CD/DVD Releases: Blackfield - ''Welcome To My DNA'' In Stores April 19

Posted on Sunday, April 10 @ 01:00:00 UTC by nightowl

Blackfield, the acclaimed collaboration between Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and Israeli artist Aviv Geffen, started their European tour April 6th in Leamington. This was the first of four dates in the UK before visiting Holland, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and France followed by an American tour in May and June.

Welcome To My DNA, the band's latest album will be released April 19th in the US [via K-Scope] (and is already in stores overseas). The album entered the UK indie chart at #17 and has been getting great reviews. Classic Rock magazine has stated "when they come together they create something quite magical" and Metal Hammer has described it as "thing of fragile beauty" while Rocksound rates the album as "Blackfield's finest hour."

A new video of Aviv going through the album discussing it track-by-track has also been added to the Welcome To My DNA mini-site; Aviv was answering fan questions before April 8's show as well, the answers to which will be filmed and the video will be added to the Welcome To My DNA mini-site soon after.

The digi-book and vinyl editions of the album are all available to order on the Welcome To My DNA mini-site. The mini-site features album info, downloads and more along with the chance to download a free MP3 of the album's opening track "Glass House" when signing up to the mailing list.
