Here's the new press release by UK prog band Galahad:
For Immediate Release
UK Progressive Rock Ensemble Galahad Releases Highly Anticipated New
CD 'Battle Scars'
London, UK – 'Battle Scars' is the new studio album from established
English progressive rock band Galahad just released on Avalon Records.
The CD was recorded, engineered and mixed by Karl Groom (Threshold) at
Thin Ice studios. 'Battle Scars', Galahad's seventh studio album,
shows the band evolving from their well received and critically
acclaimed 2007 album 'Empires Never Last'. 'Battle Scars' is the first
of two new albums from Galahad scheduled for release this year.
'Battle Scars' contains a myriad of styles from rock and prog through
to techno, ambient and dance sounds via classical arrangements.
Throughout, the production is modern and pristine, incorporating
powerful, direct guitar riffs, lush keyboard arrangements and
occasional quieter passages of subtle beauty, melding together to
create an often massively epic sound. “I guess the whole gamut are in
there,” explains vocalist and founding member Stuart Nicholson about
the album's variety of themes, “frustration, anger, disbelief,
reflection, the acceptance of reality, fighting spirit against the
odds, hope for the future, negativity, positivity and more besides.”
'Battle Scars' is Galahad music for the 21st Century: very much
looking forward but also showing occasional and affectionate nods to
the analogue past.
In recognition of the band's 25 year plus history, a new recording of
their classic song “Sleepers” is included as a bonus track on the CD
and download version. “I think the whole package works really well,”
says Stuart, “the monochrome graphics and images with the odd splash
of red here and various pieces of pertinent imagery match the
atmosphere of the music perfectly.”
As always, the proof of the pudding is in the listening, as the band
suggests: “Go on, give it a whirl, leave your preconceptions at the
door and play it loud! We know it's our best album yet, and hope you
agree.”
Galahad's 'Battle Scars' is available on CD, digital download and
limited edition high quality 180gm vinyl LP in a gatefold sleeve.
In closing Stuart Nicholson had this to impart to Galahad's devoted
fans of many years: “I hope you like what we have come up with, and if
you know us well you'll realize that we try and make each album
different from the previous one, but still include certain Galahad
traits. Plus, I'd like to thank all those who have shown patience and
stuck with us – it is greatly appreciated by the band.”

Stuart Nicholson – vocals
Roy Keyworth – guitars
Spenser Luckman – drums
Neil Pepper – bass, guitar & keyboards
