The Messenger, by Pallas

The Messenger

by Pallas

supported by

Igor Huertas En activo desde 1984 , uno de los referentes del neo PROG de los ochenta vuelve a la carga con Alan Reed de vocalista en un tono más melancólico q anteriores trabajos . Composiciones con gran carga de bajo y pedales de GraemeMurray que tb escribe las letras . Un Pallas maduro y más tranquilo que sigue manteniendo unas composiciones con partes muy sinfónicas y voces dobladas del propio Murray sobre el tono de Reed .

ProgMan wow - very heavy prog rock , love it

Keysofyes Sounds really nice.Glad Alan is back in the band. Favorite track: The Messenger.

about

‘The album that many believed would never be made, is here. And it’s about to blow your socks off!’

Forty years ago a band from Aberdeen recorded, not one, but two of the seminal rock albums of the 80s.

Now the classic Pallas line-up returns with ‘The Messenger’, an album which takes the preoccupations of that earlier age, and brings them right up to date. Where ‘The Sentinel’ echoed the concerns of the cold war and the shadows it cast on all of us, ‘The Messenger’ finds the band reacting to the existential threats to the world we find ourselves in. From what we’ve done to the world, to the politics that shape it.

Capturing the bleakness that many of us feel at how the world continues to turn, it nevertheless contains hope. A light in darkness, that all may not be lost. There is no outside help. No Sentinel to save us. This time the solution lives within us all.

This is an album which repays countless listens. With ‘The Messenger’, Pallas have created a rich musical tapestry which weaves back and forth from environmental concerns to a cold war grown hot once again. And the seeming inability of our leaders to do anything but pour fuel on the flames.

Featuring tracks like 'Sign Of The Times', 'The Great Attractor', 'Fever Pitch', 'Heavy Air', 'The Nine', and the eponymous 'The Messenger', the album encapsulates a spectrum of emotions, blending darkness with optimism, robust rock melodies with moments of introspection and marvel, It rocks out, yet has moments of tenderness and wonder.

Alan Reed, who rejoined the band after more than a decade as a solo artist explains.

‘I thought I’d finally got Pallas out of my system. We hadn’t spoken in a very long time.
But I heard this music at a fairly early stage, and knew there was a very special album here.
So - not to put too fine a point on it - I rejoined!’

‘I can’t wait for people to hear what we’ve been up to. It’s a musical event which I’m so proud to be a part of. ‘

The Messenger' is a testament to the band's ability to evolve their sound while staying true to their essence, presenting a musical narrative that is both a milestone in their career and a commentary on the modern world's complexities.

The first official outing of the "what would be" Steve Rothery Band. Riccardo Romano was missing with his keyboard wizardry and no singer at all (later Martin Jakubsky of Stillmarillion). Marillion's catalogue was represented by excerpts of instrumental sections where Steve had his solo spot. This is a milestone in the forming of a great band that later became the spokesman of early Marillion era and of course of Steve's solo material.

This is the most beautiful symphonic progressive music I have heard since I first heard Yes' Magnification nearly 20 years ago. Robert Reed's orchestrations are magnificent, and are very much on par with Trevor Rabin's film scores as well as Larry Groupe's score for Magnification. I am a french horn player, and his soaring horn parts are some of the best I have ever heard. For some reason I could not select Part1: Sacrifice as my favorite track. It is indeed my favorite. luckeydoug1
