Supergroup Waken Eyes confirm debut

Prog supergroup Waken Eyes, featuring members of the Aristocrats, Symphony X and Darkwater, will release debut album Exodus on October 30.

The lineup features vocalist Henrik Bath (Darkwater), guitarist-keyboardist Tom Frelek, bassist Mike Lepond (Symphony X) and drummer Marco Minnemann (Aristocrats, Steven Wilson) – hear teaser clips below.

Ulterium Records say Exodus features “a great mix of catchy melodies, challenging instrumental parts and epic cinematic movements.”

Frelek says: “The album is about being fearless – every song has something to do about fearlessness. It’s an album for those who struggle to stand up for themselves and can’t be heard.”

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
