Click here!


Tuesday, May 27th 2008 - New singer announcement!

Vision Divine announce that the new singer will be officially presented on May 28th at the hour 22.00 (Italian time).

Those who will connect to the chat in www.truemetal.it (22.00-24.00 italian time), will have the chance to get the announcement directly from Olaf’s voice (or better to say “typing”). We remember you that the chat will be in Italian only and that rules to participate can be found on www.truemetal.it

Thursday, May 1st 2008

Hi guys, we know there are so many people out there just waiting for a name to be written in our website. We told you to be patient and wait until May 1st, but we must ask you to be a little more patient.

As you can imagine, we don't want to do things in a hurry, as there is no need to do things in a wrong way. Everything is done, but before we can officially announce the name, we still need to check and fix some last small things regarding the legal aspects of this announcement (this only means we are completing the new contract involving the new singer, of course), as - this is the only thing we can tell you - the guy won't be a sessionist, but will permanently join Vision Divine.

Those who have a band surely know that this aspect means PAIN, and time. Please be a little more patient. The new will come out in a few more days (could even be hours), once everything is done and ready, and we'll all be able to focus on music only.

Just to let you know, the new album is almost ready. Hoping this might make you feel a little less "angry" at us, here's the title of the opening song from the new album:

"9 Degrees West of the Moon"

Thank you for understanding, and keep in touch: Good news are coming soon!

Stay Divine


Friday, April 25th 2008

Any scheduled activity will be accomplished, and there won’t be any delay in our plans.
The new singer will be announced on May 1st .

Please stay tuned for more news in the forthcoming days.


Thursday, April 24th 2008

Michele Luppi is no longer singing with Vision Divine.

Beside any speculation which could be done regarding the truth behind all this,  we simply believe it was the right time to both make the right choice. We wish Michele all the best with his future and we thank him for the great time we had together


Sunday, March 23rd 2008 - A present...

Generally those who have a birthday are the ones who get a present, but in this case we’ll do things inside out, and here there’s a present for you all:
HEAVEN CALLING / ASCENSION in its original UNCUT version (long version). Of course, it’s a rough mix not-mastered one, but we’re still pretty sure you’ll enjoy it.
You can download it in the Multimedia - Audio section.
Ciao!

Vision Divine

We’re glad to inform   you that Federico will be able to play on our
next show in Pisa dated December 15th.
His problems with his forearm and his tendonitis are healed and
about to disappear, the recovery went very well.
We are totally positive that there won’t be any bad surprises!

We’ll be there waiting for you all in order to give him a
huge “Welcome Back On Stage”!

Wednesday, november 07th 2007

"Due to a big problem related with his tendonitis, Federico Puleri is
unable to follow the band on the South American Tour. The problem was known since the Asian shows, but the band decided to try anything possible to solve it. Unfortunately the problem didn't get solved and became even bigger, so the doctor ordered him a full month of rest, and it has been decided not to risk his health. No substitute will be taken, and Olaf will play the South American shows alone.
After this tour Federico will be back, fully recovered, healthy and ready to be on stage again for the next shows... our best wishes to Federico!"

Friday, October 26th 2007

While the band is getting ready to start the South American Tour,
it’s kinda curious to know that Olaf already started the songwriting for
the follower of “THE 25TH HOUR”.
There is no need to rush at all, but as 2008 will be the 10th anniversary
of Vision Divine, and after the 3 successful albums in a row,
the band is willing to focus at its best in order to realize
not only a decent follower but the best album
ever released from the band.
This will take time, and as you all well know…La vita fugge! Stay Divine
