Atlas is a Melodic Rock band from the North of England, i.e. James Thorley (Keyboards), John Moss (Lead Guitars), Howie Little (Lead Guitars), Chris Redfearn (Bass Guitar) and Craig Wells (Lead Vocals). The band was in 2017 with the intention to create a band that centered its roots around the AOR and Melodic Rock genre, whilst delving into other areas of Hard Rock, Metal and Progressive. Atlas drew heavily on influences stemming from the AOR classic standards of Toto and Journey, to the modern sounds of Work of Art or W.E.T., with subtle progressive elements of Dream Theatre. "Parallel Love" is the second album, it explores complicated and difficult themes in relationships, that aren?t often touched on in traditional AOR. 11 tracks that the band felt were more concise and stronger than previous efforts. The band chose to pursue a heavier edge for the album production, while staying true to their Melodic Rock and AOR roots.
