The British prog rockers Marillion will start with a new album at the beginning of 2022. “An Hour Before It’s Dark” is the name of the band’s 20th studio album, the successor to their orchestral album “Marillion With Friends From The Orchestra” from 2019.

In September, the band announced: “The recording process has now been completed and Michael Hunter will start mixing in the next few days. As a collection of songs, it sounds very strong. We are all five very excited about what we have created, and Lucy [Jordache, manager] says, “it surpasses FEAR”. A real praise.«

Six new songs have been recorded by Steve Hogarth (lead and backing vocals, keyboards), Steve Rothery (lead and rhythm guitars), Mark Kelly (keyboards), Pete Trewavas (bass, background vocals) and Ian Mosley (drums) for “An Hour Before It’s Dark” at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios. The result is an album about the problems and opportunities of our time and, according to Hogarth, is musically rich and perhaps her most optimistic work for many years.

British rock band Marillion, founded in 1979, have, over the course of 18 albums, become one of the most commercially successful neo-progressive rock bands of the 1980s and are still one of the most outstanding representatives of their genre. As the first of their peers, Marillion have started to embrace the potential of the Internet for both their commercial approach and to interact with their audience. In 2013, the band was even declared ‘Band of the Year’ at the second annual Prog Rock Awards. Recorded at The Racket Club and Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, and with a running time of almost 80 minutes, ‘With Friends from the Orchestra’ features nine classic Marillion tracks re-imagined and accompanied by the In Praise of Folly String Quartet, with Sam Morris (French Horn) and Emma Halnan (Flute).

It all started with the release of “With Friends From The Orchestra” in 2019, when Marillion teamed up with “In Praise of Folly”, a string quartet accompanied by French horn and flute, to record a stunning album full of re-arranged Marillion treasures.

That same year, Marillion took these very special versions on tour and even added a few more songs like “Gaza” and “Zeparated Out” to the setlist, presenting them in a whole new light.

“With Friends At St David’s” is not only a visually and sonically remarkable live album, but also a dedication to crossing musical boundaries and making “friends” outside of one genre and musical universe.

Marillion release a very special Live Version of their epic song “Living in F E A R” – a powerful Song about peace and Contemplation; a Song that takes a General look at the fear that seems to characterize the present time, and how it is dealt with. “Living in F E A R is actually a misleading title, because the Song is about to stop in fear of life,” says singer Steve Hogarth.

Following the multi-platinum success of Marillion’s concept album Misplaced Childhood, the British quintet returned in 1987 with their fourth studio album, Clutching At Straws. The album peaked at #2 on the U.K. charts, where it scored Top 40 hits with “Incommunicado,” “Sugar Mice,” and “Warm Wet Circles.” Considered by many to be one of the neo-prog rocker’s finest, Clutching At Straws would also turn out to be Marillion’s final studio release with original singer Fish.

Often referred to as the leaders of the neo-progressive movement of the early 80s, Marillion is a great deal more than that. They are purveyors of soulful, powerful, and deeply-moving music, with a long-standing reputation of impressive live shows and an imposing, faithful and loyal global fan base. As the first of their peers, Marillion have started to embrace the potential of the internet for both their commercial approach and to interact with their audience. Throughout their over 35 year-long career and over 15 million records sold they have become the most outstanding representatives of their genre. With their latest studio album F*** Everyone And Run (F E A R) , their second one released by earMUSIC and the band s highest charting album across the globe since Steve Hogarth joined in 1989, Marillion have shown that they are as brilliant and vital as ever.

This is a fantastic single by Marillion. After listening to this single I am extremely exited for the release of the full album. Every musician shines here. I especially love the keyboards by Mark Kelly and vocals by Steve Hogarth. The song is very well written and never gets boring. The single also has a lot of emotion throughout it. The single also has magnificent guitar moments by Steve Rothery. Ever since I first heard this single I have been unable to stop listening to it. It’s that good! I would highly recommend listening to this if you are a fan of Marillion or if you just want to hear something great.

British rock band Marillion, founded in 1979, have become one of the most commercially successful neo-progressive rock bands of the 1980s and are still one of the most outstanding representatives of their genre. Throughout a celebrated career that has spanned almost four decades they have released 18 studio albums and sold over 15 million copies worldwide. On October 13, 2017, Marillion played at the Royal Albert Hall for the very first time. The concert was sold out in a split second and the audience, travelling from all over the world, was rewarded with an incredible Marillion show. In two parts, “All One Tonight” firstly showcases the band s acclaimed 2016 studio album “F E A R” in full. Accompanied by an awe-inspiring light show and films, Marillion perform their incisive and era-defining zeitgeist with unparalleled passion and power. The second half introduces “In Praise Of Folly” and guests, a string quartet with flute and French horn that throughout the rest of the show inject an extra depth and emotion to some of Marillion s best-loved live material. The concert film was directed and edited by Tim Sidwell and recorded and mixed by Michael Hunter.

After Fish’s departure, Marillion teetered on the brink of collapse: The frontman’s distinct voice and poetic prose made him the defining member of the band. One can only imagine how record executives held their collective breath as Steve Hogarth was brought in to take the reins. His first outing with band, 1989’s Season’s End, removed all doubts about the band’s future. Hogarth’s unique, expressive voice fit Marillion perfectly; on the full-throttle rock assault of “The Uninvited Guest” or the emotional “After You,” Hogarth’s singularity is unmistakable. The heartfelt “Easter,” with its imaginative electric-acoustic arrangement, is another showcase for Hogarth’s talents. Marillion’s ability to write music whose ideals live and breathe in the listener continues on Seasons End, particularly on the inspiring “Holloway Girl,” which dissects the injustice of incarcerating mentally ill female inmates (at England’s Holloway Prison) instead of placing them in appropriate psychiatric facilities. The beautiful “Easter” is the band’s plea for peace in Ireland, while “The King of Sunset Town” has its lyrical roots in the massacre at Tiananmen Square. Hogarth’s flexible range and beautiful phrasing shine on the entire album. In 1999 Marillion released a remastered version of Seasons End, including a bonus disc of outtakes and alternate versions as well as the previously unreleased “The Bell in the Sea” and “The Release.” Both are strong tracks and are welcome additions to the Marillion catalog. While 1995’s Afraid of Sunlight is the peak of Marillion’s growing, impressive body of work, Season’s End shouldn’t be missed either.

At the time, Marillion’s remarkable, full-fledged 1983 debut Script for a Jester’s Tear was considered an odd bird: replete with Peter Gabriel face paint and lengthy, technical compositions, Marillion ushered in a new generation of prog rock that bound them forever to the heroics of early day Genesis. Intricate, complex, and theatrical almost to a fault, Script for a Jester’s Tear remains the band’s best and sets the bar for their later work. Filled with extraordinary songs that remained staples in the band’s live gigs, the album begins with the poignant title track, on which Fish leads his band of merry men on a brokenhearted tour de force that culminates with the singer decrying that “…the game is over.” “He Knows You Know,,” a song sprinkled with drug paranoia and guilt; as the song veers to its chorus, Fish announces, “Fast feed, crystal fever, swarming through a fractured mind.” If “The Web” hints at a grain of commercialism, “Garden Party” is a joyous anthem that showcases Marillion at the peak of its powers. Bogged down by some hilariously over-the-top British poetry, “Chelsea Monday” may be one of the album’s lesser moments (if there are any), but the magical “Forgotten Sons” concludes the opus magnificently. Luckily for Marillion fans, EMI released a remastered version of Script with two different versions of “Market Square Heroes,” “Three Boats Down from the Candy,” “Grendel,” “Chelsea Monday,” the demo of “He Knows You Know,” and an alternate track titled “Charting the Single.” A vital piece for any Marillion head and an essential work for any self-respecting first- or second-generation prog rock fan. – John Franck

“This, the band’s eighteenth studio album, features 5 brand new tracks and the feeling within the band themselves is that they may well have produced their best ever work. Marillion has certainly not mellowed with age; the album artwork shows the acronym ‘FEAR’ embossed on a gold ingot, and the songs themselves bear the hallmark of true quality.
