Product Information


Hackett says: “My new album Beyond the Shrouded Horizon breaks free from its moorings in early autumn and sets sail through choppy riffs and sudden electric storms to the odd romantic isle...”

“From Sinbad seas to Star Trek oceans of deep sky, it’s an odyssey. Invisible chords link pop to pomp, blues to baroque, embracing all genres discovered along the way. Let chthonic guitar forces and power of song take you to where waves crash through de-tuned orchestras over the edge of charted territories.”

This eagerly awaited new album follows hot on the heels of the tremendous success of his previous opus Out of The Tunnel’s Mouth which until now has been heralded as his strongest work.

Beyond the Shrouded Horizon is a deeply profound and mystical, yet heartfelt and spellbinding, progressive rock record which will seduce the listener and marks another step on the enthralling journey we are taking with Hackett as he makes sense of his life through music.

The album strikes a joyous note while remaining a fascinating and deeply personal affair. As Steve says “For all you restless souls out there, tighten your seatbelts and join me at full throttle on a ride from the shores of Loch Lomond to the Rings of Saturn.”

Beyond The Shrouded Horizon, Steve’s 24th solo release, charts an intriguing journey into the unknown on beautiful numbers like the epic A Place Called Freedom and the romantic melodies of Looking For Fantasy. Hackett pioneered the “tapping” technique which influenced the likes of Eddie Van Halen and countless other virtuous guitarists as well as producing countless classic works as a member of Genesis and GTR but Beyond The Shrouded Horizon is set to be a work of historic significance which represents the pinnacle of achievement thus far in his stellar solo career.

The band features long time collaborators Roger King (Keyboards), Gary O’Toole (Drums), Rob Townsend (sax, whistle, bass clarinet), Nick Beggs (bass) and the seductive vocals of Amanda Lehmann (who also plays guitar). Roger King and Steve’s wife Jo have written several of the tracks with Steve. Special guests include YES bassist Chris Squire, drummer Simon Phillips and flutist John Hackett, Steve’s brother.

Rezensionen


,,Mit dem Schwung der Alben Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth und Live Rails im Rücken geht Hackett aber unbeirrt seinen Weg, mixt Prog-Rock mit bluesigem Heavy Metal, Singer / Songwriter-Folk mit orchestraler Power, zeigt eindrucksvoll, wie kreativ er immer noch ist." (Good Times, Dezember 2011 / Januar 2012)

Press comments

K. Reckert in gaesteliste. de: "Besonderen Glanz verleiht dem Studioalbum die Gästeliste mit Groovedoktor Simon Phillips und Chris "Fish" Squire (bss). Ansonsten alles weitgehend unverändert bei der "Electric Band" mit u. a. Bruder John Hackett (flte), Roger King (keyb, hat auch produziert) Nick Beggs (bss, stick) oder Gary O' Toole (drms)."
