Posted on Monday, February 13 @ 23:00:00 UTC by nightowl

The folks at Radiant Records write: "If you haven't heard, Flying Colors is set to release on March 26th in Europe and March 27th in the US, and I [Chris Thompson] have worked out the details to not only offer pre-sales on this new album, but also to have Neal and Mike sign the first 100 copies.

"Pre-Sales will begin at 10:00 am CST on Wednesday, February 15th

"And as always, we will plan to ship every pre-sale order out in time to beat or meet the actual release date. This new album is receiving AMAZING reviews around the world and signed copies will sell fast, so mark your calendars!"

In a separate posting, "I think if most people looked at this band on piece of paper, they would think that it would be very progressive and instrumentally based music, but I think once we started playing together, we got taken into all new directions," Portnoy told Audio Ink Radio. "I think a lot of that had to do with Casey, because Casey comes from a more modern rock and alternative rock background, so I think that really helped take the entire band in new directions."

He added, "The diversity element is pretty crazy. It ranges from poppy classic rock sounds like The Beatles and Queen all the way to modern rock and alternative bands like Radiohead, Muse and Coldplay, and everything in-between. There’s some prog stuff like Yes thrown in, as well, and then there are moments that are like the Red Hot Chili Peppers or Foo Fighters. So, it really runs the gamut from track to track."

Plus this: "Neal has confirmed a performance at the Cornerstone Festival in Marietta, IL on July 6th. The details of who will join Neal in his performance are still being worked out and will be announced as they are finalized (there could be some surprises...). You can check it out and get more information at www.cornerstonefestival.com"

And finally , "A full week of recording with Neal, Mike and Randy has produced some amazing Progressive Rock music that Mike tweeted: "Just listened to my tracks for the new @nealmorse album on my flight home. Wow, it may be my fav album we've done together! Very proud of it. "
