For music fans everywhere, a new album by legendary Yes singer Jon Anderson is cause for celebration. But Anderson’s grand and glorious new solo album, “1000 Hands”, is quite unlike any other record – it’s an event, one which the singer’s loyal legion of fans across the globe have been wildly anticipating for three decades.

Following the recent release of their gorgeously energetic single “Rumour”, 80s synth-pop outfit Kyros have revealed “Phosphene”, the brand new video single drawn from the band’s forthcoming studio album, “Celexa Dreams”!

With the album arriving on June 19th, 2020, via White Star Records, Kyros’ latest single offers another look into the full experience, this time with a dense, textural track that adopts a more deliberate pace into deep, ballad-esque territories.

“Invisible” is the second solo album by California born but Indiana based drummer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Nick D’Virgilio (NDV) and comes almost two decades after his debut solo offering. NDV describes his new record as “a collection of songs that make up the story of a man who is unhappy with where his life has ended up. He finally decides to take the scary step of leaving everything behind so he can go and find the meaning of his life”.

Voyager have announced that their headline tour in May has been rescheduled for February 2021 in light of the Coronavirus crisis.

Louise Patricia Crane launches the spellbinding single “Snake Oil” culled from her forthcoming album, “Deep Blue” across all digital platforms.

The singer and songwriter’s commanding presence is complemented on this track by luminaries including Jakko Jakszyk (King Crimson), Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) and Scott Reeder (Kyuss / The Obsessed).

Like many artists, Cellar Darling have been hit hard by the Coronavirus pandemic and the associated lockdown measures and show cancellations. Rather than giving in or just asking for money without offering something in return, they’ve announced a campaign where they will provide exclusive content to fans straight from their own homes and rehearsal space, culminating in a live-streamed performance at Lucerne’s Soundfarm Studio.
 

Pushing the boundaries of songwriting and musical experimentation, London-based pop-infused prog rock outfit Kyros have recently announced their signing to White Star Records!

Home to a broad spectrum of prog rock acts such as Quantum Pig, Voices From The Fuselage and The Paradox Twin, White Star Records (comprised of singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer John Mitchell and Chris Hillman, owner and founder of Magick Eye Records) welcomes the quartet as they gear up to release new music later in the year.
 

Genesis have announced a reunion tour. Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks are reforming to play 10 dates in the UK and Ireland in late 2020.

Prog first reported the rumour the band might be working together when they were spotted at a New York Knicks game in January.

Italian music artist Annie Barbazza is releasing her first solo album “Vive” on February 29th, 2020 on Dark Companion Records. She was a young drummer in love with progressive rock when Greg Lake discovered her talent as a singer and wanted her on stage with him for the concert which would later become the posthumous “Live in Piacenza”.

Today, the Swiss Prog Metallers Cellar Darling unveil the new lyric video for “Love Pt II” from their latest album “The Spell”.
