Steve Hackket Reveals Details Of New 2012 UK Tour

Progressive rock giant Steve Hackett returns with another stunning release 'Beyond the Shrouded Horizon' as well as a brand new UK tour for February 2012.

This highly anticipated album, due to be released on September 26th, will be available in four formats: CD; Limited Special Edition 2 CD & media book which includes a bonus CD with 6 previously unreleased tracks; vinyl LP with gatefold sleeve and digital album. The album will be the focus of Hackett’s 'Breaking Waves' Tour and is sure to amaze and astound old and new fans alike, blasting them into Rock’s stratosphere.
 
Hackett says: “My new album Beyond the Shrouded Horizon breaks free from its moorings in early autumn and sets sail through choppy riffs and sudden electric storms to the odd romantic isle...”

“From Sinbad seas to Startrek oceans of deep sky, it’s an odyssey. Invisible chords link pop to pomp, blues to baroque, embracing all genres discovered along the way. Let cthonic guitar forces and power of song take you to where waves crash through de-tuned orchestras over the edge of charted territories.”

This eagerly awaited new album follows hot-on-the-heels of the tremendous success of his previous opus 'Out of The Tunnel’s Mouth' which until now has been heralded as his strongest work. 

'Beyond the Shrouded Horizon' is a deeply profound and mystical, yet heartfelt and spellbinding, progressive rock record which will seduce the listener and marks another step on the enthralling journey we are taking with Hackett as he makes sense of his life through music.

'Beyond The Shrouded Horizon', Steve’s 24th solo release, charts an intriguing journey into the unknown on beautiful numbers like the epic 'A Place Called Freedom' and the romantic melodies of 'Looking For Fantasy'. Hackett pioneered the “tapping” technique which influenced the likes of Eddie Van Halen and countless other virtuoso guitarists as well as producing countless classic works as a member of Genesis and GTR but 'Beyond The Shrouded Horizon' is set to be a work of historic significance which represents the pinnacle of achievement in his stellar solo career.
