COHEED AND CAMBRIA Post Acoustic Version Of New Song Online

New Yorkers, COHEED AND CAMBRIA, are presently in the studio working on their sixth studio album.
Earlier this week, lead singer Claudio Sanchez "leaked" an acoustic version of the brand new song, "Sentry The Defiant", via YouTube.

"Instead of making you wait until the new album is released, I thought I'd share my excitement for this song with you now. I decided with this piece to video document it's creation."
"This is literally the first time I played the song through in its entirety."

The band is also giving away a free download to the audio of the song on their website.

Coheed & Cambria will tour this Summer with IRON MAIDEN in the US and Canada as part of the "Maiden England World Tour". The tour will closely mirror, in terms of production and content, MAIDEN's original 1988 concert video of the same name, shot on the "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son Tour".

Coheed & Cambria start their slot on the "Maiden England World Tour" on July 24th in Winnipeg and end it on August 18th in Houston.

DeeExpus Live Dates For 2012

GALAHAD To Release Their Brand New Album Shortly

The News from the GALAHAD camp is that their new album, "Battle Scars", is now 99.9% mixed.

Subject to a few minor adjustments, here and there, it will be mastered in the next couple of weeks or so.

It is all sounding very big, fat, heavy, dark, light, uplifting, rocking, dancing, progging, trancing, epic etc, etc...Karl Groom has really excelled himself with this recording totally capturing our vision for this album. In fact we all feel that is easily the best studio album we have ever recorded ( yes, I know we would say that but we really, really do!) in terms of song writing, performances, mixing, arrangements and pure sonic quality!Neil is an integral part of this recording and we are sure he would be very proud of what we have achieved with 'Battle Scars'. He's probably looking down on us right now telling us to get on with it!

The track listing is as follows...
1. Battle Scars
2. Reach for the Sun
3. Singularity
4. Bitter and Twisted
5. Suspended Animation
6. Beyond the Barbed Wire
7. Seize the Day
Bonus: Sleepers 2012

The album should be released by mid-April.

The Galahad track, 'Empires Never Last', will feature on a compilation entitled, 'Greatest Ever Prog Rock', which will be released on the Union Square imprint on the 2nd April 2012.

The album is a 3CD compilation featuring tracks from 40 bands from all eras of Prog including Yes, Camel, Curved Air, Rick Wakeman, Marillion, Colosseum, The Moody Blues, Uriah Heep, Twelfth Night, IQ and many others.

THE REASONING Announce Temporary Guitarist

THE REASONING have announced that due to the illness of Owain Roberts they have temporarily recruited Mr So & So's Dave Foster.

I am sure that you will join me in wishing Owain a speedy recovery and we hope to see him back with the band very soon.

"The Reasoning regret to announce that, due to illness, our guitarist - and dear friend - Owain will be taking several months' respite from the band. Our love and thoughts are with Owain and his family, and can we please ask that you respect their privacy at this time. We look forward to his return following his recovery.

In the meantime, we are very fortunate to be able to welcome our good friend Dave Foster (Mr So and So) into the fold, who will be standing in temporarily on guitar duties for The Reasoning during Owain's recuperation. Dave will be performing with us at our forthcoming showcase gig in London this April, and will also feature on our new album, which is due for release this year.

As always, we are hugely grateful for all of your support, enthusiasm and understanding: you mean the world to us. Despite these unhappy circumstances, we would like to reassure you that our plans for 2012 will still go ahead. Writing for album 4 is nearing completion, and is still on schedule for release via Esoteric/Antenna in September. More news on that in due course.

Owain, we're thinking of you: get well soon."
