Marred Productions is once again proud to present Connecticut's only progressive rock and art music festival MARPROG 010 Saturday October 2, 2010. Doors open at 12:00 and music starts 12:30. This year's event has been shifted to the newly renovated and much more pleasurable venue Nomads Adventure Quest located at 100 Bissel St., South Windsor, Connecticut. Nomads is a full service family entertainment facility that features 16,000 square feet of fun as well as a full service cafe and bar. It is very easily accessed from I-91 and parking is not an issue at all. Our audience will have plenty to keep themselves occupied between sets as the day goes by. It is a beautiful facility and the staff immediately embraced the idea of presenting the show. Hampton Inns has agreed to give us group rates so decent accomodations are available at a reasonable price. Simply mention Marprog when making reservations.

Hailing from New York City, Emanuel and the Fear is an eleven piece rock orchestra led by Emanuel Ayvas. Their debut album, Listen, showcases incredible performances, writing and dynamics. It easily ranks as one of the finest debuts I've ever heard as well as one of the best albums of the year. SOT Staff Writer Jordan Blum recently sat down with Emanuel and his friend Jason Mitchel (who appeared on Listen) at Snockey's Oyster & Clam House (owned by the Mitchel family) in Philadelphia to discuss the music. Amidst some great seafood and beer, equally superb stories were told.

Trinity Records writes:
It's been three years but finally Visual Cliff is back at work on a new 2010 release called "Collective Spirit". Vocalist Shane Lankford (Orphan Project & Fall Of Echoes) returns to sing on three tracks and the remaining five tracks will be VC's signature instrumental mix of rock/metal & heavy fusion.
A new band member will be introduced on this effort as well. The new permanent drummer for the band is Thomas Schuffert. Thomas comes into the band with a musical diversity and background that will support all of the crazy things that guitarist Rob Perez's mind likes to conjure up!
Look for sound samples to be available soon at trinityrecords.net

| News: ARJEN LUCASSEN'S STAR ONE -VICTIMS OF THE MODERN AGE 10/26/2010
|
|
|
|
|
Composer and multi-instrumentalist ARJEN LUCASSEN has firmly established himself worldwide as driving force in progressive rock. While best known for his rock opera project AYREON, the multi-talented Dutchman also regularly embarks on musical side projects, which explore different aspects of Lucassen's musical personality. As his previous project (GUILT MACHINE's "On This Perfect Day" 2009) was a relatively relaxed and subtle affair, LUCASSEN's muses responded by urging him to record something loud, heavy and anything but subtle for this new release. Thus it was a perfect opportunity to launch his musical spacecraft towards the galaxy of bombastic sci-fi rock by revisiting his STAR ONE project.

Long considered one of the prime movers in the progressive metal scene, it has been four years since Vanden Plas released the phenomenal Christ O concept album. Undaunted at the prospect of following up such an impressively complex, yet accessible collection, new release The Seraphic Clockwork sees the German five piece create an even more involving album both musically and lyrically. Sea of Tranquility staff writer Steven Reid recently spoke with guitarist Stephan Lill about what could possibly be the progressive metal album of the year and the activities that have been keeping the band busy during the last four years.

| Concerts: Babe Ruth Takes Montréal By Storm
|
|
|
|
It's hard to imagine that a band like Babe Ruth who have been out of the spotlight for an incredible thirty five years, would even ponder the idea of making a comeback after all this time. This classic rock outfit from the U.K. might have only been around for a relatively short period in the 70's (1972-75) but to many serious rock fans their debut album First Base ranks as an all-time classic. That first record incidentally also managed to connect with the hearts of many Canadian music fans, which as a result garnered them their first gold record abroad. Armed with an absolutely stellar new album Que Pasa, one that features all of the original members, it seemed only fitting that Babe Ruth would formally launch their return to the live arena with a series of three Canadian dates in Ottawa, Ontario (July 9th) , Montréal, Québec (July 10th) and Mont Tremblant, Québec (July 11th). Sea of Tranquility writer Ryan Sparks was on hand for the band's return to Montréal and brings us this full concert review.
