Ethera is the fifth full-length album by AustrianSymphonic power metal band Visions of Atlantis. It was released on 25 March 2013. It is the last album to feature Mario Plank on male vocals, Maxi Nil on female vocals, Christian Hermsdörfer on guitars and Martin Harb on keyboards.
The album received mixed reviews. Metalstorm.net gives the album a 7 out of 10, stating: "They really push the line here between symphonic metal and straight up heavy metal, the riffs and rhythms are really paramount. High-energy rockers plus some slightly cheesy ballads make for a really nice flow here. It's a classic formula with fun, catchy melodies."[1] Metal-temple.com gives the album an 8 out of 10, stating: ""Ethera" finds Visions Of Atlantis at their best. What began on their last record has been solidified and perfected here. Front to back this is the best release of their career".[2] metaldivas.wordpress.com gives it 6.5 poibnts out of 10, stating: " In overall, an interesting and pleasant album with some great moments and good vocal lines but somehow it misses its target having little to no variety".[3]
