"Something about Phideaux's work often immediately appeals. The music Phideaux 'discovers', unequivocally declares that it comes from somewhere deep within the composer's heart. His latest creation is no exception and strongly affirms this, in an album that contains a plethora of heartfelt melodies and numerous progressive twists.

The album has many layers that wait to be unpicked and with careful listening overtime readily reveal themselves. These create a stimulating and long-lasting listening experience that remains fresh even after repeated plays. I have found something new and different to discover on each listen and it has been a joyous experience linking some of the themes contained in Infernal, albeit in a different form, or with a different mood or emphasis, to those contained in the music of both Doomsday Afternoon and The Great Leap.

Here in lies one of the great strengths of Phideaux's art. His music wears the influences of classic prog on its sleeve, but combined with a whole range of other types of contemporary and alternative music, he is able to create something that, in the end, is beguiling, very bewitching and unique."

Essential Track: "Opening the final part of the double album set is 'From Hydrogen to Love', at over 14 minutes the longest and maybe the most important piece here. With all the destructive power of Supper's Ready or IQ's Harvest of Souls, it's full of buildups, towering orchestration, references and majesty that a song of this calibre invites." PM-TPA

HAKEN & LEPROUS, two of some of the most exciting bands in progressive rock today, are pleased to announce they will join forces for a North American co-headline tour in October/November 2018, with InsideOut label-mates BENT KNEE as special guests. These will be the first dates in support of HAKEN's recently completed, forthcoming fifth studio album due out later this year.

HAKEN comment: "We've been talking about getting out on the road with our good mates LEPROUS again since our European jaunt with them back in 2014. Both our bands have gone from strength to strength in terms of our live shows since then, and we're excited to see what they have planned, as well as playing brand new music from our forthcoming album. We're also stoked to have BENT KNEE along with us. It sure to be an epic night of music, don't miss it!"

Einar Solberg from LEPROUS adds: "So it's finally happening! I think the request we've gotten the most was "Please tour together with HAKEN!" Almost more often than "Come to Chile!" We actually did a tour together once in the UK back in 2014, and we have wanted to do a more comprehensive tour for a long time, but it just never worked out until now. We've been friends with Haken for quite a while, and to tour with them is long overdue. I think this is a great package for most prog fans, as it unites two pretty different approaches to the genre in one evening. And yet, despite our quite different approaches, I know for sure that we share a lot of fans and this package should make for fantastic shows for everyone!"

BENT KNEE have just completed their Paper Earth North American Tour, following the release of last year's Land Animal album.
