Artist News: Melodic Revolution Records Signs John Orr Franklin

Posted on Monday, April 11 @ 15:15:00 UTC by nightowl

Newly signed, Melodic Revolution Records recording artist, John Orr Franklin releases new digital single "Alpha And Omega."

In a statement from John Orr Franklin: In an effort to take the first single 'Alpha And Omega' to the next level, I brought on Gavin Harrison, drummer from the band Porcupine Tree, as a special guest on the song. Gavin is the drummer I had in mind when I was writing the demos for this album, so naturally the end result is a perfect fit that stays true to my original vision and then some."

Nearing completion of his third full length album, John has begun releasing a series of digital singles to determine the best possible format and packaging for the new release. Ultimately, feedback from the fans will determine the final format for the album. The band would very much like to see the project fully realized on a double vinyl LP with professional cover artwork and digital downloads. The band plans to use the proceeds from sales of the albums first digital singles and they are also planning a fan-based fundraiser on kickstater.com in order to see this dream into reality.

The new album, entitled Soldier On, is a science fiction based story that follows one soldier through his personal trials as he discovers his true identity within the grandeur of a universe that has suddenly gotten much smaller.

"Alpha and Omega" is now available at many popular Digital Distributors; iTunes, Amazon, emusic, Zune, Napster, Bandcamp, Melodic Revolution Records and others.
