After numerous tours as part of Avantasia, Rock Meets Classic and as mastermind of the successful Pink Floyd Tribute Echoes, singer and guitarist Oliver Hartmann now presents his fifth studio album, Shadows & Silhouettes, with Hartmann after nearly four years break since the latest release, Balance.

The new album will be released on September 30th on the artist owned label Sonic11 in cooperation with Pride & Joy Music.

Supported by guest musicians including session keyboardist Jimmy Kresic (Rock Meets Classic, The Roots, Soundtopia), Miro Rodenberg (Avantasia) and also the Prague cellist Irena Morisáková and violinist Adéla Pecková, the album contains 12 songs combining modern melodic rock with many acoustic and partly very intimate moments pointing up the broadness and complexity of Hartmann.

The catchy single “When Your Mama Was A Hippie” will also be released as video clip and instant grat on September 2nd.

Shadows & Silhouettes”was co-produced again by Sascha Paeth (Avantasia, Edguy, Kamelot, Beyond The Black, etc.) and mixed/mastered at Gate Studios in Wolfsburg, Germany. The iTunes version will include the bonus track “Soul Asylum”.
