ASIA have released a video for their track Valkyrie – the first to feature guitarist Sam Coulson, who replaced Steve Howe in the prog supergroup last year. View the promo below.

Coulson, who was 25 at the time, came on the recommendation of Mr. Big’s Paul Gilbert after Howe decided to concentrate on his Yes and solo activities.

Gravitas, the band’s first album with the new line-up, is released on March 21 via Frontiers Records.

Frontman John Wetton has called the work “pure, unadulterated and stereotypical ASIA, with raw energy, enthusiasm and free from impurities”.

Drummer Carl Palmer recently commented: “The addition of Sam allowed us to take the band in a slightly different, and perhaps tougher, direction. We’ve been able to grow, while at the same time remaining true to the classic sound that our fans know and love.”

A deluxe edition of the album includes two bonus acoustic tracks and a DVD featuring documentary, live tracks and the Valkyrie video, with more contents to be confirmed.
