Progressive Savage

Transatlantic flies again - yeah!

Well, according to InsideOut prog super-band Transatlantic begun work on their new, third, studio album. If all is good the album should see the daylight before the year ends. Say what you want, but I do like Transatlantic and I’m waiting impatiently for their new release.

From InsideOut note:

PROGRESSIVE ROCK SUPERGROUP REUNITES FOR NEW STUDIO ALBUM.

POSSIBLE LATE 2009 RELEASE PLANNED.

TRANSATLANTIC, the progressive rock “supergroup” comprised of Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Pete Trewavas (Marillion), Roine Stolt (The Flower Kings) and Neal Morse (ex-Spock’s Beard), have reunited after a 7 year hiatus to begin work on a brand new studio album.

The band began work on the album in early April in Nashville and are expected to have it released by year’s end if all goes as planned.

TRANSATLANTIC have previously released two studio albums to tremendous critical and fan acclaim: 2000’s SMPTe and 2001’s Bridge Across Forever. The band toured on the heels of each release with an American Tour in 2000 and a European Tour in 2001 and released subsequent Live DVD’s/CD’s from both tours before going their separate ways for an indefinite hiatus which lasted almost the entire decade.
