The British prog rockers Marillion will start with a new album at the beginning of 2022. “An Hour Before It’s Dark” is the name of the band’s 20th studio album, the successor to their orchestral album “Marillion With Friends From The Orchestra” from 2019.
In September, the band announced: “The recording process has now been completed and Michael Hunter will start mixing in the next few days. As a collection of songs, it sounds very strong. We are all five very excited about what we have created, and Lucy [Jordache, manager] says, “it surpasses FEAR”. A real praise.«
Six new songs have been recorded by Steve Hogarth (lead and backing vocals, keyboards), Steve Rothery (lead and rhythm guitars), Mark Kelly (keyboards), Pete Trewavas (bass, background vocals) and Ian Mosley (drums) for “An Hour Before It’s Dark” at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios. The result is an album about the problems and opportunities of our time and, according to Hogarth, is musically rich and perhaps her most optimistic work for many years.
