CIVILIZATION ONE Add ex-NECROPHAGIST guitarist to lineup!
CIVILIZATION ONE are pleased to announce the addition of Christian Münzner (MAJESTY; ex-NECROPHAGIST) as a 2nd lead guitarist. Chris is a neoclassical shred monster who will add another dimension to the CIVILIZATION ONE musical attack.

The band's new songwriting necessitated adding another guitarist to the fold, as it would have been impossible for a single guitarist to perform all of the parts live. Now the band will have the classic two guitar lineup which they envisioned since their formation -- with an emphasis on dueling leads -- as exemplified by such heavy metal greats JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDEN, NEVERMORE, and ARCH ENEMY. CIVILIZATION ONE will no longer have a keyboard player in the band.

REVOLUTION RISING RELEASE PARTY
CIVILIZATION ONE, the international neoclasical power metal band which features in its ranks vocalist Chity Somapala (ex-FIREWIND, AVALON), guitarist Aldo Lanobile (SECRET SPHERE), drummer Luca Cartasegna (ex-SECRET SPHERE), and bassist Pierre-Emmanuel Pélisson (MALADAPTIVE; ex-HEAVENLY), will be having their record release show on Friday, September 21, 2007 at The Exhaus in Trier, Germany. The group will be celebrating the release of their debut album, "Revolution Rising" (out now in Europe on Metal Heaven Records; it will be released by Spiritual Beast Records in Japan on September 26th, and include the bonus track "Out In The Rain".

CIVILIZATION ONE will be performing live the "Revolution Rising" album in its entirety. Also on the bill will be one of the best METALLICA tribute bands, MORETALLICA, banging out all of the METALLICA classics, as well as local favorites THE MIST and STATEMENT OF CLAIM (who won the "The Local Hero young bands battle". Doors open at 20:00, with first band on at 20:30. Admission is 12 Euro.

CIVILIZATION ONE is an international musical entity comprised of musicians from Sri Lanka, Italy, France, and Brazil. "Revolution Rising" is their debut release, an album which the band produced themselves and recorded at studios in France, Italy, and Germany, with mixing and mastering by Markus Teske (VANDEN PLAS, DOMINICI, SYMPHONY X) at Bazement Studios in Germany. "Revolution Rising" features 10 songs, including "Life Of Agony," "Legends Of The Past (Carry On), and "Time Will Tell."

CIVILIZATION ONE was started by vocalist Chitral "Chity" Somapala (highly regarded for his work with AVALON, FIREWIND, FARO, MOONLIGHT AGONY and RED CIRCUIT) and guitarist Aldo Lanobile (whose band, SECRET SPHERE, released 2 albums on Nuclear Blast Records). Chity and Aldo wanted to create a band that combined heavy, aggressive guitar riffs with the melodic sensibilities of classical music, and featured memorable vocal lines and choruses, such as those created by the legendary, classic bands of heavy metal.

The first person they asked to join their musical quest was drummer Luca Cartasegna, who had recorded 3 albums with Aldo in SECRET SPHERE. The next player on board was bassist Pierre-Emmanuel Pélisson, whom Chity was quite familiar with, as his former group, acclaimed French power metal act HEAVENLY, had toured with Chity's band at the time, AVALON. Chity knew that Pierre-Emmanuel would be the perfect player to hold own the bottom end with his aggressive bass playing style. The last piece of this musical puzzle was completed by keyboard player Jesper Stotz (who originally hails from Brazil). Chity had been in correspondence with Jesper over the years, and asked him to join the band as he knew that his virtuoso skills and compositional brilliance would enable them to explore all the different atmospheres that a band like CIVILIZATION ONE require.

With the band now in place that could achieve Chity and Aldo's musical vision, this musical unit set upon writing an album of timeless heavy metal with neoclassical, symphonic aggression. The band conducted extensive writing sessions in Germany and Italy, with Chity and Aldo creating the main framework, and the rest of the band contributing their unique talents to the compositions.

After they had finished writing the album, the band knew that they had surpassed all of their original aspirations for CIVILIZATION ONE, evidence which will be heard by all on "Revolution Rising".
