Los Angeles prog-metal outfit REDEMPTION – featuring Nick van Dyk, Ray Alder (Fates Warning, Engine), Sean Andrews, and Chris Quirarte (as well as guitarist Bernie Versailles, who is presently on an indefinite medical hiatus) – will release their sixth full-length, ‘The Art of Loss‘, via Metal Blade Records worldwide! The album is available for pre-order now in various formats at metalblade.com/redemption, where fans can also watch the lyric video for the first single, ‘Damaged‘ – featuring guest guitarist Marty Friedman!
Containing over 70 minutes of their unique blend of passion, melody, aggression and complexity, ‘The Art of Loss‘ was produced once again by Tommy Hansen (Helloween, Pagan’s Mind, Pretty Maids, etc.), who worked with the band on 2009’s ‘Snowfall on Judgment Day‘. The cover artwork was also created by long-time REDEMPTION collaborator Travis Smith (Opeth, Amorphis). Musically, ‘The Art of Loss‘ follows its predecessor (2011’s ‘This Mortal Coil‘), but their newest work finds composition, musicianship and production taken up another notch, with an array of songs ranging from hard-hitting melodic metal to the 23-minute epic ‘At Day’s End‘ – plus, special guest appearances from Chris Broderick, John Bush, Marty Friedman, Simone Mularoni and Chris Poland. See below for the official track-listing!
The European CD-edition will be a Euro-exclusive 2-Digipak-CD with an exclusive bonus-CD!
