Redemption - Reveal Details For New Album, New Single
Now that Redemption is fronted by Evergrey singer Tom S. Englund who replaces Ray Alder in the band, it's time to hear a new song from their upcoming new record. On July 27th, Redemption will release their seventh full-length album, Long Night's Journey Into Day - the first to be produced with Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Primal Fear, Amaranthe, Doro, etc.). For a preview, the 6-minute single "Little Men" can be heard now.
This is the first full-length since the departure of vocalist Ray Alder, and features the debut of Evergrey vocalist Tom Englund. Van Dyk said: "We were unable to tour The Art Of Loss because Ray was not able to actively participate in Redemption any longer, so we decided it was time to part company shortly after its release. Ray is a dear friend, and I have nothing but respect and love for him and what we created together. But at some point, it just became untenable."
"Because of the power of his voice and the emotion he brings, this isn't going to be a shocking transition for fans. Tom's also a very versatile vocalist, and being a songwriter, he has a tremendous melodic and compositional sensibility, and on top of that, we've known each other for many years, and there is a level of not just professional respect but personal friendship to it all."
Guitarists Chris Poland (Megadeth, OHM) and Simone Mularoni (DGM) return as guest musicians. When it came to backing up the music with visuals, the band once again turned to a longtime collaborator, Travis Smith, whose humbling resumé includes records by bands such as Opeth and Iced Earth.
Tracks:
01. Eyes You Dare Not Meet In Dreams
02. Someone Else's Problem
03. The Echo Chamber
04. Impermanent
05. Indulge in Color
06. Little Men
07. And Yet
08. The Last Of Me
09. New Year's Day
10. Long Night's Journey into Day

Nice song, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Having read the above information about the departure of Ray, won't they have the same problem with Tom since Evergrey is his main band?
