Hackett\u2019s regular touring band of Roger King (keyboards, programming and orchestral arrangements), Rob Townsend (sax, clarinet), Jonas Reingold (bass), Nad Sylvan (vocals) and Craig Blundell (drums) are supplemented by Phil Ehart and Nick D?Virgilio (drums), the vocal talents of Amanda Lehmann, Durga and Lorelei McBroom, Christine Townsend (violin, viola), Malik Mansurov (tar) and Sodirkhon Ubaidulloev (dutar).<br><br>This new album is full-on electric&#8230;<br><br> Lockdown cobwebs are blown away in one fell-swoop here!? says Steve Hackett.  With the monster rhythm section of Jonas, Craig, Nick and Phil along with Rob\u2019s soaring sax and bass clarinet, Nad, Amanda and myself on vocals, Roger\u2019s darkly powerful organ and my guitar, we plunge full-pelt into that wild release of energy. <br><br>Our journey takes us from the classical orchestrations of Russia (Natalia) to the plains of Africa (Wingbeats) to mysterious Eastern shores (Shanghai To Samarkand), all via the ocean\u2019s depths (Relaxation Music for Sharks (featuring feeding frenzy)). The Devil\u2019s Cathedral pools the talents of Hackett\u2019s entire touring band and features King\u2019s atmospheric Gothic organ and a powerhouse rhythm display from Blundell and Reingold.<br><br>Hackett\u2019s vocals have never been bettered and his duet with Amanda Lehmann adds emotion to Scorched Earth a lament for the environmental horrors facing our planet. Throughout Hackett\u2019s guitars add a rich tapestry of colour with soaring solos and intricate weaving melodies.<br><br> It\u2019s a  no holds barred album,? adds Hackett,  riding that wave, unleashing those demons, dreams and nightmares, all crashing together over the shore.<br><br> I enjoyed the power of this album allowing my guitar to scream in joy and rage&#8230; and once again flying across those oceans to distant lands. It\u2019s terrific to connect creatively with musicians from far flung places, particularly when we\u2019ve all been unable to meet. We all have a voice in our cacophony of sound and we cry out together in the Surrender of Silence! <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Steve Hackett  Surrender of Silence track listing:<\/strong><br>1.

Hackett\u2019s intricate guitar work was a key element of Genesis albums from Nursery Cryme (1971) to Wind And Wuthering (1977) including the classic Selling England By The Pound.<br><br>After leaving Genesis at the end of 1977, Hackett\u2019s solo career, which now spans more than 30 albums, has demonstrated his extraordinary versatility with both electric and acoustic guitar. Hackett is renowned as both an immensely talented and innovative rock musician and a virtuoso classical guitarist and composer and this was recognised in 2010 when he was inducted into the Rock Hall Of Fame. He has also worked alongside Steve Howe of YES in the supergroup GTR.<br><br>Hackett\u2019s compositions take influences from many genres, including jazz, classical and blues. For his later studio works The Night Siren (2017) and At The Edge Of Light (2019) Hackett has explored the influences of world music. Recent tours have seen Hackett celebrate his time with Genesisincluding a spectacular 2018 tour in which he realised a long-held ambition to perform the works of Genesis live with his band and an orchestra.<br><br>The lockdown enforced by the 2020 global pandemic has proven to be a particularly creative period for Hackett. He began by releasing Selling England by the Pound &amp; Spectral Mornings: Live at Hammersmith, a live recording of 2019\u2019s hugely successful tour celebrating that Genesis classic together with the 40th?anniversary of one of his most-loved solo albums. Lockdown also gave Hackett the opportunity to write and record two new studio albums, the UK Classical Chart hit Under A Mediterranean Sky and the forthcoming Surrender of Silence.<br><br>Surrender of Silence out 10th?SeptemberPre-order now here:<a href=\"https:\/\/stevehackett.lnk.to\/SurrenderOfSilence\">https:\/\/stevehackett.lnk.to\/SurrenderOfSilence<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legendary guitarist Steve Hackett, releases his new studio rock album Surrender of Silence on 10th September 2021, via Inside Out Music.
