Description
"This, the band’s eighteenth studio album, features 5 brand new tracks and the feeling within the band themselves is that they may well have produced their best ever work. Marillion has certainly not mellowed with age; the album artwork shows the acronym ‘FEAR’ embossed on a gold ingot, and the songs themselves bear the hallmark of true quality.

Whilst the album title itself is certainly provocative, it’s not meant to be offensive. The title itself features as a line in the track ‘New Kings’ and is delivered as a plaintive falsetto. Steve Hogarth said, “We’ve used ‘FEAR’ as a title with some relish, but only as it shows that we haven’t shied away, but it’s said with sadness. There are two basic impulses behind human behaviour: Love and Fear, and all the good stuff comes from love”.

‘FEAR’ sees the band taking on the big themes but they do not see it as their place to preach to people. ‘New Kings’ looks at the ravening beast that modern capitalism seems to have evolved into, ‘El Dorado’ examines the notions of political entitlement and the modern challenges for the UK, ‘The Leavers’ examines the impact of a transient life on the road for those constantly waving goodbye. The job is simple says Hogarth, “We use the amazing privilege of having both a platform and an audience to encourage people to look in the mirror and ask themselves the big questions – by doing just that ourselves”.

Buoyed by the feeling that on ‘FEAR’ they have very much nailed both the music and the lyrics, Marillion are touring the new material, with UK dates in November and December 2016. The focus has been on bottling that lightning that typifies the creative process, staying away from the safety zone and getting it right. As Steve Hogarth says, “We don’t know how many more albums we’ll make, or how long we’ll live. Everything has to be the best it can be”. With the final tinkering and finessing done, with ‘FEAR.’ Marillion show that they are as vital and potent as ever. Peerless and, yes, fearless…"

PRESS RELEASE: (ENGLISH)

MARILLION ALBUM 18 PRE-ORDER CAMPAIGN

Well it’s that time again. You’ve been asking us when you can pre-order the next Marillion album.

That time is now!

As you know, we have spent much of the year holed up at our studio, The Racket Club, jamming, writing and recording. It’s still early days but the initial jams are sounding like we really have the potential for something truly outstanding. There’s still a lot of work to be done and we can’t be sure when we’ll have it finished but our hope is that our 18th studio album (as yet untitled) will be ready for release some time in early 2016.

We’d like to offer you, the ever-faithful, the chance to pre-order it now. This time, however, we are excited to announce that our pre-order campaign will be bigger and better! It has become obvious to us however that this campaign has outgrown what we can achieve alone.

Marillion who, with your help, literally invented “Crowdfunding” (or “the Direct to Fan” model now so prevalent in the music business) back in 1997, have decided to join forces with the new masters of the art, PledgeMusic.

We consider PledgeMusic to be the best of the direct-to-fan companies and have decided, after much thought and many meetings, that PledgeMusic offers the band and our fans the most exciting possibilities. Albums sold through PledgeMusic are chart-eligible giving Marillion a shot at a good chart position. PledgeMusic have offices worldwide with many more staff than Racket and will make the entire process more manageable and, we are assured, even more customer-friendly than the high standard of service we normally provide.

As you will see, this also gives us the means to add even more items and experiences for you to choose from. We hope this campaign will raise more money than ever before so that we can fund a marketing campaign deserving of our album across many territories. This campaign will also aim to finance a longer and more impressive tour enabling us to reach more of you with a knockout show production.

PledgeMusic have the same level of great customer service that we pride ourselves on and totally understand the relationship that we have with our fans, so you can order with the knowledge that you are in safe hands.

We hope that you will be as excited as we are at this news and we thank you, as always, for your love and extraordinary support. Many bands say it, but WE know it. We have the best fans in the world. After all, together we started this thing!

H, Ian, Mark, Pete and Steve.

MARILLION ALBUM 18. AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW AT:

The new album will be released on September 9 2016. I did enter the PledgeMusic crowd funding so I should get an early copy.

The album is called Fear I believe, but not 100% sure about that.

I will likely be "in"; I usually am (though I can't afford the incredible # of official boots!)

Good to see you back, Pete. There will actually be domestic releases of the CD and SACD a week later, so I added links for those to your opening post.

Here's one of the songs:



And the album trailer:

Somehow I missed the SACD until your post. I'd like to hear this. Very interested if it's any good.

I have pre-ordered through crowd funding but I think I'm just getting the CD version, didn't know of a SACD.

This will be my first time seeing Marillion and I would love to see Fish but his health isn't good and I doubt he would tour the US.

Fish played within 40-50 miles of me once. I wish I would have gone.

Ironically, Clutching At Straws had a huge impact on my ability to quit drinking in 1989 (I'm an alcoholic), but Fish was never able to give it up afaik.
