotional and effected.
I think she did better job on the Adyta album.
