In January 2008, the band decided to part ways with their record label Metal Heaven for undisclosed reasons. They are currently searching for a new record deal. Songs for a new album have been written which had originally been planned for release in late 2007; as soon a new contract with a record company is signed, work on the planned release will continue.
In the same month, bass player Marko Pukkila parted ways with the band after a disagreement concerning the split with Metal Heaven. His replacement is Ex-Terrowheel bass player and current Alteria vocalist Marco Lupenero. This means that the only original member still active with Altaria is Tony Smedjebacka.
Altaria have toured with the likes of Nightwish and Sonata Arctica.
Current Members:
Marco Lupenero - Vocals, Bass (2006-Present)
Juha Pekka Alanen – Guitar (2005–present)
Petri Aho – Guitar (2004 (live), 2006–present)
Tony Smedjebacka – Drums (2000–present)
Unchain the Rain
Altaria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm right beside you just like thousand times before
I'm knocked at agony, I face a tragedy
That feeling, deceiving, that burning your soul
My kingdom come, my will be done
So join me fallen one
Together we'll unchain the rain
Escape the world into our sanctuary
There in my arms you'll be free
Your guilt I will justify
I'll make you mine to have, to hold and embrace
A spark of mystery, the dark discovery
In your laws, my greatest victory
Closer a part, to offer hearts
Let us share the stars
Drown your sorrow to my endless sea
Together we'll unchain the rain
Escape the light into my sanctuary
There in my arms you'll be free
So may times we have been fallen
So many times I've heard you swearing that we're through
As many times you have come crawling
Cause no one else can ease your pain the way I do
We'll drown our sorrow to this endless sea
Together we'll unchain the rain
Escape the light into our sanctuary
There in my arms you'll be free
We'll drown our sorrow to this endless sea
Together we'll unchain the rain
And share our secret night-time fantasy
Together in forever sleep

My soundtrack to escape this terrible place known as society.
Great song.
Metalhead since age 12 and I get really emotional when I hear something so epic, literally was in tears.
A song to wave adios to this terrible Hellhole of a planet.
Thanks for sharing.
