It was sometime in '92/'93, when Vitalij Kuprij, who was
studying classical music in Switzerland at that time, met
Roger Staffelbach, a Swiss guitarist who was also studying
at the Jazz School in Lucerne.
They soon founded their band "Atlantis Rising", which
played several instrumental gigs in Switzerland. After
having recorded some demos, they got in touch with Mike
Varney of Shrapnel Records, who showed great interest in
the band but suggested to add some vocal lines to their
songs.
Vitalij had already known stunning drummer Mike Terrana
from one of Yngwie Malmsteen's tours. His friend, bassist
Kevin Chown, also joined the band and enriched their sound
with solid experience and great musicianship, and Artension
was born.
