Prog supergroup Six By Six, who feature Saga guitarist Ian Crichton, Saxon drummer Nigel Glockler and vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Robert Berry (3), have announced they will release a second album in April.
Beyond Shadowland is the follow-up to the band's self-titled 2022 debut, and will be released through InsideOutMusic on April 26. you can watch a video for the lead single The Arms Of A Word below.
"On the new record we kept our style but have written stylistically some quite different tunes," says Crichton. "I gave Robert a lot of parts, sections, licks, middle 8's, etc. He added verses, bridges, etc... and vocals! He's a brilliant arranger. Of course, Nigel is a powerhouse. As always, he played great on this record."
"Playing with Ian and Robert is always terrific," adds Glockler. "Making this album was a productive time. Ultimately, we narrowed things down to eleven tunes. Good ones too!. I left the sessions feeling very pleased. I think everybody’s going to be impressed with the new album."
"I’ve always believed that music has the power to bring people together," concludes Berry. "This record is a testament to that notion. As always, working with Ian and Nigel on an actual second album was a moving experience for me. Truly special.”
Beyond Shadowland will be available as a Limited CD digipak, Gatefold 180g black 2LP (featuring four exclusive bonus tracks) and as a digital album. The artwork was once again created by Rob Fowler, which you can see below.
