Door de Brexit komen titels die uit de UK afkomstig zijn nog altijd
met vertraging binnen. Soms valt het mee en duurt het slechts 2-3
weken, maar het komt helaas ook voor dat we 4 weken of meer moeten
wachten. We doen ons best om alles zo goed en snel mogelijk te
regelen, maar het blijft lastig...

Omschrijving | "THE BEST ALBUM THAT GENESIS NEVER MADE".
The Book of Revelations announce the release of
their brand-new, 7-track debut album ‘The Plumes
of Enceladus’ on the Conquest Music label.
The album has attracted interest across the globe,
following as it does in the wake of their
acclaimed digital EP release ‘The Prologue’, which
tasted like fresh manna from heaven to lovers of
1970s’ Progressive Rock.
Many listeners believed that The Book of
Revelations was actually an undiscovered band from
the golden era of prog, as the recordings have
vintage analogue charm whilst the songwriting
harks back to earlier, imaginative lyricism,
unlike the fare of today. This beautifully
recorded, mixed and mastered CD will thus blend in
seamlessly with your Genesis and Yes album
collection.
The Book of Revelations is the musical vehicle for
the prolific multi-instrumentalist, wordsmith and
composer, Gerard Freeman. The project fuses prog,
rock, orchestral and folk music with witty
lyricism and poetry. In the band’s work, you’ll
find ludicrous time signatures and complex rhythms
accompanying orchestral and acoustic layers. These
underpin and create amazing feeling and magic that
weaves with lyrics that pirouette gracefully
between references to Classical Mythology and 21st
Century modernity.
Unquestionably, The Book of Revelations owe a debt
of gratitude to some of the greatest proponents of
progressive rock: Genesis (particularly the
legendary Peter Gabriel-led incarnation of the
group). Genesis’s sound was so wonderfully
complex, beautiful, intense, interesting and
diverse. By osmosis, it has entered and shaped the
musical DNA of The Book of Revelations, who
continue the tradition and take it forward with
original work.
Gerard Freeman explains, “At a very tender age, I
heard ‘The Return of the Giant Hogweed’ emanating
from my brother’s bedroom and it sparked an
interest in early Genesis and progrock in general
that has persisted over the years.
“Steeped as I was, at the time, in MOR pop music
(the staple diet of TOTP, back in the day), I
might have naively said at the time ‘But the words
don’t rhyme!’ but something changed and I found
myself being drawn to the weird and wonderful
sonic worlds created by the likes of Genesis,
Curved Air, Gentle Giant, Yes, and King Crimson —
to name just a few of the bands whose images
adorned the walls of my brother’s bedroom.”
Drawing on such fertile roots and influences, The
Book of Revelations have crafted fresh, new work
of complexity, humour and rich texture that they
are proud to describe as Progressive Rock.
