Asia Set Release of New Album 'Gravitas'

02/06/2014
. (hennemusic) British supergroup Asia will release a new album, "Gravitas", next month. Produced and written by John Wetton and Geoff Downes, the project introduces Asia's new guitarist, Sam Coulson, who replaced Steve Howe last year following his return to the Yes lineup.

"With the addition of Sam it allowed us to take the band in a slightly different, and perhaps tougher, direction." says drummer Carl Palmer. "He brings a different feel to Asia with his guitar work. As a band we have been able to grow, while at the same time, remain true to the classic Asia sound that our fans know and love."

Scheduled for release on March 5th (Japan), March 21st (Europe). and March 25th (North America), "Gravitas" will be available in two configurations: a standard CD and a Deluxe Edition, that will include two bonus tracks and a DVD containing the "Valkyrie" music video, a promotional film, and footage of classic live Asia tracks such as "Heat Of The Moment", recorded with the Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra in Bulgaria. more on this story
