Date: 2018-08-06 ▓ █ ▒ ▒ Genre: Progressive Rock ▒ ▒ █▄ ░ Label: Oskar / Avalon Records ░ ▄█ ░ █▄ ░ Source: CD ░ ▄█ ░ █▓ Type: Album ▓█ ░ ▓ █ Quality: VBR, 44.1kHz, Joint Stereo █ ░ ▓ ▓ █ █ ░ ▓ ▄ ■ ■ ▓ ■ ░█ █░ ▀ █ We at Galahad Towers are very pleased and proud to █ █ announce the release of our new studio album æSeas █ █ of ChangeÆ, which is the follow up to the 2017 █ █ æQuiet StormsÆ album which contained fifteen █ █ short(ish) tracks and was a much more mellow █ █ affair whereas æSeas of ChangeÆ is the polar █ █ opposite and consists of just one forty three █ █ minute track, which twists and turns creating, █ █ what we think is, a full on no holds barred █ █ prog/rock rollercoaster of an album. █ █ æSeas of ChangeÆ is a kind of hybrid in terms of █ █ musical style, featuring more traditional, █ █ occasionally pastoral, elements reminiscent of the █ █ æolderÆ Galahad sound whilst also incorporating █ █ the heavier guitar and more modern ætechnoÆ █ █ keyboard sounds of the last few studio albums. █ █ æSeas of ChangeÆ is also the first album to █ █ feature Lee Abraham on all guitars following his █ █ re-joining of the band in the Spring of 2017. Lee █ █ is already familiar to the band and a fully paid █ █ up part of the Galahad family having been the █ █ bandÆs bass player from 2005 to 2009 and appearing █ █ on one of their most critically and commercially █ █ successful albums æEmpires Never LastÆ as well as █ █ on a couple of live albums. █ █ We feel that Lee has added his own stamp and █ █ expanded the Galahad sound palette whilst still █ █ retaining the Galahad feel and overall sound. █ █ æSeas of ChangeÆ is also Tim AshtonÆs first █ █ appearance on a Galahad album containing █ █ completely brand new material since he appeared on █ █ æNothing Is Writtenæ back in 1990! █ █ As ever the album was pulled together mixed and █ █ mastered by engineer/producer extraordinaire Karl █ █ Groom (Threshold/Dragonforce/Pendragon/Arena etc.) █ █ at Thin Ice Studios in Surrey. █ █ Musically, æSeas of ChangeÆ features just the five █ █ main Galahad members plus long term honorary █ █ member Sarah Bolter who makes an appearance on █ █ flute, clarinet and soprano sax. █ ▓ ▓ ▒ ▒ ░ 1.
