Progressive rock trio Alizarin, featuring Josh Kay on guitar, Jon Damon on drums, and Steve Ostaszewski on bass, have announced their debut album Cast Zenith and revealed the cover art, along with the track listing. The album is set to be released June 27th, 2018 in both CD and digital formats.
Cast Zenith was tracked both at Big Scary Tree Studios in Sunland, CA and at the Alizarin home studio in May, 2018. The seven tracks cover a wide spectrum of instrumental sonic landscapes and emphasize the melodic journey over intense technique (though the album does offer plenty of head-imploding technical jargon for the speed fiends). Consider if King Crimson and Opeth had a baby but were forced to raise it outside the city, due to an overabundance of djentrification. This may be a place to start but Alizarin is a group that strives to create compelling music that defies rock conventions.
The album also features guest keyboard solos from Adam Holzman (of Miles Davis, Steven Wilson, and Brave New World fame).
The track listing for Cast Zenith is as follows:
Faint Home
Anomaly
The Vast Enigma
The Window Afar
Cast Zenith
Gethsemane
Luminous Apparition
