Music fans will be ecstatic at the prospect of seeing three of the most interesting prog rock acts of recent years at one and the same event. The Tangent have earned themselves a faithful following with their mix of progressive music and neo-Canterbury and are now ready to present their latest release, Not As Good As The Book live. Fans will be eager to find out how The Tangent mastermind Andy Tillison will integrate into the programme the short novel that was released along with the band's current CD. Ritual from Sweden are ready to tour at last to promote their highly acclaimed album, The Hemulic Voluntary Band. Vocalist Patrik Lundstr?m is looking forward to presenting the new album in its entirety outside Sweden for the first time.



Last but not least, Beardfish are interesting prog newcomers who will bring out their new album, Sleeping In Traffic: Part Two, on time for the tour.

The new Frost* album will be called Experiments In Mass Appeal and is scheduled for October 2008. The band is also scheduled for RoSFest 2009 over the weekend of May 1 - 3.

Saga announce new singer - as we've previously announced on this page, Rob Moratti is the new singer in Saga.

InsideOut Music signs Amaseffer from Israel: InsideOut Music is proud to announce the signing of the Israeli band Amaseffer. Their first album entitled Slaves For Life is the first in a trilogy about the history of the people of Israel as portrayed in the old testament.

Hanan Avramovich (Guitars), Yuval Kramer (Guitars) and Erez Yohanan (Drums) offer an unique mixture of Progressive Metal and epic Middle East influenced orchestral film score parts played by a full Symphony Orchestra. All lead vocals were sung by Mats Leven (Therion, Yngwie Malmsteen). Special guest is Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy).

The album was recorded and mixed by Markus Teske (Vanden Plas, Abydos, Saga live) and the artwork was done by Mattias Nor?n (Evergrey, Kamelot, Epica). Because of their excellent musicianship, a big Vgames company have decided to sign the band members for writing music for their computer games. Another reference is the music of the new Israeli film Altalena for which they wrote the soundtrack.

Slaves For Life will be released on June 6th in Germany, Austria, Switzerland; June 9th in Europe; and June 24th in North America.
