The Neal Morse band – Neal Morse (lead vocals, guitars, keyboards), Mike Portnoy (drums, vocals), Randy George (bass), Bill Hubauer (keyboards, vocals), Eric Gillette (guitars, vocals)—will take fans on THE GREAT ADVENTURE with their latest double concept album due out January 25, 2019 on Radiant Records via Metal Blade Worldwide. It will be available in three formats: a two CD package, two CD/DVD Special Edition featuring behind-the-scenes video clips of the making of the album, and three vinyl LPs. Pre-orders begin December 4 on Radiant Records’ website. The album link is below just to make sure you received it, too.
The third video clip from THE GREAT ADVENTURE for “Welcome To The World 2” was released on the band’s official YouTube page this morning. A lyric video for the song was also recently released (link below), but they wanted to put together this clip of the band recording the song at Morse’s studio in Nashville which is why they’re calling it “Welcome To The World 2.” If you’d like to post the video on your site, feel free and please let me know so I can share a link with the band’s team and fans.
As Mike Portnoy declares:
“WELCOME TO THE WORLD 2!!
Here’s another taste from the upcoming NMB album “The Great Adventure”
This ones shows a bit of a heavier side and features yours truly bringing some sinister flavor to the story.
(Keep in mind, all of these singles/videos are like scenes from a movie…the big payoff will be when you get to actually experience the ENTIRE journey!)
And we plan on releasing 2 more songs over the next 2 Thursday’s leading to the Jan 25th release.”
The follow-up to 2016’s critically acclaimed THE SIMILITUDE OF A DREAM, which critics hailed as “a masterpiece,” will be the ninth studio album with Morse, Portnoy and George, and the third as a true collaboration with this current lineup. Together, Morse and Portnoy have launched four bands, but the one that has endured the longest and thus with the most musical output has been THE NEAL MORSE BAND.
