Artist News: Galileo Records Signs Daedalus, More...

Posted on Sunday, November 09 @ 02:00:00 UTC by nightowl

"Here is some fascinating news from Galileo Records, your prog and metal label from Switzerland: We are proud to announce that the fantastic Italian band Daedalus has been signed by Galileo Records. Their first album is a fine mix of metal, prog and some Italian folk elements. The CD [The Never Ending Illusion] will presumably be released in January 2009. Mark Wilkinson has been commissioned to do the artwork and the result is just stunning. See our webpage (www.galileo-records.com) for more information. The CD is now under production and in order to get an impression of what Daedalus sounds like, go to www.myspace.com/progdaedalus.

"Also, the Swiss ambient Prog Band Metamorphosis is very likely to sign their fourth album to Galileo Records. Metamorphosis has had considerable success with their three last CDs - Nobody Cares, After All These Years and Then All Was Silent - and has again progressed a quantum leap. The production is at an almost breathtaking level and compared to the music so far, the new CD will contain some harder edges and depart from the ambient sound towards a harder style with a lot of power but on the same time not neglecting the old virtues.



"Galileo Records has now set up a new homepage for its street team. There you will find a lot of relevant information on the bands signed to Galileo Records (such as Simon Says, Moongarden, Prisma and all the other acts). Please do not hesitate to go to that homepage and to become actively involved. We are working on some goodies for you:-) streetteam.galileo-records.com.

"The Galileo Records act Simon Says has been nominated no less than three times for awards: Their latest release Tardigrade has been nominated by Italian organisation Progawards in three different classes as follows: Best Foreign Record, Best Recording and Best Artwork. More information will follow here [in the GR newsletter] and on www.progawards.it as the contest proceeds.

"Do you know that the Galileo Records Shop - www.galileo-records.com/cdshop offers you a wide range of prog and metal titles at fabulous prices. The range is by no means limited to the Galileo Records range but goes ways beyond that. Moreover, the p&p rates are extremely reasonable. So do not hesitate to visit our shop; you will not regret it."
