Manchester (UK) progressive metallers Spires have launched a Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign for their forthcoming full length album, entitled The Whisperer. This will be the follow up to 2010s critically acclaimed Spiral of Ascension, and 2012s equally praised acoustic mini-album Lucid Abstractions. The album is planned for an early November release, with the Kickstarter campaign ending on 4th October.
The album will initially be a limited edition run of 500 copies, on 6 panel digipak, featuring extensive artwork by Daniella Morrison, and a full lyric booklet. The 7 track release will feature over an hour of progressive metal, and expands upon the foundations laid on the bands previous releases. This album is going to be even more expansive and wide reaching, vocalist / guitarist Paul Sadler explains, with more varied instrumentation including cello, violin, piano and female vocals, as well as a guest spot on guitar from Tymon Kruidenier from Exivious / ex Cynic The overall dynamics are pushed to further extremes in both directions. Were all extremely excited about how its sounding.
He continues, We decided to launch a Kickstarter campaign to give us that helping hand to produce a physical product thats really worth having. In this day and age we feel this is necessary to convince people its worth parting with their hard earned cash for something you have created.
The band are also producing a limited run of T-shirts to coincide with the release, featuring artwork from the album, also available through Kickstarter. A small UK tour is also in the pipeline for the end of the year. They play a one off show alongside Falloch and Jordan Reyne on 17th September at The Flapper in Birmingham.
