ESTATE

About

“Mirrorland” is the second full-length album of Estate. It is powerful, attractive, mystical epic progressive power metal.

This album is a huge step up for the band. It is heavier and more progressive, but by no means Estate has lost their calling card – the lyrical and romantic melodism.

“Mirrorland”s very diverse but the songs keep the same vibe and are filled with obscure and mysterious atmosphere.

The album has such strong tunes as “Mirrorland”, “Lady Wind”, “The Ghoul” and a dark medium tempo horror story “Springtime”, plus traditional power metal ballads like “Winter Kingdom” and “Silvery Skies”. There is a special three-act opus that is called “Storm of the Age”. It was written under the influence of works of an American writer, Glen Cook, a founder of the dark fantasy genre.

The recordings began in August 2015 and lasted till May 2017 at the band’s own studio. Mixing and mastering is done by band’s guitarist Peter Filevsky.

Guest musicians include Mats Leven (Therion, Treat, and Candlemass) and Mark Boals (Y.Malmsteen, Royal Hunt, and Ring of Fire)

Bio

ESTATE is a Russian metal band with English lyrics performing in the genre of epic power metal with other influences.
The first album “Fantasia” was released in December 2014 with the help of Danish Label “Mighty Music/Target Group”.

“Fantasia” received positive feedback in many popular media sources around the world.

The songs “Hero”, “You Are Not Alone” and “Absolutely True!” played on many free radio stations on the globe and «Tarantella» with «Holy Land» were featured in numerous music collections.
In the beginning of 2015 ESTATE presented their new album in their home city, Krasnodar. The show was fantastic and epic and the local Rock Bar held the crowd of 400 people. After that the band performed with DORO (ex-WARLOCK), Michael Schenker (ex-SCORPIONS, ex-UFO, MSG) and KIPELOV (ex-Aria).

In summer 2015 the band went touring in support of the album around Europe.

The performances happened in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Germany, France and Holland. The highlight of the tour was a big international «Dobry Festival 2015» performance in Slovakia.

Autumn 2015 was marked by the release of the internet mini-album “Ascending” that included the “Fantasia” songlist with Russian lyrics, the lyric-video to “Ascending” and a documentary about the Summer European tour.

In the end of 2015 and 2016 ESTATE went on big tours around Russia which resulted in two musicians leaving the band but despite this the band is still working on new material.

At the present moment the band has finished the work on the second full-length album “Mirrorland” and everyone is full of hopes it’s going to be a success. New complicated arrangement added up some progressive and epic tension to the sound.
It features guest musicians such as MATS LEVEN (Therion, Y.Malsmsteen, and Treat) and MARK BOALS (Y.Malmsteen, Royal Hunt, T.Nugent, and Ring of Fire).

Fawn Reginald, a well-known creature from the magic world, is again there on the cover. And Leo Hao, who drew the cover art for such bands as BLIND GUARDIAN, ICED EARTH, PRIMAL FEAR and other renowned musicians, is again the author of the artwork.

In early January 2018 ESTATE released «Winter Kingdom» is the first video single from the album «Mirrorland» which will be released worldwide through Mighty Music on the 20th of April 2018 on Cd and digital.
