REDEMPTION To Issue Live DVD In Early 2009; Details Revealed LA-based prog-metallers
REDEMPTION have issued the following update:
"Hello friends.
It has been a long several months of negotiating with our label but we finally have news.
Redemption's live DVD will be released early next year. It was filmed in 5-camera hi-definition at the Progpower Festival in Atlanta. It will be released as a DVD with a bonus live CD of the performance.
The performance includes: 'Threads', 'Bleed Me Dry', 'Nocturnal', 'Memory', 'The Suffocating Silence', 'Fall On You', 'Release', 'Sapphire', 'The Death Of Faith & Reason'.
Runtime for the concert will be approximately 67 minutes. In addition, the DVD will contain a bonus tour diary / slideshow of our tour with DREAM THEATER, with our unreleased instrumental based on Dream Theater's 'Stream of Consciousness' that we recorded before Ray joined the band. It was this instrumental that caught the attention of Dream Theater, so we thought it would be fun to include it on a DVD
that commemorates our first tour with them.
Additional bonus materials will be included as well.
We also have a winner in the contest to name our DVD... over the over 100 entries we received, four chose the same name. We'll announce that name, and the winners (who will receive autographed copies of the DVD) in the next couple of weeks.
Lastly, we are hard at work writing material for Redemption's fourth CD and should have new music out before next summer. There will be between 8 and 10 tracks, and they range from heavy to epic, with the signature Redemption sense of musical urgency to them. We're very excited to start recording in the next several weeks.
Thank you very much for your continued interest and support through this extended period of silence... it's been frustrating for us as well, but we look forward to putting this delay behind us and getting back to making music for you.
All the best,
Redemption."
