Although the official release date is April 3rd, we have decided to let our customers have first shot at picking up Knight Area's second album "Under A New Sign". The discs just arrived and are now shipping.
The Dutch masters of prog return with their long awaited second album Under A New Sign. Three years ago Knight Area stunned the progressive rock world with their debut The Sun Also Rises. Knight Area creates epic symphonic rock in the vein of Genesis, Marillion, IQ, and Pendragon. Originally conceived as a studio project by the brothers Gerben and Joop Klazinga, Knight Area evolved into a touring band drawing quite a bit of attention in Europe. The band was honored to receive an invitation to perform in the US at Nearfest 2005, where they picked up many new fans.
Under A New Sign marks the first recordings of Knight Area as a true band, with other members having creative input. The bands installed fanbase need not worry the music is essentially the same but with some harder edge guitars. The new album should also appeal to fans of heavier progressive bands like Arena and Dream Theater.
"Under A New Sign" is the perfect blend of old school prog married to modern production techniques. The band's signature sound - Mellotrons, Hammond organ, and flute - dizzying lead synth and guitar interplay - it's here in spades! Noted mastering engineer Bob Katz gave the music an expansive and epic feel.
