CD/DVD Releases: Iona - New Album, Tour News

Posted on Sunday, April 03 @ 15:00:00 UTC by nightowl

Almost 5 years after the release of Iona's last studio album The Circling Hour, the band's latest opus, Another Realm is fast nearing completion, with Dave currently mixing the album at his Open Sky Studio, and they are now taking pre-orders. Over a year in the making, this is the band's first double (2 CD) studio album, with approximately 93 minutes of brand new Iona music!

The band have expressed that in some ways this album is like a new beginning and a renewing of that original vision which first inspired the formation of Iona. With some incredible new songs, both epic and intimate instrumental sections, stunning vocals from a newly impassioned Joanne and introducing new band member Martin Nolan on pipes and whistles, Another Realm will take you on a journey that will deeply touch and inspire.

Pre-order now and be one of the first to receive the album upon release. Income from pre-orders also helps the band to fund the mastering and manufacturing process. Release date is still to be confirmed at the time of writing, but we're hoping for early summer or sooner if we can. Prices are £16.50 (UK) and £18.50 (R of W) - and this includes all postage and packing costs.

Meanwhile here are the latest tour dates (another German date added since their last Enews). "Please let your friends know! We're hoping to add more UK and German dates for later in the year. If any of you feel that you could help with publicity in your area, particularly if you live in the region of one of the forthcoming gigs, i.e., putting up a few posters, distributing leaflets (e.g., in your local shops / church / pub etc.), please email us with IONA STREET TEAM in the heading. Big thanks to those who have already responded and are now on our STREET TEAM list. Tour posters and flyers should be arriving at the office in the next few days to distribute to you," the band write.
