Dirt Rider From December 2016 From January 2017

Yes have announced the release of a new live album, Topographic Drama, that was recorded during the band’s U.S. tour in 2016-17. The set arrives on Nov. 24 in double-CD and triple-vinyl formats, with sleeve artwork by longtime collaborator Roger Dean.

Brutal and fast death-metal with twisted double-tracked vocals from Kam Lee, resulting in a cross between Mercyful Fate and Death. The deadliest of death-metal always comes from Florida, and this is no exception.

Dark Ages were founded in 1982 by Simone Calciolari which is the only remaining member from the original line-up. The album was recorded between July 2016 and January 2017 at the Mago Studio in Avio (Trento – Italy) and mixed by Maurizio “Tachy” Fracchetti, always identified as the 6th member of the band, thanks to the fruitful partnership and friendly relationship formed during the years of activity of the band.

A companion album to Grimspound, The Second Brightest Star features 40 minutes of brand new songs and instrumentals. Alongside these new tracks, the CD contains an additional 30 minutes of music presenting songs from Folklore (2016) and Grimspound (2017) in extended arrangements.
