Molten Trail is an international musical project founded by Lithuanian keyboard player Vytautas Diškevicius.
Although its debut album was completed in 2014, the preparation actually began years earlier.
For many years, Diškevicius experimented with his creative ideas while playing keyboards for a number of leading
groups in Lithuania’s local rock and metal scene, with his first international breakthrough coming with the goth
metal band Ruination.
Later on, he collaborated with the established heavy rockers SBS, joined the newer heavy/power act Soul Stealer,
participated in a one-off backing band for John Lawton (former frontman of Uriah Heep), and worked with the
Vilnius City Opera company in rearranging classical arias for a rock band.
As a composer, he strayed onto a mellower path when he provided the music for Nomads in the Night, which was
selected as Lithuania’s entry for the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest.
For the project’s debut album, Striving for the Sky, the mastermind himself undertook the guitar and bass roles
in addition to his usual keyboard duties, while Germany‘s Martin Miller and Sweden‘s Rick Lang, both proficient
session musicians, provided the guitar solos and drum parts respectively.
Lending their voices to the work were American rock singer Steven Mesropian and two Swedish vocalists: Rob
Lundgren and, most notably, Erik “Ez” Blomkvist (of Platitude, Seven Thorns, and Dreamscape fame).
This collaboration led to the recording of eight songs, totaling fifty minutes in duration and spanning genres
such as keyboard-laden neoclassical, progressive, and power metal, as well as incorporating an 80s-tinged
element of melodic hard rock.
The resulting album set the characteristic direction for the project’s future work while reserving the creative
license to undertake other stylistic adventures.
