Chester Thompson Talks New Music and New Supergroup 'Cosmic Cathedral'

PROGRESSIVE ROCK VOCALIST/SONGWRITER/MUSICIAN NAD SYLVAN ANNOUNCES RAW & PERSONAL NEW ALBUM ENTITLED ‘MONUMENTATA’ LAUNCHING THE SINGLE “THAT’S NOT ME” ZOOM EXCLUSIVE ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS WITH RAY SHASHO. Nad Sylvan, known as vocalist with legendary guitarist Steve Hackett, announces his vulnerable & personal new solo album ‘Monumentata’ for release on June 20th, 2025, via InsideOutMusic. Sylvan's music draws heavily from the golden age of progressive rock while blending in folk, classical, and modern rock influences, resulting in a sound that feels both classic and contemporary. This collection of 8 tracks continues bridging those styles while sprinkling in a few more, from the jazzy-pop feel of “Flowerland” to the 60’s R&B influenced “Monte Carlo Priceless,” to the aggressive rock flavour of “That’s Not Me.” While Sylvan handles vocals, keyboards and most of the guitar parts, the album features a number of notable guest appearances, the singer is helped out by fellow Hackett band member Jonas Reingold, Nick Beggs, and Tony Levin.

WELSH HARD ROCK/ETHEREAL POP GROUP ‘CARDINAL BLACK’ ANNOUNCE NEW RELEASE ‘MIDNIGHT AT THE VALENCIA’ AND EXTENSIVE TOUR: ZOOM SPECIAL EVENT WITH GUITARIST  CHRIS BUCK FROM THE UK ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS.   The story about Cardinal Black is a wild one: their very first show was attended by Steve Winwood, fresh off a three-night run at Madison Square Garden with Clapton. He was so taken with the performance that he invited them to record at his studio in the English countryside. Their debut single “Tell Me How It Feels” unseated Noel Gallagher’s High-Flying Birds from the top of the iTunes rock chart, and they’ve since shared stages with Peter Frampton (earning a standing ovation at Royal Albert Hall), Myles Kennedy, and Joe Bonamassa. Cardinal Black, the Welsh-formed trio of frontman Tom Hollister, guitarist Chris Buck, and drummer Adam Roberts – take their next monumental step with the announcement of their new album, Midnight At The Valencia – out May 23rd on Thirty Tigers.  Alongside the album news, the band have unveiled their brand new single, ‘Keep On Running’, Midnight at the Valencia feels like a document of the band's "10,000 hours" — the dive bars, the near-misses, the personal loss. It was tracked live to vintage analogue gear at Powerplay Studios in Zurich, using a ‘70s-era Disney console, and each song feels unfiltered.

THE LIBERTY CODE BY RAY SHASHO   In a fractured America ruled by the authoritarian Commonwealth Party, freedom is a relic of the past. Democracy has crumbled, the media is silenced, and truth is a weapon. But one man, Sam Edwards, a decorated Marine veteran and journalist, holds the key to unlocking a future worth fighting for. The Liberty Code was meant to be fiction. But with the telepathic guidance of two extraterrestrial Centauri ambassadors, J-Rod and Naxia, it reveals a hidden reality more terrifying, and more hopeful, than anyone imagined. From the classified S4 facility near Area 51 to the ruins of suppressed democracies, Edwards uncovers a global conspiracy and the master plan to stop it. After J-Rod’s death, a mission begins to fulfill his vision: the permanent elimination of nuclear weapons, the revival of free societies, and the awakening of Earth's people to a galactic truth long denied. Covert military operations like Operation Yuma liberate nations, and a new chapter begins as Earth’s enemies are exposed and confronted. But power resists change. The Commonwealth's grip tightens. The Blackout Committee censors all dissent. Journalists vanish, AI manipulates public perception, and chaos reigns. Through it all, a secret force rises, the Liberty Regiment. Men and women who refuse to surrender, who carry the last ember of the American spirit. As the fight for Earth’s soul intensifies, Edwards, along with Naxia and trusted allies, embarks on an interstellar journey to Proxima Centauri b, determined to preserve the truth and document a future shaped by alien allies and human courage. The Liberty Code is more than a novel. It’s a battle cry, a love story, and a blueprint for redemption. The truth is no longer hidden. The war for Earth has already begun. Will you decode it? AUTHOR BIO: Ray Shasho has been intrigued by UFO’s since witnessing an unearthly  phenomenon  at the age of eight years old. The astonishing event still remains lucid in his subconscious to this day. Shasho is a music journalist who has had hundreds of conversations with music legends and celebrities who truly believe that we are not alone in the universe, and many have also shared experiences of personally witnessing  a UAP(Unidentified Aerial Phenomena).Shasho injected many of the theories created by ufologist and military experts into his book. Ray’s  personal desires for a better world were constructed throughout the story of his latest book while delivering  bigger than life characters. Shasho’s fascination with the military and its latest technology and weaponry  is also apparent throughout the thrilling new novel Shasho titles The Liberty Code. Ray Shasho has authored three books, and currently hosts a podcast called Interviewing the Legends. AVAILABLE AT: bookbaby.com amazon.com barnesandnoble.com audiobooks   Support us on PayPal!

‘ENVY OF NONE’ RELEASE NEW ALBUM AND NEW SINGLE ‘STYGIAN WAVES’ ZOOM EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH LEGENDARY RUSH GUITARIST ALEX LIFESON  Envy Of None are the living, breathing definition of a supergroup.

However, the star in this band could very well be its youngest member – American singer-songwriter Maiah Wynne – whose wonderfully emotive vocals are able to spin the music in new exciting directions that thrill to the core. Envy Of None are back with their much anticipated second album, Stygian Wavz,  released on Kscope  March 14th. To celebrate the announcement, Envy Of None have shared a new single – the album title track ‘Stygian Waves’ – alongside a new music video.

PROG SUPERGROUP COSMIC CATHEDRAL RELEASING DEBUT ALBUM FEATURING NEAL MORSE…CHESTER THOMPSON…PHIL KAEGGY…BYRON HOUSE… ZOOM SPECIAL EDITION WITH EX GENESIS DRUMMER CHESTER THOMPSON ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS   Hello everyone and we are back for another edition of Interviewing the Legends… I’m your host Ray Shasho. How do you make an album that is different to what is usually expected of you? One answer is to work with musicians who also have decades of experience and worldwide recognition, plant a few seeds, then stand back and see what happens. For the Cosmic Cathedral project and their debut album ‘Deep Water’, this is exactly what Neal Morse did, joining up with Chester Thompson, Phil Keaggy & Byron House. As Keaggy comments: “It was an honor to be invited and included in the making of the Deep Water project with Neal, Chester and Byron.” Much of the album was created from jam sessions where Morse’s long-time audio partner Jerry Guidroz put the best parts together, then Morse and the band developed them into songs and epics. “Much of the album, and certainly “Time To Fly”, came directly from the jam sessions, where we were spontaneously creating in the room. Even a lot of the lyrics just came out of our mouths! It was amazing!” What resulted from all this was a more groove-orientated feel, which Morse calls a “prog meets yacht rock meets The Beatles” kind of album, with an unmistakable jazz fusion influence: “These guys are real groovers: even if they're playing proggy stuff, it has more of a Steely Dan feel to it, but when Phil and I start singing it sounds like The Beatles! In Deep Water, the ‘New Revelation’ section is based on a jam that turned into something that could have been on a Sting album! So, there’s a lot of variety here.” And Chester Thompson says, “I am super excited for people to hear this album. There was great communication between all the players. One of my favorite projects I’ve ever been a part of!” And coming from someone who’s played with Genesis and Frank Zappa, that’s quite a statement! The album will be available as a Limited CD Digipak, Gatefold 2LP & as Digital Album.

Hello everyone and we are back for another edition of Interviewing the Legends… I’m your host Ray Shasho. UK Progressive Rock group Solstice announce 8th studio album, Clann due on April 4th, 2025. New single "Firefly" out now! Voted Best Band in Prog magazine’s latest annual Reader's Poll. BIO: Voted Best Band in Prog magazine’s latest annual Reader's Poll, and arriving on an exuberant wave of positivity created by previous albums Sia (2020) and Light Up (2022), both widely acclaimed within the prog community and beyond, Clann completes the most recent phase of Solstice’s 40-plus year career. As band founder, composer, and guitarist (winner of Prog magazine’s most recent Best Guitarist Prog Award) Andy Glass explains, “[Sia] made me realize the potential and by the time we were working on Light Up the whole band had raised its game. I believed then that a trilogy of albums was what it would take to create our best work and track that journey. Clann is the final album in the Sia Trilogy and it’s everything I’d hoped it would be. Let’s hope the universe likes it too.” Clann manages to cover a great deal of musical ground in its nearly 40-minute running time. Solstice will be supporting the release of Clann with a strings of live dates including festival appearances in the UK, Europe and north America. The band’s live work has been fundamental to their growing popularity with a wide audience demographic.
