Taking the Progressive experiments of "Red Queen To Gryphon Three" further, ReInvention is Gryphon's first new studio album for 41 years. With half of the current Gryphon lineup made up of original members, "ReInvention" is indeed a true Gryphon album!
Unlike some bands that own a particular band name and return with a whole new cast of members, Gryphon returns with three of the classic team. Brian Gulland is back with his famous bassoon, bass crumhorn, recorders, and harmonium playing, Graeme Taylor likewise makes a reprise on guitars and vocals and Dave Oberlé has returned on drums and vocals as well.
Gryphon are a British progressive rock band formed in the 1970s, best known for their unusual medieval and Renaissance sound and instrumentation. The band briefly flourished in the progressive rock heyday of the early 1970s, and then retired to other musical activities before reforming for a one-off reunion in 2009. Subsequently, Gryphon played some gigs in 2015, featured at the Cropredy Festival in 2016, and in 2017, an invitation to a ProgRock festival in Portugal, and in the UK, the NewDay Festival near Canterbury. The first new Gryphon record for 41 years released in 2018.
