Product Description
Introduction: Marillion, the British band that emerged during the dark ages of progressive rock in the 1980s and achieved great success, has released a new album. Recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, this album is relentlessly beautiful, emotional, progressive, and profound. Progressive rock, which flourished in the 1970s, began to struggle in the 1980s. Many established bands disbanded or sought a way out with more commercially viable styles, forcing a period of great change. It was during this time that Marillion emerged from the UK. However, they defied the headwinds of the times, pursuing a grandiose and mystical sound. And they became saviors of the dark ages of progressive rock. Their third album, "Memories of Mistakes," released in 1985, reached number one on the UK charts, and they gained immense popularity, becoming one of the most successful progressive rock bands of the 1980s. The total sales of their works released to date exceed 15 million copies. Marillion is releasing their new album, "An Hour Before It's Dark." Recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios amidst the global pandemic, this album is, once again, deeply emotional and profound. The vocals, guitar melodies, piano, and choir are all beautiful. Many of the tracks are presented in suite form, making it a truly progressive and quintessential Marillion album. The title, "An Hour Before It's Dark," is a reference to our planet heading towards destruction due to environmental destruction. This is a must-listen album for Marillion and prog fans, and indeed for all rock fans.
