TSO TO UNVEIL ROCK OPERA

09.22.09

Atlantic recording group Trans-Siberian Orchestra has announced the upcoming release of its hugely anticipated new album.  “NIGHT CASTLE” will arrive in stores and all digital retailers on October 27th.

Years in the making, “NIGHT CASTLE” is without question TSO’s most ambitious and adventurous work to date.  Founder Paul O’Neill and crew have created 26 songs that run the gamut from hard rock to classical, taking the listener on a journey through different points of history. The two-CD set will be released at a special low price, and will include a unique 68-page booklet, featuring story, lyrics, and full-color illustrations by legendary artist Greg Hildebrandt.

“Obviously our fans have been unbelievably patient,” O’Neill says.  “This was supposed to come out a few years ago.  But we were dedicated to making something really special, and the longer it took, the more pressure we felt to give people the best possible piece of art we could.

The LP will be preceded by the first single, “Nutrocker.” The track sees TSO paying homage to one of their greatest influences, ELP and features rock icon Greg Lake on bass.
