Ils ont signé chez Metal Blade et enregistré le 6ème album (sans Bernie Versailles) :

REDEMPTION complete new album and sign to Metal Blade Records
Progressive metal act Redemption have completed recording a new album and signed with Metal Blade Records! The band is helmed by Nick van Dyk (guitars, keyboards), and includes legendary prog vocalist Ray Alder (Fates Warning, Engine), bassist Sean Andrew and drummer Chris Quirarte, as well as guitarist Bernie Versailles, who is presently on a medical leave of absence from the band.

Nick van Dyk comments on signing with Metal Blade: "We are incredibly fired up to join the Metal Blade family. Brian and his team have been friends for years and many of them have been supporters of the band from early days, and the influence of Brian and his label on the history of heavy music is indelible. We're working with friends who are passionate about the music and who are and some of the best in the world at what they do - Redemption is really excited about our collaborations to come!"
With the new record, Redemption is returning from a longer than usual break - van Dyk explains: "We've taken the longest break between records in our history, for a number of reasons. But we are excited to return with what I honestly believe may represent the best record thus far in our career. We are just putting the finishing touches on it now. The songs are unmistakably Redemption, with the combination of energy, urgency, melody and heaviness that marks all of our work. But the songwriting and performances have been taken up a notch across the board. The music ranges from short, hard-hitting power/prog to sprawling epics, including the longest song we've ever recorded. The album is being mixed as we speak and we’re very excited for our fans to hear it!"

Finally, Redemption would like to update everyone on the status of Bernie Versailles: "This is also the first record we have done without the involvement of our dear friend and bandmate Bernie Versailles, who is recovering from the aneurism he suffered last October. We are thrilled with his progress but his road to recovery is going to be a long one. After numerous conversations with Bernie, his family and close friends, we have collectively decided that Bernie's recovery should be directed by what is needed to fully restore his physical well being, not by the needs of this band. Bernie is a founding member of this band and his place will be kept for him while he is on extended medical leave. We have been fortunate to have a tremendous guitarist step in, as well as a couple of other special guests. I look forward to announcing these gusts in the coming week as the album is finalized. The guitar playing on this record is insane - and I think fans of a particular band are going to have their mind absolutely blown and can't wait for the big reveal!"

New music and more details surrounding the band's sixth album and follow up to 2011's "This Mortal Coil" will be released in the coming weeks.

Voilà les infos sur le nouvel album :

On February 26th, Los Angeles prog-metal outfit Redemption - featuring Nick van Dyk, Ray Alder (Fates Warning, Engine), Sean Andrews, and Chris Quirarte (as well as guitarist Bernie Versailles, who is presently on an indefinite medical hiatus) - will release their sixth full-length, The Art Of Loss, via Metal Blade Records worldwide. The album is available for pre-order now in various formats here. Watch the lyric video for the first single "Damaged”, featuring guest guitarist Marty Friedman, below.

Containing over 70 minutes of their unique blend of passion, melody, aggression and complexity, The Art Of Loss was produced once again by Tommy Hansen (Helloween, Pagan's Mind, Pretty Maids, etc.), who worked with the band on 2009's Snowfall On Judgment Day. The cover artwork was also created by long-time Redemption collaborator Travis Smith (Opeth, Amorphis).

Musically, The Art of Loss follows its predecessor (2011's This Mortal Coil), but their newest work finds composition, musicianship and production taken up another notch, with an array of songs ranging from hard-hitting melodic metal to the 23-minute epic "At Day's End" - plus, special guest appearances from Chris Broderick, John Bush, Marty Friedman, Simone Mularoni and Chris Poland.

Un peu deçu par le petit dernier mais j'attends celui là avec impatience et ce titre est vraiment bon.A quand en concert en france ????? (avec Fates warning !!!! )

[Everflow]

Reprise de ma chanson préférée des Who incluse. Avec John Bush au chant au lieu de Ray Alder, ce qui est en effet plus cohérent.
Je remarque aussi que Chris Poland joue sur pratiquement tout l'album, c'est sans doute lié à l'absence de Bernie Versailles.

[Cruchot jr]

Du tout bon, ça promet.
J'ai découvert le groupe il y a deux mois, en pleine période Fates Warning, et 'Snowfall on Judgment day' est une tuerie, et me permet d'oublier le Symphony X de ces dernières années 'Walls' et 'What will you say' recèlent une puissance émotionnelle qui transperce ma carapace et me fait planer comme rarement les groupes réussissent à le faire.
Si un autre album est supérieur à celui cité ci-dessus, je suis preneur.

[Father_Picard]

Ma préférence va à Snowfall, le second album (le premier avec Adler) avait fait son effet dans le "milieu" à l' époque et reste une référence malgré ses nombreuses longueurs. Le dernier était une déception, notamment avec une prod ratée, je l' avais acheté les yeux fermés en édition limitée

[True Belief]

Je reste un fan de The Fullness Of Time (2éme album du groupe et premier avec Alder au chant).
Un album fabuleux.

Ensuite The Origins Of Ruins (avec notamment le sublime Memory) est un excellent album différent de TFOT mais vraiment bon.

Le Live qui suit Frozen in The Moment est bien sympa pour découvrir le groupe.

Puis vint Snowfall On Judgment Day, autre perle du groupe.(Love Kills Us All / Life in One Day ).

This Mortal coil est le seul (avec le tout premier album) album du groupe qui m'a déçu.Compos, production...

Le live d’après (Live From The Pit), pas écouté.

Mais le petit dernier s'annonce extraordinaire !!!

Ray Alder se barre.

Remplacé par une autre star du genre, Tom Englund!

Vu qu'ils ne tournent jamais ou presque, ça ne devrait pas poser de problèmes logistiques.

REDEMPTION, the U.S. progressive metal band led by guitarist/songwriter Nick Van Dyk, has parted ways with FATES WARNING vocalist Ray Alder and has replaced him with EVERGREY's Tom Englund.

REDEMPTION's current lineup — which is rounded out by Sean Andrews (bass) and Chris Quirarte (drums) — has finished recording its seventh full-length album, "Long Night's Journey Into Day", for an early 2018 release via Metal Blade. The disc was produced by Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, PRIMAL FEAR, AMARANTHE, DORO) and once again features guest appearances by guitarists Chris Poland (MEGADETH, OHM:) and Simone Mularoni (DGM).

"We are delighted to welcome Tom as the voice of REDEMPTION", said Van Dyk. "He has an incredibly powerful, soulful and emotional voice that our music really demands and we are quite confident that people will be blown away by what we have created together."

REDEMPTION will headline next year's edition of the ProgPower USA festival, set to take place September 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Je viens de voir ça par hasard en voyant l'affiche du prochain progpower us...

ça va me faire tout drôle de ne plus entendre LA VOIX de Redemption en la personne du phénoménal Ray Alder!

Il continuera (j’espère) longtemps au sein de Fates Warning !!! et d'autres projets j'imagine.

Curieux également d'entendre la voix d'Englund (en plein retour gagnant avec Evergrey) avec les compos de

Redemption.

Avec peut-être une chance qu'ils passent un jour en France cette fois ci...

Visiblement pas de doutes sur l'avenir d'Evergrey, le mastermind d'Evergrey devrait pouvoir sans problèmes gerer les 2 groupes (comme tu le soulignais Everflow),au vu des rares concerts de Redemption.

A suivre.

[Everflow]

L'album (à noter que le claviériste est une star des réseaux sociaux pour ses reprises metal au piano) :

REDEMPTION, the U.S. progressive metal band led by guitarist/songwriter Nick Van Dyk, will release its seventh full-length album, "Long Night's Journey Into Day", on July 27 via Metal Blade. The disc was produced by Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, PRIMAL FEAR, AMARANTHE, DORO).

The follow-up to 2016's "The Art Of Loss", which Van Dyk counts amongst REDEMPTION's very best, "Long Night's Journey Into Day" is inarguably the sound of a band at the height of its powers. As followers of REDEMPTION are also aware, it is the first full-length since the departure of vocalist Ray Alder, and features the debut of EVERGREY vocalist Tom Englund.

"We were unable to tour 'The Art Of Loss' because Ray was not able to actively participate in REDEMPTION any longer, so we decided it was time to part company shortly after its release," says Van Dyk. "Ray is a dear friend, and I have nothing but respect and love for him and what we created together. But at some point, it just became untenable."

Of course, Alder's shoes were not exactly going to be easy to fill, and it was essential that his successor be someone who would immediately command respect, as well as somebody who could exceed expectations when it came to performance. Moreover, it was integral that they had someone who could fully invest in the lyrical themes concerning the human condition, which have always been central to REDEMPTION. So, the fact that from the beginning of his career Englund has penned lyrics about feelings of doubt, fear and despair with an unshakable emotional authenticity made him the perfect choice.

"Because of the power of his voice and the emotion he brings, this isn't going to be a shocking transition for fans," says Van Dyk. "Tom's also a very versatile vocalist, and being a songwriter, he has a tremendous melodic and compositional sensibility, and on top of that, we've known each other for many years, and there is a level of not just professional respect but personal friendship to it all."

Guitarists Chris Poland (MEGADETH, OHM:) and Simone Mularoni (DGM) return as guest musicians. When it came to backing up the music with visuals, the band once again turned to a longtime collaborator, Travis Smith, whose humbling resumé includes records by bands such as ACT OF DEFIANCE, OPETH and ICED EARTH.

"Long Night's Journey Into Day" track listing:

01. Eyes You Dare Not Meet In Dreams
02. Someone Else's Problem
03. The Echo Chamber
04. Impermanent
05. Indulge In Color
06. Little Men
07. And Yet
08. The Last Of Me
09. New Year's Day
10. Long Night's Journey Into Day

As previously announced, REDEMPTION will appear at ProgPower USA 2018, with more dates coming soon.

REDEMPTION is:

Tom Englund - Vocals
Nick Van Dyk - Guitars
Sean Andrews - Bass
Chris Quirarte - Drums
Vikram Shankar - Keyboards

En pré commande sur Amazon... J'ai hâte de l'écouter. Et une fois de plus si Redemption pouvait passer un jour par la France...

[Everflow]

Pour l'écouter :



avec même une reprise de U2!

[True Belief]

Magnifique album ! Très mélodique, moins complexe que le Redemption du début mais une évolution en douceur, avec des solos superbes et des gros riffs. L'excellente surprise c'est Englund qui colle parfaitement au style actuel du groupe (et comme d'habitude un sacré chanteur). Maintenant il reste à l'entendre avec l'ensemble du répertoire du groupe et bien sûr avec les morceaux de Adler. De toutes façons peu de chance d'apprécier Redemption version Englund en live en France...

Quand à la reprise de U2, je l'aime beaucoup !

[Cruchot jr]

Pour le moment j'ai vraiment du mal à entrer dans cette œuvre, alors que les trois précédents albums m'avaient plus dès la première écoute (et me plaisent toujours, d'ailleurs). Le changement de chanteur n'est nullement en cause, les riffs et l'ambiance (déjà ressentie) ne me transportent pas actuellement...

[Everflow]

Nouveau single.
Pas convaincu...

[Cruchot jr]

Déçu par le précédent album, où j'y trouvais trop de redites avec les autres, ce single me donne au contraire envie de guetter la sortie de cette nouvelle œuvre.
