ASIA, the legendary British band, moves into the next phase of its extraordinary career with Gravitas, a brave new album that explores different musical landscapes while embracing its familiar musical past.

Produced and written by band members John Wetton and Geoff Downes, Gravitas is deeply introspective within a clearly accessible sound. The album also introduces the world to ASIA's new guitarist, Sam Coulson, who came at the recommendation of MR. BIG’s Paul Gilbert.

Scheduled for release via Frontiers Records on March 5th (Japan), March 21st (Europe), and March 25th (North America), the album will be available in two configurations: a standard CD and a Deluxe Edition, that will include two bonus tracks and a DVD containing the 'Valkyrie' music video, a promotional film, and footage of classic live ASIA tracks such as 'Heat Of The Moment', recorded with the Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra in Bulgaria.

From the title track, 'Gravitas', which chronicles a man's struggle in the battlefield of life, to the powerfully compelling tale of unrequited love, 'The Closer I Get To You', the album is a tour de force for the band whose music has become a staple to rock fans.
