Frontiers Records has announced the release of the second album from the Swedish aces of melodic rock WORK OF ART, entitled In Progress, on August 23rd in North America and August 26th in Europe.

Following the debut record, Art Work, Work Of Art have not been resting on laurels. While main songwriter and guitarist Robert Sall contributed heavily to the success of the W.E.T. project with Jeff Scott Soto and Erik Martensson and singer Lars Safsund kept busy singing on other projects, Work Of Art have been working hard to create the foundations of another amazing piece of music.

"A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into the making of this album and I think it shows. Maybe we didn’t change the formula all that much", tells Robert Sall, "but we certainly made sure to write, perform and produce at our very best and I think we’ve taken a huge step forward on In Progress."

And in reality, In Progress gives the melodic rock fans exactly what they’re looking for, with songs that stick in the ears from the first second and amazing musical licks. The new album shows three musicians who have matured a lot their abilities and gel together in a very natural way, presenting a sound which – still encompassing different influences – is now defined and recognizable as their own.

“This time we are definitely planning to play live in support of this record and we're set up for our live debut so, the wheels are in motion!”, promises Sall.

The first single, 'The Great Fall', will be exclusively distributed in Sweden through Sweden Rock Magazine in the issue that will hit the streets on July 19th. This special release will include two exclusive acoustic bonus tracks (unavailable elsewhere): 'Once Again' and 'Until You Believe'.
